11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: to the Home and Chicken and Waffles website, the first

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: thing you see food is family, the heart and soul

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: of togetherness. Food brings folks together, no matter who they

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: are or where they're from. It's a way of showing

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: you care, a love language passed down from generation to generation.

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: When you cook for someone.

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: You're not just feeding them, You're creating memories that will

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: stick with them forever. That's the magic of food. The

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: reason is the heart and soul of any family gathering. Yes,

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: what a great message.

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: Thank you and that's what we mean it mm hm

22
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: we do.

23
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when.

24
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: You come to our place, what we want you to

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: do is feel like you're having Thanksgiving dinner every day.

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: That's my favorite holiday.

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: And do you like turkey?

28
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Though I'm not really a turkey.

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: First I go to Turkey this year I decided.

30
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: I'm not really, but I like a mistake. I'm more steak.

31
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: Okay, so I will have primary on Thanksgiving, but I

32
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 4: do just like that just all the family getting together.

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: It's not about a gift. It's more about just fellowshipping

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: and being with people that.

35
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: You really truly love.

36
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,560

37
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

38
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: You know when we think about what we're celebrating.

39
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 2: Yes, And so just for people to have information because

40
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: I think you know, Derek B. Johnson is like a

41
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: legend in his own right for people that know him

42
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: and know what you represent, just give a little background

43
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: history on.

44
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: Who you are, well a little history.

45
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: Is definitely from Oakland, represent Oakland very well, love home

46
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: and really passionate about at this particular part. Well I've

47
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: always been, but this time in life representing everything like

48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: I'm from everything Black. I want to make sure and others,

49
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: but I want to make sure that we take care

50
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: of ourselves and really circulate the dollar in our community.

51
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: I mean, we have had a lot of movements, We've

52
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: had a lot of I should say, you know, activists,

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: we have political leaders. But until we start circulating the

54
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: dollar and collaborating like we're doing and do business with

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: one another and put our money back into our community,

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 4: that I don't feel that nothing is going to change.

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: We have to take care of.

58
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: Our own and it's time to build our own communities.

59
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: And so I'm representing my school at HBCU alone.

60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes. Just got

61
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,160

Speaker 1: You still on a high, still on a.

Speaker 3: But yes.

66
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: So that's my main mission is to really make sure

67
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: that we circulate the dollar in our community.

68
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: And to that end, coffee uplifts people. Yes, is on

69
00:02:59,480 --> 00:02:59,919

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: Yes, coffee Uplift And let me tell you, they love it.

00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: Oh good, they love it. I have people coming back

00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: just buying drip coffee. Okay, all right, Yeah, we've always

Speaker 4: sold We always sold coffee. But it wasn't like no,

74
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: we want we were just I say, well we want

75
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: to say no, we just want to drip this vine.

76
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, and we use coffee uplifts people for Drip Coffee.

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: And I was so excited for this collab because I

78
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: can't I also wait to come there and eat. But

79
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: that's a whole nother story. And we're going to do

80
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: a brunch, yah know, some fun things together.

81
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: Yes, we're gonna make it up.

82
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: Carolyn Jahnson talk to us about Black Cultural Zone and

83
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: how that was born for you.

84
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

85
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 6: So I'm from Oakland as well, born and raised in

86
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 6: the Stokland, and the Black Cultural Zone was born with

87
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 6: artists who were trying to figure out how do they

88
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 6: stop the gentrification and displacement of black people in Oakland.

89
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 6: There was a big transportation thing coming and they knew

90
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 6: it would be negative, and they said, we want a

91
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 6: Black Cultural Zone. You know, Oakland was fifty one percent black.

92
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 6: Now we're projected to be ten percent after right by

93
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 6: twenty forty.

94
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: We're we're disrupting that.

95
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: She is started disrupting that.

96
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 6: So the Black Culture Zone is a place, it's a collaboration,

97
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: it's a CDC. And so we are acquiring properties actively

98
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 6: because if we don't own the properties, we'll be.

99
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: Like tumbleweed forever being moved.

100
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 6: So our goal is to control the land and a

101
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 6: land trust and make.

