I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Some of the players in this style have taken all the swing out of jazz drumming, but not Scott. He’s recorded for Blue Note Records, and his music often references social change, such as his \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/CcyJlQLu6-8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tribute to Philando Castile\u003c/a>. With his group the Kendrick Scott Oracle, his show this week in San Jose is part of a new series called Black Cab Jazz, where the capacity is just over 100 seats. That’s on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Hammer Theater Center’s black box theater in San Jose. \u003ca href=\"https://hammertheatre.com/event/sj-jazz-hammer-theatre-cabaret-kendrick-scott/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Primary Wurld’\u003c/strong>: This group show at SWIM Gallery comes with a unique twist. All the installations, outfits, performers, snacks and even the audience will be in primary colors: blue, red or yellow. The curator, Baby Buu, seems really serious about this—there will actually be someone at the door checking outfits to make sure showgoers comply with the dress code. They’re keeping the art itself pretty hush-hush, but some interesting looking sculptures and club-kid looks related to the show have popped up on Instagram. The overall goal, though, is an immersive experience where the audience becomes the art. \u003cem>Primary Wurld\u003c/em> takes place on Saturday, Oct. 19, at SWIM Gallery in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://www.luggagestoregallery.org/2019/09/primary-wurld/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Armenian Food Festival\u003c/strong>: When you think of Armenians in California, you might think of the Kardashians. But if you’re looking for traditional Armenian cuisine, it’s not exactly a staple of their TV show. Those curious about Armenian food are in luck, though, because fall is when Armenian churches in the Bay Area break out the food and dance. For 77 years, the St. John Armenian Church has held their food festival, where you can expect to see bread and butter (probably in the form of phyllo dough desserts), plus candied nuts and fruits, kufta and more. Proceeds benefit Armenian charities. That’s on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20, at St. John Armenian Church in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"https://stjohnarmenianchurch.com/food-festival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Headlands Center for the Arts Open House\u003c/strong>: If you’re looking to get out of town, the remote and beautiful Headlands Center for the Arts in the Marin Headlands holds an open house on Sunday. This isn’t your regular open house: it’s in a former Army barracks building that’s 100 years old, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. So if you get tired of seeing the studios of artists-in-residence—and I guarantee you won’t, the art is often astounding—but if you do, you can always go on a hike, or walk down to the beach. In fact, the building itself is art, since famous artists like Ann Hamilton and David Ireland added to it, and the bathrooms there are the weirdest and most fun bathrooms I’ve seen in years. That’s an open house on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Headlands Center for the Arts. \u003ca href=\"http://www.headlands.org/event/fall-open-house-7/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rock the Ship Festival\u003c/strong>: It seems only natural that the punk label Pirates Press Records would throw a show on the water. The centerpiece of the Rock the Ship festival comes on Saturday, Oct. 19, with an all-day punk rock extravaganza on the U.S.S. Hornet in Alameda, with influential British underground bands Cock Sparrer and Subhumans as headliners. Also playing: CJ Ramone, the Ramones’ bassist in the ’90s; all-woman anarcho-punk band Bad Cop/Bad Cop; and Oakland’s own Harrington Saints, plus lots of others. Off the ship and back on land, the festival also hosts four nights of shows at Starline Social Club in Oakland, Oct. 17–20. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rocktheshipfestival.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Do List has you covered with concerts, festivals, exhibitions, plays, performances and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can listen to this week’s episode above with Gabe Meline, Nastia Voynovskaya and Grace Cheung, or read about our picks below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kendrick Scott Oracle\u003c/strong>: Kendrick Scott’s a leader in this new style of jazz drumming that’s exploding right now; a mix of jazz and skittering electronica-style beats played on the drums. Some of the players in this style have taken all the swing out of jazz drumming, but not Scott. He’s recorded for Blue Note Records, and his music often references social change, such as his \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/CcyJlQLu6-8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">tribute to Philando Castile\u003c/a>. With his group the Kendrick Scott Oracle, his show this week in San Jose is part of a new series called Black Cab Jazz, where the capacity is just over 100 seats. That’s on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Hammer Theater Center’s black box theater