And with the Bay Area’s new shelter-in-place ordinance, even those of us who aren’t sick or caring for someone have had to adapt to a much more isolated way of life. The rapidly evolving news cycle—and the wealth of misinformation online—also contributes to the chaos. [aside postid='news_11806495']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Self-care is always important for living a healthy and fulfilling life, and in times like these, it’s even more necessary to maintain our mental health so we can show up for ourselves and others. Here are some tips.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Limit Information Intake\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Stay informed by tuning into \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806495/5-essential-coronavirus-resources-from-kqed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reliable, fact-based reporting\u003c/a>, and don’t feel like you have to read every single piece of coronavirus news. Setting limits on your screen time and turning off notifications—even for a couple of hours—can be a healthy boundary.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mindfulness is Your Friend\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Fixating too much on fears about the future can often send us on anxiety spiral, so it’s important to stay present. A simple breathing technique like box breathing (where you inhale for four seconds, pause for four seconds, exhale for four seconds and pause again for four seconds) can slow the heart rate and mitigate your body’s anxiety response. If having a panic attack, a helpful grounding technique to get out of your head and into your body uses the five senses: name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Though the coronavirus is something that’s happening right now, our fears about it are often something not happening to us [in the present moment], and mindfulness can help anchor us,” says psychologist Dr. Juli Fraga, who has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13871243/in-the-expensive-bay-area-artists-navigate-unique-mental-health-challenges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">written about mental health\u003c/a> for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The positive affirmations in guided meditations can also redirect your mood. Free apps like \u003ca href=\"https://insighttimer.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Insight Timer\u003c/a> provide guided meditations tailored to specific themes—and they can be as short as two minutes for those who don’t have a lot of time or aren’t experienced meditators. There’s also a wealth of free guided mediations on YouTube, as well as yoga nidra meditations—which are great for insomnia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People worried about their families or loved ones might use something known as the loving kindness meditation,” says Fraga. “It’s used to direct loving kindness towards someone you care about, yourself or the universe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Don’t Forget to Move Your Body\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under “shelter in place,” gyms are closed—and an enclosed space where people are sweating and breathing heavily isn’t where you’d want to be right now anyway. But getting up and off your phone or computer is crucial to wellbeing. If you’re not sick or experiencing respiratory symptoms, take walks, runs, hikes or bike rides outside while maintaining a distance of at least six feet between yourself and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And once again, take advantage of YouTube as a free resource. It has thousands of videos of yoga, pilates, strength training and HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes to help boost your mood, improve posture and connect with yourself. The website \u003ca href=\"https://www.doyogawithme.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DoYogaWithMe\u003c/a>, which has free classes in many different kinds of yoga styles, is also excellent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876650\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13876650 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/action-adult-affection-eldery-339620-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A younger person places their hand on an elderly person's hand.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/action-adult-affection-eldery-339620-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/action-adult-affection-eldery-339620-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/action-adult-affection-eldery-339620-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/action-adult-affection-eldery-339620-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/action-adult-affection-eldery-339620.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Social distancing may be especially isolating for caregivers, so reaching out to broader social networks may be a way to help cope with feelings of loneliness. \u003ccite>(Matthias Zomer)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Lean on Support Networks—Especially If You Are a Caregiver\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The need for community is an essential part of being human, but what do we do if getting together is no longer an option?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who are sick or caring for a loved one face even greater challenges when it comes to isolation. Fraga recommends reaching out to our broader support networks. That friend, neighbor, relative or coworker who told you to call if you ever need anything? It may be the time to take them up on that—even if you just need someone to talk to over FaceTime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re used to always caring for others, remind yourself that “it’s fine to be the receiver of something,” says Fraga. [aside postid='arts_13876622']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all can combat loneliness by scheduling calls with loved ones, and checking in with our elderly family members and neighbors. And if you’re cooped up at home with too many people, a house meeting to find out when people plan to be out for walks so you can get alone time can help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for parents with kids home from school? “That’s another call for community outreach,” Fraga says, adding that they should look to their school communities for support—for example, videoconferencing while doing homework.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Change Up Your Routine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>With most workplaces and schools closed for weeks, doing small, simple things to change your routine can help break up the humdrum of the day-to-day. Take a different route when going on a walk; wear something funky; put on a different playlist; go about your chores in a different order; try a new craft, book or exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more we do something, it loses its luster,” says Fraga.

There’s also a wealth of free guided mediations on YouTube, as well as yoga nidra meditations—which are great for insomnia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People worried about their families or loved ones might use something known as the loving kindness meditation,” says Fraga. “It’s used to direct loving kindness towards someone you care about, yourself or the universe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Don’t Forget to Move Your Body\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under “shelter in place,” gyms are closed—and an enclosed space where people are sweating and breathing heavily isn’t where you’d want to be right now anyway. But getting up and off your phone or computer is crucial to wellbeing. If you’re not sick or experiencing respiratory symptoms, take walks, runs, hikes or bike rides outside while maintaining a distance of at least six feet between yourself and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And once again, take advantage of YouTube as a free resource. It has thousands of videos of yoga, pilates, strength training and HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes to help boost your mood, improve posture and connect with yourself.