102
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: Sure we take care of our people.

103
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: What an important movement because I'm thinking about you know,

104
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: I live in Brooklyn, I'm from Brooklyn, and seeing how

105
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: much Brooklyn has been changing. Yes, literally having these like

106
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: block association meetings because there's these you know, some of

107
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: kids calling the cops on things that people have been

108
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: doing just being outside, right, you know, and people want

109
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: to change the neighborhood when they move into it instead

110
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: of understanding, this is the culture, the culture that you

111
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: moved into, so adapt to it, say hello to people,

112
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: you know, just be part of that. But that's an

113
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: issue when you feel like, well now I can't be

114
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: outside and play my music anymore because somebody's gonna call

115
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: the cops. Then they're going to come. It's turned into

116
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: a whole thing and just eat. And I can't even

117
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: imagine full neighborhoods.

118
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, And.

119
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: When you move into a neighborhood and you're disruptive, right,

120
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 4: because that's the plan from others, is to come in

121
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 4: by low rebuild and then price it to a point

122
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 4: where the people that are indigenous to that land speaking

123
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: of indigenous people can't afford it. Then you're just really

124
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: displacing people. So we want to change that. We want

125
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: to make sure Oakland has a rich black history. We

126
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: want to make sure through black businesses. I'm not proud

127
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 4: to say I'm the second oldest black restaurant in Oakland

128
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: behind Everton Jones Barbecue Wow, and growing up there were

129
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 4: so many restaurants that I hate that to say that.

130
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: I don't even I don't feel proud to say that statement,

131
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: Like why am I the second? Like I'm fortunate then

132
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: I have been in business for twenty two years. I'm

133
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: fortunate to partner with cup and carry the coffee. But

134
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know, we want

135
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: longevity in our community.

136
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 3: We want to be able to pass down from generation

137
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: to generation.

138
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 4: So when we're gone, you know they have a neighborhood

139
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: to go to, they can go to a bank, they

140
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: don't have to drive, they don't have to drive to

141
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 4: go get fresh produce.

142
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, being in business for twenty

143
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: two years in the restaurant business, people will tell you

144
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: that is one of the hardest businesses it is to succeed.

145
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: And what do you think you've done.

146
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: That has been your secret sauce to success?

147
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: The people it's definitely not me. It's definitely the people

148
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: of the community. We moved locations to a new location

149
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: last year and we were closed for like five or

150
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: six months somewhere near people reached out via email.

151
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: I got literally over five thousand emails. Wow, like you closed.

152
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. I met my husband in there

153
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: late night. You know.

154
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 4: I just the stories, and so it really motivated motivating

155
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: me to get reopened. But also the people that I've

156
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: given opportunity to is employed. I've been able to employ

157
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: individuals that look like me, people that have been.

158
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: Out of jail.

159
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: I know, that's always a big mission for.

160
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 4: You have never given an opportunity. And I get stopped

161
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: on the street, Hey boss, and they call me boss

162
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: at work, Hey boss, And you know, I went back.

163
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: I got a law school student. I'm you know, I've

164
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: done this. A young lady Chanel, Oh my god. She

165
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: was one of the headaches too, but love her. I

166
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: saw her coming out of my building. And I live

167
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 4: in a you know, a high rise downtown and I

168
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: saw her coming out.

169
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: And she says, oh my god, we live in the

170
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: same building.

171
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: I said, how are you doing? She has a what

172
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: is a doula doula doula doula company.

173
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it was so important right now.

174
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: So she has a doula company and she employs people.

175
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: So to watch people transform their lives has been I

176
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: think the difference. And the community really feels ownership of

177
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: the business, like they really full a part of it,

178
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: and I feel that's extremely important.

179
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: I do think that is one of the secrets of

180
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: success when people come there. Of course you got to

181
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: love the food too, right, that's always like the food.

182
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: But I think the ambiance has to be good.

183
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: But I also feel like we really are like trying

184
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: to support businesses that we understand who represents that particular

185
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: business to write the soul exactly. But business is so

186
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: important to us. It's kind of like the home a

187
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: chicken and waffles is kind of like the cheers for people.