in San Jose. \u003ca href=\"https://hammertheatre.com/event/sj-jazz-hammer-theatre-cabaret-kendrick-scott/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Primary Wurld’\u003c/strong>: This group show at SWIM Gallery comes with a unique twist. All the installations, outfits, performers, snacks and even the audience will be in primary colors: blue, red or yellow. The curator, Baby Buu, seems really serious about this—there will actually be someone at the door checking outfits to make sure showgoers comply with the dress code. They’re keeping the art itself pretty hush-hush, but some interesting looking sculptures and club-kid looks related to the show have popped up on Instagram. The overall goal, though, is an immersive experience where the audience becomes the art. \u003cem>Primary Wurld\u003c/em> takes place on Saturday, Oct. 19, at SWIM Gallery in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://www.luggagestoregallery.org/2019/09/primary-wurld/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Armenian Food Festival\u003c/strong>: When you think of Armenians in California, you might think of the Kardashians. But if you’re looking for traditional Armenian cuisine, it’s not exactly a staple of their TV show. Those curious about Armenian food are in luck, though, because fall is when Armenian churches in the Bay Area break out the food and dance. For 77 years, the St. John Armenian Church has held their food festival, where you can expect to see bread and butter (probably in the form of phyllo dough desserts), plus candied nuts and fruits, kufta and more. Proceeds benefit Armenian charities. That’s on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20, at St. John Armenian Church in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"https://stjohnarmenianchurch.com/food-festival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This isn’t your regular open house: it’s in a former Army barracks building that’s 100 years old, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. So if you get tired of seeing the studios of artists-in-residence—and I guarantee you won’t, the art is often astounding—but if you do, you can always go on a hike, or walk down to the beach. In fact, the building itself is art, since famous artists like Ann Hamilton and David Ireland added to it, and the bathrooms there are the weirdest and most fun bathrooms I’ve seen in years. That’s an open house on Sunday, Oct. 20, at the Headlands Center for the Arts. \u003ca href=\"http://www.headlands.org/event/fall-open-house-7/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rock the Ship Festival\u003c/strong>: It seems only natural that the punk label Pirates Press Records would throw a show on the water. The centerpiece of the Rock the Ship festival comes on Saturday, Oct. 19, with an all-day punk rock extravaganza on the U.S.S. Hornet in Alameda, with influential British underground bands Cock Sparrer and Subhumans as headliners. Also playing: CJ Ramone, the Ramones’ bassist in the ’90s; all-woman anarcho-punk band Bad Cop/Bad Cop; and Oakland’s own Harrington Saints, plus lots of others. Off the ship and back on land, the festival also hosts four nights of shows at Starline Social Club in Oakland, Oct. 17–20. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rocktheshipfestival.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Growing up in a small town in England, bullies slapped him in the face, punched him in the gut and called him racist slurs. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he was harassed and called a “terrorist” on the street. He is still routinely questioned by TSA when he travels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As France thought about these experiences, he began to reconsider auditioning for \u003cem>Queer Eye: \u003c/em>“I could have an opportunity to change the narrative for my people,” he says. “And so that’s why I decided to take the actual audition. … I’ve got to continue to show that Pakistanis are wonderful people, that we are caring people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>France reflects on his childhood, his career in fashion and on his role on \u003cem>Queer Eye\u003c/em> in the new memoir, \u003cem>Naturally Tan. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview highlights \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On growing up Pakistani in the U.K., and being bullied as a kid \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the age of five or six, when you get hit for your skin color, it makes no sense, because you don’t see that as a problem. Violence was ever-present in my life. That was something I never escaped, I just saw it as normal. … I remember saying this to my husband, that I was never bullied as a kid, and then I would talk about my childhood and he was like, “You’ve said you haven’t been bullied but that absolutely is bullying!” The strange thing is, we never saw it as bullying. It was just a matter of fact. … I don’t think anyone ever noticed [I was gay], I think that they were just so consumed with my color that they just seemed to lose sight of the fact that I was also homosexual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being exposed to fashion at a young age because his grandfather owned a denim factory \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were making denim [with] Disney