OAKLAND!! Thanks for reppin our hood! Means a lot to us!

Meeting 2PAC at age 16 in Montgomery Alabama when he was a roadie and backup dancer for Digital Underground was one of the most memorable experiences I've had. He invited me and my friends to come play spades after the show, but we didn't go. I regret it to this day...

A lot of people don’t understand Oakland but we truly the heart of the bay and anyone who move her visit here and actually experience the city knows that rich in history food culture and community 💯

Oakland is a different vibe! The few times I've been I enjoyed it. If you all do a part 3 when things open back up. Definitely Souley Vegan, Kingston 11, Xolo, Bar Shiru (the most chill place), the Ferry Ride from Jack London to the San Fran Ferry Building, Pandora's HQ right across from Agave Uptown, AfroTech + Blavity, Plank, Oaklandish, Elbo Room, just to name a few.

I am so happy to have come across such a great video highlighting all the great things about Oakland. I was born and raised and am still currently living in Oakland. My city has always been painted in such a negative light by the media. It is so wonderful to see you showcase this beautiful city with its diversity, culture, food talent and more! You didn’t a superb job at the filming and production of this piece! You have a fan for life!

'Black Heroes in Oakland California Documentary' is quite an awesome and vicarious experience! Thanks Jubril. Checking out the links.

Thank you for this HIGHLIGHTING OAKLAND!!!! Absolutely greatly done. The culture is amazing, the vibe is contagious and so many good eats. The healing community is growing and expanding. There wine is alright lol, but Black girls code… lit 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Yes!! I loved living in Oakland, and really miss it. Thank you Jubril for the memories. Peace and Blessing to you on your journey.

Dude. YOU GET OAKLAND. I transplanted from NYC to SF, but Oakland is where I work, where I'm looking to move, where I go for restaurants--AMAZING: from michelin-starred to mad creative food trucks, diverse, technique-driven, community-focused restaurants featuring everything from French to Southern Soul, Ethiopian to Cambodia, and so many mad, inspired fusions (French/Soul Food; Italian-Spanish, Latin-American-Caribbean , Asian-American classic, Vegan Soul food, add a million etcetera) music, art, culture, tech: Oakland is what San Francisco used to be--a wildly creative, activist, bohemian, artistic, and truly diverse city. And, all due respect for Atlanta, but seriously: Oakland in my humble view is THE bohemian, intellectual, artistic, and cosmopolitan centre of African-diaspora communities (plural): fearless, entwined, both centered and mixing freely , intimately, romantically, artistically, with all of Oakland's communities, It seems like EVERYBODY is involved in the arts. And it is a beautiful city of lakes, art deco buildings, urban grit, gracious hillside nables, victorian homes, mansions, bungalows, new, old, evolving Oakland. Amazing city.

That’s my hometown. Grew up a block away from lake Merritt

Oh my goodness!! What an amazing episode.The young lady from Black Girls Code is so confident and talented. Love seeing our youth impact change in a positive way!💕👏🏾👏🏾

Miss these videos. Glad to see your coming back. Can't wait for more content.

Yeeee!!!!!!! Love your Chanel! Oakland is like no other! I love everything about this episode, can’t wait to see when you do Napa

Omg, I went online just to find some ideas for my upcoming trip to the Bay and ran across your feature on Oakland. I've spent alot of time in Cali, but I find myself most attracted to Oakland for the same reasons you cited. Thank you so much for sharing your such a phenomenal guide. As my trip draws closer the excitement swells, but even more so now after watching your feature!!

thanks for this one fr0om a born and raised Oakland guy... love it

Awww Love this video !! Really great episode.

Great video! Thank you for showing the beauty of oakland!

Tupac is from the Marin City Projects located right across from $5 - 15 million dollar homes. You should go there and do a tour. Oakland has gentrified and displaced the most African Americans out of low to moderate housing. Many seniors, students and singles (long term residents)are pushed out by techie transplants. We've legally assisted and bailed out people when they did Bay Bridge eviction protests. Joloff truck is first known at the Ashby Bart Flea Market (Berkeley). They came to Oakland after it heavily gentrified. My team helped advocate for more Black business permits that would allow vendors to park and sell on the lake. Cana( family friends) is located in Lake Merritt off Lakeshore, not downtown. People either need to have a high income and have a strong support system or solid family already in place if they plan to move there. It's only enjoyable and glamorous if you make three times the rent. Yes, we've donate funds to support Black Girls Who Code. We ♥️ Julia and Nancy Khan (mixed girls)! They both do alot for African American women.

Baayyy Areaaaa! You definitely hit up some of the best spots & met some of the best community leaders when you where here.

Great EDUCATIONAL video. MAJOR PROPS to PASSPORT HEAVY for showing the real deal.

I miss the town so much ...and watching you I almost cried but I'm Goin soon

I can relate to being black in tech.. The only black person in my bayarea startup.

Should’ve stopped by Lois cakes and pies for breakfast lots of celebrities have eaten there ! Black owned wished you’d had checked out Cuban food too! Maybe a part 3

💚👍🏽

💪🌊💪

✊🏿💯💯

A💯

We started the sideshows and hyphy moment !

If your moving to the Bay it’s “Old Schools” not lowridahs. Two different regions. Low riders are LA. 😅

Legitimately, how do you know all these people?

Get prepared to participate in the tribute we (Money B, JR Valrey, and Bobby McCall)are gonna send out to Oakland, The Bay, 2 Pac, and now Shock G. In what would have been Pac's 50th birthday. Paytc

How they got Draymond green playing ball and still got time to host a web series

Que bonito esas partes que graban,porque no graban toda la basura qué hay en la mayoría de las calles ese cochinero que hacen,es una vergüenza esta ciudad y que la misma la autoridades bo hagan nada

Tupac was in High School when he was in Baltimore...There was no game to learn..he was a student !!!!

Visit but don't move here unless you can afford to live in the Hills. Crime spiked back to 90's rates. African Clubs: AU Lounge, Parliment, Leige open now w/ food vendors.

It's Marin city

Is it me or does he look like Draymond Green?

Nah spent some time there with a ceo f that

Oakland is what people think Atlanta is.

Tupac was born in NYC (the birthplace of Hip Hop) and he moved to Baltimore at the age of 13.

I can’t stand the gentrification what is going on in the city of Oakland California. It infuriates me. I remember when somebody called the police on the people barbecuing at the lake. And it’s like how dare they people will make me sick

Hope u got some bitcoin brooooo