188
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you know where you know you're going to.

189
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: They feel home, they feel comfortable.

190
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: We don't bring your side peace because you are going

191
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to see.

192
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: People speaking of which you know people.

193
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: So we used to stay them to four am. We

194
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: should say them to four am. And so we were

195
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: the only thing open in the city at that lake.

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: Baby to come and whenever people be like, whenever there

197
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: was a fight or a break on our disruption, I'd

198
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: always go to whoever and be like, no, why would

199
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: you come in here with either the family is in here,

200
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: they're coming in here now. You did cause so yeah,

201
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: please don't bring you side keep with you And you talked.

202
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: About being open till four am. Do you think times

203
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: have changed? And because people aren't out that late anymore?

204
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: Even anymore?

205
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: What is something?

206
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: What are some trends that you've noticed in this business

207
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: now that you're like, okay, we got to make these

208
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 2: adjusts and how do you know when to make those adjustments?

209
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: Well, sales and traffic should be an indicator of when

210
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: to make adjustments. Definitely, COVID. We all had to pivot,

211
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: so it's a lot of online ordering.

212
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

213
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: And then people are not out late.

214
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we used to be partying. I know you did.

215
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: And yes you did save my life because it was.

216
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: Like go home and sit down, she's over here with me.

217
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: Yes.

218
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: So I think that times have changed. This generation excuse

219
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: my cough, little asthmatic. Today this generation doesn't party, I

220
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 4: think like we.

221
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Do, no, not at all.

222
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: Like we be at the club and then you be

223
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: at the after hour class, the.

224
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: Sun coming up.

225
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore, Yes, FaceTime.

226
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: So I think that that that definitely has shifted and

227
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: how we do business. But I would say the secret

228
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: to longevity is actually concentrate on providing and being the

229
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: best at whatever it is that you do.

230
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: Don't think about the money.

231
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of people go in the

232
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: business saying I want to make money, and you're so

233
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 4: focused on the money that you skip the details of

234
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 4: providing a good product, to service whatever it is that

235
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: you do. Your coffee is amazing, Well love it. I

236
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: don't even really drink coffee, and I've been drinking since

237
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: this process. I've been drinking coffee. Like I told them

238
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: last week, I said, I need a break, so I'll

239
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: be on that coffee like I need a coup I

240
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: need to come to that.

241
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: You know, when we first were talking, you were like,

242
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: I already have so much natural energy.

243
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

244
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: But I want to say coffee, and I always stress

245
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: it to people, it does have a lot of health

246
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: benefits and so when you just do I was just

247
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: looking at an article the other day where they were

248
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: talking about your heart health and relation to coffee and

249
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: the studies that they've done when it comes to type

250
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: two diabetes, when it comes to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and I

251
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: always tell people it's what you put in your coffee

252
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: that can make it have other types of issues. If

253
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: you're putting a lot of heavy cream, sugars, things like that.

254
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: But if you can.

255
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: Drink coffee and understand that this is something that I

256
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: think we always have this preconception of coffee or misconception

257
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: of coffee is not good for you.

258
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: But the truth is that it does have a lot

259
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: of health benefits.

260
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: And I also want to reiterate coffee does come from

261
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: all black and brown places, yes, And so when you

262
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: go to other countries, when you go to Ethiopia, when

263
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: you go to Jamaica, when you go to any of

264
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: these places, when you go to Peru, like they drink

265
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: coffee like it's a standard.

266
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: There is indigenous to them.

267
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 4: And I think the beautiful thing about this is all

268
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: of the wines in our business are black owned female

269
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 4: brands and.

270
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: Now our hey, that's wine, yeah, straight out of Oakland baby, Yes. Yes, Now, Carolyn,

271
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the vision for a black

272
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: cultural zone and how that was even born.

273
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 6: So the vision is really that we anchor Black culture

274
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 6: in Oakland and remind people that we have a right

275
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 6: to remain and that we have a right for our

276
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 6: culture to be an essential element of Oakland. We were

277
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 6: red lined into East Oakland, we had to live there.

