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.",

The development is the latest in a string of “creative placemaking” projects in the Bay Area aimed at making the region more livable and creatively engaging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firm won a design competition that asked applicants to reimagine two sites — 900 Innes and India Basin Shoreline Park — as a single, 1.5-mile-long stretch of park space along the city’s southeast shoreline. SF Recs and Parks required the proposals to include five design elements: continuous connector trails, bike paths, increased access to the shoreline, enhanced habitats and gathering spaces. The design firms were also asked to restore the historic Shipwright’s Cottage at 900 Innes as well as find ways to provide recreation, such as human-powered boating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11370080\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11370080\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GGN_IB_View_Aerialshrunk.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of GGN's proposal for India Basin Park\" width=\"600\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GGN_IB_View_Aerialshrunk.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GGN_IB_View_Aerialshrunk-400x208.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aerial view of GGN’s proposal for India Basin Park \u003ccite>(Courtesy: San Francisco Department of Recreation and Parks)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Seattle-based GGN beat 19 other firms for the project. GGN is known internationally for its work. The company’s portfolio includes projects for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Campus in Seattle, the Lurie Garden at Millennium Park in Chicago, and several projects with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., including the National Museum of African American History and Culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“India Basin includes a rare expanse of original tideflats and preserved boatyard architecture, says Shannon Nichol, founding principal of GGN. “Our approach to the competition further softened the shoreline, added walking routes across Innes Avenue between the water and the neighborhood, and sized the park’s spaces for everyday activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Located in what the parks department describes as “a long-neglected corner of the city,” India Basin is one of San Francisco’s last remaining tracts of wetlands, sitting in a post-industrial area near Bayview Hunter’s Point with few amenities nearby. City officials say the park project will give new recreational access to nearby communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My friend @isawstephen wrote this poem about Frederick Douglass and Valentines Day yesterday and I thought it was amazing! / Painting: @mccalmanco The Internet has images of hearts and sweethearts on lock today. Instead I'll use this space to embrace the greatest essayist and orator to ever grace this nation. Frederick Douglass was born a slave who did not know his birthday, so he chose Valentine's. He did not read until he was a teen. Knowledge was the pathway for slaves, he would later say. But you need feet for freedom too. \"I prayed for twenty years But received no answer until I prayed with my feet.\" Just one of the infinite number of thought provoking quotes he spoke or wrote. When I think of my words and legacy, my liberties and the things I'd like to leave behind, I find I channel him more than any other man, because of his eloquence, grit and wisdom that continue to outlive him. \"People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.\" I'm flexin my hustle muscle. When I compare my struggle, I'm absolved of my trouble, but emboldened to open doors closed – And move forward. Progress doesn't idle, I suspect my idol would utter. I don't know why he chose Valentine's Maybe because love is liberation It's worth dying for It is a relentless fight with no culmination in which freedom is not uniform and must be formed within the designs of the love you opine – It is a divine celebration. Love is strength and hope. It is your wife the seamstress on the Underground Railroad sewing your clothes like a tailor in the mold of a sailor so you can meet her on the shores of freedom's sea. Love is the opposite of isolation. It is emancipation, and I suspect that's why this birth date was picked by the great abolitionist. #HistoricPOC #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackBeauty #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter #BlackInstagram #OurHistory #EducateYourself #History #Herstory #blackhistorymonthphotochallenge #IllustratedBlackHistory\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\">A photo posted by @mccalmanco on Feb 15, 2016 at 8:07am PST\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin-left: 100px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:8px\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:62.5% 0;text-align:center;width:100%\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding:0 4px\"> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BBTT5ZAiPE-/\" style=\"color:#000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"At first I wasn't sure I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.\" – Gordon Parks, photographer, activist, humanitarian. / Painting: @mccalmanco #HistoricPOC #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackBeauty #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter #BlackInstagram #OurHistory #EducateYourself #History #blackhistorymonthphotochallenge #IllustratedBlackHistory #GordonParks\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\">A photo posted by @mccalmanco on Feb 2, 2016 at 3:07pm PST\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin-left: 100px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:8px\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:62.4537037037% 0;text-align:center;width:100%\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding:0 4px\"> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BBqzCLxCPLd/\" style=\"color:#000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alain LeRoy Locke (b. 1885 – d. 1954) was a writer/philosopher credited as the father of the Harlem Renaissance.

Here is what she said: \"Celia's music has been the soundtrack to much of my Latina life: family cookouts, road trips, deep-house cleaning, and moments when I need an emotional tune-up. She was always around; and as I grew spiritually and politically, so did my love and admiration for Celia. Celia sang with fierce Afro-Cuban pride; she sang of her blackness and her beloved Orishas. There is a long and messy history of anti-blackness in the Latinx community, and Celia was having none of it. There is a moment in the documentary \"Soul Power\" when Celia lands in Zaire, kneels and kisses the ground. She was not allowed to return to her native Cuba for political reasons, but I think that day in Zaire she returned home in a deeper way. In 2003, I was working at Latina magazine when Celia passed.

