Reaching out to Oakland

I live in Oakland, but I work in San Francisco. Therefore, most of my time is spent in San Francisco. I've been doing many speaking engagements in middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities and community based organizations. Whenever I get invitations to share my experience with people, I am there. However, most of my speaking engagements have been conducted in the city where I work.

It's known that San Francisco has more resources to service the youth and community than Oakland. I wanted to do more speaking in Oakland, especially sharing with the youth. Thankfully, the National Council on Crime and Delinquency gave me the opportunity to reach out to the youth population in Oakland. I spoke at Roosevelt Middle School this afternoon to promote self respect, importance of education and being responsible to about a hundred youth. I also had the pleasure of connecting with folks from the East Bay Asian Youth Center. It's the beginning of a series of talk in Oakland schools. I always welcome the opportunity to share with others.

So Oakland, here I come.