278
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 6: Now that people we discovered it, it was like okay.

279
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: Time to go.

280
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 6: But you know, we always say we're not going anywhere.

281
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 6: But to say that, you have to be able to

282
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 6: control the real estate, control the quality of life, and

283
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 6: really infuse Oakland with real culture. We do over one

284
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 6: hundred events a year just reminding people of who we are. Wow,

285
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 6: yes we stayed concerts everything.

286
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: She went to Columbia doctor Carroll.

287
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I will further.

288
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 5: My mother appreciates that she's.

289
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: Very humble, and that's what I love about her. Yeah.

290
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: So we have a goal of raising five billion dollars

291
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 6: over the next ten years so that we can actively

292
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: control thirty percent of all the commercial real estate properties

293
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 6: and transactions in Oakland for our literally buying the block.

294
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 5: Ye, buying the block.

295
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: What are some of the key projects that you have

296
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: just to let people know and understand.

297
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 6: We have a Liberation Park, Market Hall, which is affordable

298
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 6: housing thirty thousand square feet of market hall space, food hall,

299
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 6: event hall.

300
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: Those are the big projects.

301
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 6: So we have three of those in twelve different districts,

302
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 6: and then we buy the properties around there to create

303
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 6: the ecosystem.

304
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: So we bought a.

305
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 6: Church it's now performance venue. We bought a lot it's

306
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 6: going to be a food truck park. So the twelve

307
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 6: districts in East Oakland, each one has a big project

308
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 6: and we buy little projects. So in the last six

309
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 6: months we about eleven properties and we're converting them from

310
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 6: a church to a performance centers to all of those things.

311
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 6: Because what we do when we buy properties that we

312
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 6: actually can hasten gentrification if we don't buy their properties

313
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 6: around there. We're also buying apartments to house folks. About

314
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: ten percent of our one hundred and fifty ambassadors that

315
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 6: we hired in the last year or so, ten percent

316
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 6: are living in their cars currently, and so we need

317
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 6: to buy lots to actually put eighty us on there

318
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 6: so they have a place to live. All these things

319
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: have to happen at the same time long term, short term,

320
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 6: so it's a lot of work.

321
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 5: So five billion dollars is our goal.

322
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: I give the next change I see is there a

323
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: plan to replicate this in other places, because it feels

324
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: like something you really laid down the groundwork with everything

325
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: you've been doing.

326
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 5: We've been touring. I mean, this is happening in Brooklyn,

327
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 5: this happened in New Orleans.

328
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 6: It's happened in all of the cities that are port

329
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 6: cities or places where there was redlining, same metaphor, it

330
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 6: has been happening.

331
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 5: There's a book.

332
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 6: I shouldn't promote it, but there's a book about how

333
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 6: cities are built and how this gentrification is happening. It's

334
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 6: a plan. So Oakland can't be alone. We have to

335
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: connect across the country. And I think people look to

336
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 6: Oaklan around the world because the home of the Black

337
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 6: Panther Party, which we are descended. So we have to

338
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 6: lead and we have to share. So that's what we're

339
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 6: trying to do, is make sure we connect across the country.

340
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: Derek, I already know there's some plans. Okay, can we

341
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,560

Speaker 2: We just did the cookout. The cookout was such an

357
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: amazing experience. It's an event, an annual event that he

358
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,120

Speaker 2: and different types of cuisines.

360
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: And it's just a pop up.

361
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: But I couldn't imagine what that would be like to

362
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: have that be something more permanent, right, And.

363
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,240

370
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: if financially everybody listening can't do something, think about relationships

371
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: that you have, support that you can give you just

372
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,360

Speaker 3: Shout out to the noops, this is black brand that

382
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: bought it.

383
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: At the bookstore. My pants are a black designer. Now

384
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: my jewelry and stuff's not. So we're gonna work on that.

385
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: But how black are you today? And if you can

386
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: say you're thirty percent black with what you're wearing, then

387
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: that can transcend over to yes.

388
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: So it makes you, It makes you makes you think.

389
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, here's collabs and there you go.