The two collaborated on a a series of portraits of Edna Lewis, Gordon Parks and other notable individuals, which are posted on McCalman’s company Instagram under the hashtag #illustratedblackhistory. Haight initially posted stock photos and short biographies of obscure figures in black history on her Instagram, which inspired San Francisco artist McCalman to create a personal project. “I didn’t think about it again until I painted a portrait of Rosa",

My friend @isawstephen wrote this poem about Frederick Douglass and Valentines Day yesterday and I thought it was amazing! / Painting: @mccalmanco The Internet has images of hearts and sweethearts on lock today. Instead I'll use this space to embrace the greatest essayist and orator to ever grace this nation. Frederick Douglass was born a slave who did not know his birthday, so he chose Valentine's. He did not read until he was a teen. Knowledge was the pathway for slaves, he would later say. But you need feet for freedom too. \"I prayed for twenty years But received no answer until I prayed with my feet.\" Just one of the infinite number of thought provoking quotes he spoke or wrote. When I think of my words and legacy, my liberties and the things I'd like to leave behind, I find I channel him more than any other man, because of his eloquence, grit and wisdom that continue to outlive him. \"People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.\" I'm flexin my hustle muscle. When I compare my struggle, I'm absolved of my trouble, but emboldened to open doors closed – And move forward. Progress doesn't idle, I suspect my idol would utter. I don't know why he chose Valentine's Maybe because love is liberation It's worth dying for It is a relentless fight with no culmination in which freedom is not uniform and must be formed within the designs of the love you opine – It is a divine celebration. Love is strength and hope. It is your wife the seamstress on the Underground Railroad sewing your clothes like a tailor in the mold of a sailor so you can meet her on the shores of freedom's sea. Love is the opposite of isolation. It is emancipation, and I suspect that's why this birth date was picked by the great abolitionist. #HistoricPOC #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackBeauty #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter #BlackInstagram #OurHistory #EducateYourself #History #Herstory #blackhistorymonthphotochallenge #IllustratedBlackHistory\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\">A photo posted by @mccalmanco on Feb 15, 2016 at 8:07am PST\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin-left: 100px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:8px\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:62.5% 0;text-align:center;width:100%\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding:0 4px\"> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BBTT5ZAiPE-/\" style=\"color:#000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"At first I wasn't sure I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.\" – Gordon Parks, photographer, activist, humanitarian. / Painting: @mccalmanco #HistoricPOC #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackBeauty #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter #BlackInstagram #OurHistory #EducateYourself #History #blackhistorymonthphotochallenge #IllustratedBlackHistory #GordonParks\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\">A photo posted by @mccalmanco on Feb 2, 2016 at 3:07pm PST\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin-left: 100px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:8px\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:62.4537037037% 0;text-align:center;width:100%\">\n\u003cdiv style=\"base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding:0 4px\"> \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BBqzCLxCPLd/\" style=\"color:#000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alain LeRoy Locke (b. 1885 – d. 1954) was a writer/philosopher credited as the father of the Harlem Renaissance.

Here is what she said: \"Celia's music has been the soundtrack to much of my Latina life: family cookouts, road trips, deep-house cleaning, and moments when I need an emotional tune-up. She was always around; and as I grew spiritually and politically, so did my love and admiration for Celia. Celia sang with fierce Afro-Cuban pride; she sang of her blackness and her beloved Orishas. There is a long and messy history of anti-blackness in the Latinx community, and Celia was having none of it. There is a moment in the documentary \"Soul Power\" when Celia lands in Zaire, kneels and kisses the ground. She was not allowed to return to her native Cuba for political reasons, but I think that day in Zaire she returned home in a deeper way. In 2003, I was working at Latina magazine when Celia passed. I remember someone yelling the news around the office, and silence fell. We worked diligently to honor her legacy.

While there, she became invested in activism and dropped out in 1966 to become involved in the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee). She met Elridge Cleaver and became involved with the Black Panther party was in its infancy. She became the first woman involved in its central organization and among a small group of women prominent in the party. They were married in 1967. Kathleen went back to school in 1981, attending Yale University, then Yale Law School. She and Eldridge divorced in 1987. She is currently serving as a senior lecturer at Emory University School of Law. / Painting: @mccalmanco #HistoricPOC #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #BlackBeauty #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTwitter #BlackInstagram #OurHistory #EducateYourself #History #Herstory #blackhistorymonthphotochallenge #IllustratedBlackHistory\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\">A photo posted by @mccalmanco on Feb 12, 2016 at 12:38pm PST\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