prints on them, and so I was able to experience Western clothing like most South Asian kids will never have the luxury of doing. I was able to see how a piece of fabric turns into a garment that you will actually wear, and so I was privy to the ins and outs of the process. And at the end of that process I got to keep some of those things that were slightly off — like a stitch was wrong or a color was off—those things I got to keep. So I was able to experiment with clothes more so than most people. Even though I wasn’t allowed to wear it around the house, I was still exposed to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On experiencing racism after the Sept. 11 attacks \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I saw the planes going into the towers over and over again on the news and I felt immediate dread, because it was so clear what the message was: that it’s Muslims. There was a lot of talk about Pakistan and Afghanistan. I’d already experienced 17 years of racism for being Pakistani, and the interesting thing was, I looked around the room at the other Pakistani people, and there weren’t that many, and every one of us had the exact same look of complete dread like, “Oh no, we’re going to pay for this.” And it happened immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the stress of running three fashion businesses and the toll it took on his mental health\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had built up these three businesses that, thankfully, were doing incredibly well. But the production was getting more and more problematic, and the thought of continuing on with that was just too much to handle. And so I got really depressed. … I never experienced that before. I don’t suffer bouts of depression. I’m one of the most positive people I know. I always can see a way out of a situation and how to get out of a situation to make myself happy again. But with that I couldn’t see a time when I was going to be happy in business. So I started to really think of how I could solve the problem. It wasn’t really solving the problem, it was just getting out of the situation, and getting out of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I had a moment one day … on my way home from work, I called my husband and I told him that I need him to talk to me and help me. I feel like I want to drive off this bridge and I’m almost positive I’m going to do this if he’s not there for me. He’s wonderful. He’s an angel sent down from heaven, and he talked me through it, and urged me to just get home as soon as possible. He was going to leave work and come home to make sure I was OK, and then when I got home his answer was simple. It was just, “Let them go. You don’t have anything to prove.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve always been the kind of person my whole life that has felt I have something to prove and … I know it’s because of my childhood and the amount of abuse we suffered and I suffered, that I’ve always felt like I had to prove something and I feel that even to this day. Every day when I get out of bed and I work as hard as I do, it’s to prove my worth. And so he said, “You don’t have to prove yourself in this business anymore. You’ve made it. Your businesses are successful. Your plan was to always sell them maybe 20 years from now, but sell them now, get rid of them, we don’t need any more money.” And so I did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On telling his Muslim family he was marrying a man \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My dad died when I was young. He died just before I was 14 and I wasn’t out at the time, so he never would have known that I had desires to marry a man. My mom, when I told her, my mom is quite liberal, she practices her religion but she’s quite liberal and … is quite docile. She just wants to keep the peace and go with the flow, and as long as everyone’s happy she’s fine. And so that was the case with me. I told her that I was marrying a man, she was like OK. … There was never a fight about it. There was never really a discussion really about it. She was just so matter-of-fact about it and has been ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so it was quite easy for me. … The fact that she had a love marriage [with my father,] she [too] had gone against our cultural norms, which, back in the day—this was in the ’70s—was shocking, absolutely shocking. She was probably one of the very few people in her community, if not in her extended family, who would have had a love marriage. And so I think that that probably made it easier for her to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she always knew that I was the black sheep of the family. She always knew that I wasn’t going to have the same life as her other children. She knew from my very early age that I was nothing like her other children. She didn’t know how to articulate it, as I said, she’d never even heard the word “gay” before, but she just said I wasn’t like any of her other sons. … I was like her extra daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54BVvP7zvDQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On his initial reluctance to join the \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Queer Eye\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong> cast \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was worried about the people that I know and love being attacked by people within our community. I wasn’t concerned about what Caucasian people might think of it, necessarily. It was what my own people would think of it, that they would be concerned that my family have a gay man who’s very openly gay, very unabashedly gay, so publicly. … In our culture you don’t represent yourself, you represent your family.