390
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: So okay, So if we just start thinking that way,

391
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: then what that's doing is for my purpose and my

392
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 4: goal is to if you think that way, then you're

393
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: starting to sechlate that dollar, right, and if it's not

394
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 4: a dollar, you can circulate your network if you need

395
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: a connection to something like those of us that have

396
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: a network and you know, know people stop gatekeeping, right,

397
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: you know, if you can expose and I don't need

398
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 4: to monetize. If you need to meet somebody if I

399
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 4: know them, you know, we have to. That's how we build,

400
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 4: you know.

401
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: I also speaking of building, we are having an event

402
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: at coffee uplifts people, Yes and shout out to Maya Harris. Yes,

403
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 2: and Shonda Scott is going to be in conversation with

404
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: Maya Harris.

405
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: And so the book is called give Me a Year. Yes, Yes,

406
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: Now tell me about give Me a Year, because.

407
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 4: I know so no, give me a year like Shanda.

408
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: And it's funny, I've been knowing Maya and Shonda since

409
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: high school. And so Shanda just went on this quest.

410
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: She wanted to just do something different, like there's things

411
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: that she thought of and dreamed of doing and just

412
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: always let fear held her back. And so she did

413
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: it with the swimming challenge as well. She had a

414
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: bowl win though she swam from Alcatraz to to San Francisco.

415
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: Now that's I can't even swim in the first minute,

416
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: freezing water, shark infested waters.

417
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 4: Let's start there. But she did it, and so from

418
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: there she went on to dough twelve New Things a

419
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 4: year and so each month she did. And so that's

420
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: what her book kind of puts the journey and it

421
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 4: tells you her journey.

422
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: So we're going to hear all about that at CUP. Yes,

423
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited to me and Tony, my partner,

424
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 2: and CUP. We're going to have that conversation there. But

425
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 2: that's also part of like what you're doing and what

426
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: we're doing is building community and making sure that we

427
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: have a space for people to see what's going on,

428
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: things that we love, yes, and appreciate and like you said,

429
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: no gatekeeping, we want to make sure we're spreading that.

430
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: And the fact that you are opening up your facility

431
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: for a space for Arthur to come, that's major, right,

432
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 4: So you're you're doing exactly what I hope most well

433
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: all businesses, especially black businesses do, because it's very difficult.

434
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: And it's very expensive to promote a book.

435
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: It's very expensive and and people will tell you it's

436
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: really hard for authors like to and I read all

437
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: the time. That's why I have a soft spot in

438
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: my heart for any type of author who is promoting

439
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: their book. If there's a way that I can up,

440
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: you know, just uplift that, like coffee up list people.

441
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: But if there's any way that I can do that,

442
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 2: that's something especially, you know, something that's quality and amazing

443
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: that I would refer that I would read on my own.

444
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: I would love to do that.

445
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: Yes, well, you know you you you are participating in

446
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 4: the change.

447
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: So you know, what do you say all the time?

448
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 5: We are who we've been waiting before.

449
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 4: Yes, we are, we are who we've been waiting for.

450
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna come save us. We have to save ourselves.

451
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: That sounds like a shirt, what color?

452
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: What color?

453
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: Copyright?

454
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: A man?

455
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: And AI is helping a lot though with businesses, right,

456
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: are we all implementing absolutely?

457
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, absolutely tech forward At the Black Coaches on

458
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 6: you cannot as a nonprofit with how they fund you.

459
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: It doesn't break even. And so we have to embed.

460
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 6: Tech and AI in every level in order for us

461
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 6: to actually generate enough to be able to survive. It's

462
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 6: interesting the nonprofit industrial complex. I'm from my backgun as

463
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 6: a real estate developer. When I really got into nonprofits,

464
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, this is you give us five

465
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 6: thousand dollars. I want us to have fifty thousand interactions.

466
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 6: That's impossible. So AI is critical. And you know we

467
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 6: always say in Oakland AI and you combine that with

468
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 6: our African intelligence AI square.

469
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 5: We got this and so I just have to use both.

470
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm in all right, Well, thank you so much
