Insightful Dialogue
Purposeful Community Engagements
We developed the OAKTalkx speaker series to be the reverse of a traditional Town Hall. Instead of the usual format where city administrators present their plans to community, we switched it up and put business owners in front of the mic and invited city staff and leadership to come listen and take notes. The result is a six episode series of true life, right now testimony from Oakland small business. Each episode was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Developed in partnership with City of Oakland Dept of Economic and Workforce Development, OAKTalkx is a rare glimpse into the triumphs and challenges of six local small business owners at a critical moment in Oakland’s economic evolution.