Growing up in a small town in England, bullies slapped him in the face, punched him in the gut and called him racist slurs. After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he was harassed and called a “terrorist” on the street. He is still routinely questioned by TSA when he travels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As France thought about these experiences, he began to reconsider auditioning for \u003cem>Queer Eye: \u003c/em>“I could have an opportunity to change the narrative for my people,” he says. “And so that’s why I decided to take the actual audition. … I’ve got to continue to show that Pakistanis are wonderful people, that we are caring people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>France reflects on his childhood, his career in fashion and on his role on \u003cem>Queer Eye\u003c/em> in the new memoir, \u003cem>Naturally Tan. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview highlights \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On growing up Pakistani in the U.K., and being bullied as a kid \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Violence was ever-present in my life. That was something I never escaped, I just saw it as normal. … I remember saying this to my husband, that I was never bullied as a kid, and then I would talk about my childhood and he was like, “You’ve said you haven’t been bullied but that absolutely is bullying!” The strange thing is, we never saw it as bullying. It was just a matter of fact. … I don’t think anyone ever noticed [I was gay], I think that they were just so consumed with my color that they just seemed to lose sight of the fact that I was also homosexual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being exposed to fashion at a young age because his grandfather owned a denim factory \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were making denim [with] Disney prints on them, and so I was able to experience Western clothing like most South Asian kids will never have the luxury of doing. I was able to see how a piece of fabric turns into a garment that you will actually wear, and so I was privy to the ins and outs of the process. And at the end of that process I got to keep some of those things that were slightly off — like a stitch was wrong or a color was off—those things I got to keep. So I was able to experiment with clothes more so than most people. Even though I wasn’t allowed to wear it around the house, I was still exposed to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On experiencing racism after the Sept. 11 attacks \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I saw the planes going into the towers over and over again on the news and I felt immediate dread, because it was so clear what the message was: that it’s Muslims. There was a lot of talk about Pakistan and Afghanistan. I’d already experienced 17 years of racism for being Pakistani, and the interesting thing was, I looked around the room at the other Pakistani people, and there weren’t that many, and every one of us had the exact same look of complete dread like, “Oh no, we’re going to pay for this.” And it happened immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the stress of running three fashion businesses and the toll it took on his mental health\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had built up these three businesses that, thankfully, were doing incredibly well. But the production was getting more and more problematic, and the thought of continuing on with that was just too much to handle. And so I got really depressed. … I never experienced that before. I don’t suffer bouts of depression. I’m one of the most positive people I know. I always can see a way out of a situation and how to get out of a situation to make myself happy again. But with that I couldn’t see a time when I was going to be happy in business. So I started to really think of how I could solve the problem. It wasn’t really solving the problem, it was just getting out of the situation, and getting out of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so I had a moment one day … on my way home from work, I called my husband and I told him that I need him to talk to me and help me. I feel like I want to drive off this bridge and I’m almost positive I’m going to do this if he’s not there for me. He’s wonderful. He’s an angel sent down from heaven, and he talked me through it, and urged me to just get home as soon as possible. He was going to leave work and come home to make sure I was OK, and then when I got home his answer was simple. It was just, “Let them go. You don’t have anything to prove.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve always been the kind of person my whole life that has felt I have something to prove and … I know it’s because of my childhood and the amount of abuse we suffered and I suffered, that I’ve always felt like I had to prove something and I feel that even to this day.