The music industry in particular is poorly equipped to handle the pandemic. Over the years, its profit model has shifted from selling records to touring. Most performers work for themselves and aren’t entitled to benefits such as sick leave.

And even then, he says, “It’s cool pocket money, but not enough to make up for what I’m missing out on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are told as artists, ‘Yeah, you don’t make money on streams, you don’t make money on selling records, but you will make money on tour,’” says singer-songwriter \u003ca href=\"https://madelinekenney.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madeline Kenney\u003c/a>, whose upcoming tour plans hang in the air as she deliberates next steps with her team. “Unless you’re on a certain level, it’s just not true. I’ve been touring for four years, and I break even if I’m lucky. So when you take away that one chance you have to not only make a little money on your merch, but mostly to get out in front of people and hopefully start playing bigger rooms and spread the word, [it’s] a huge opportunity cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And musicians aren’t the only ones affected—all realms of the live event industry are suffering. Robbie Kowal, the CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.hushconcerts.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HUSH Concerts\u003c/a>, which puts on over 1,000 silent disco events at private parties, conferences and music festivals a year, has seen a dramatic drop in business. [aside postid='science_1957877']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have no events, so there’s no industry. It’s tough, really tough,” he says, adding that he’s already lost his projected monthly gross. “We had a little bit of a cushion, and that’s enabled us to make sure our people can get paid through right now. But I also told everybody that they need to brace for the inevitable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kowal laments that gatherings and celebrations are not an option for people looking for community amid this stressful climate, and says he’s exploring options for live-streamed events. “During 9/11 and the financial crisis, we were the solution for people—events and concerts and fun,” he says. “Whereas today, this is almost turned on its head. You can’t go to the event to make yourself feel better. If anything, people are looking at events as the risk factor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to artists and event presenters, designers, photographers and other content producers tied to the music industry are losing out, too. “Even with clients we do have, people have been understandably concerned about their well-being,” says Nick Francis, founder of \u003ca href=\"https://picture.fish/artdesign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Picture of a Fish\u003c/a> creative agency, which works with Earl Sweatshirt, the Oakland Symphony, Fantastic Negrito and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876400\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876400\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869-800x1184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1184\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869-160x237.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869-768x1137.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Event photographer Amina El Kabbany (right) makes a living shooting live events. She says that since the coronavirus outbreak, she’s lost nearly 80% of her monthly income. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Vigil)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He’s had numerous client meetings canceled and projects fall through, including a large film production. “As talent, it’s hard to know what you can spend your money and resources on if we don’t know what’s going to be happening in next couple of months,” Francis explains. “Does it make sense to have merch designed and printed if you don’t know if you’re gonna be doing shows the next three months?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a tape that I’m supposed to be dropping in a couple months, it’s the time to get as much content as I could,” says singer \u003ca href=\"https://music.apple.com/us/album/real/1485061757\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amen\u003c/a>, who has lost shows and nannying jobs because of the pandemic. Photographers have canceled on her for shoots, too. “People aren’t trying to come out to work because it is that serious.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Event photographer Amina El Kabbany’s business has also taken a hit. This week, her presentation at Adobe was canceled because the company instated a work-from-home policy due to coronavirus. A concert photography job for Red Bull was also delayed, costing her an estimated 80% of her monthly income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to recoup that, but in a time like this people are going to be tight with their money,” she says, adding she hopes to redirect her social media followers to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.etsy.com/shop/caffeinistshop?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=588476248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Etsy shop\u003c/a> of photo prints and to her \u003ca href=\"http://www.aminaelkabbany.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portrait services\u003c/a>. “I’m trying to grapple with how I’m going to make a living during this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the economic challenges, the health risks of coronavirus aren’t lost on artists. Some, like rapper \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/firstnameian/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ian Kelly\u003c/a>, have had to change some of their practices to ensure they don’t accidentally catch—or transmit—the respiratory infection. He’s stopped driving for Lyft—his usual side gig—to avoid potentially sick passengers. And some of his musical collaborators have canceled studio sessions as a safety measure. [aside postid='news_11806105']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to rapping on the mic, a lot of us are bringing those Lysol wipes for when we’re done—just making sure we follow those precautions,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kenney, not transmitting the virus is top of mind. The bigger picture, she says, is that there are people in the music scene who have immune disorders and other underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable. Canceling shows may be the price of keeping them safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As young people we have the ability to fight off the virus,” she says. “Maybe we shouldn’t be endangering people who may possibly not be able to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPWqFwGFKMr24A7lxqkFlMbZ6gbufi7bB9Y6DtGO20xaxOYQ/viewform?embedded=true\" width=\"800\" height=\"2000\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s tough, really tough,” he says, adding that he’s already lost his projected monthly gross. “We had a little bit of a cushion, and that’s enabled us to make sure our people can get paid through right now. But I also told everybody that they need to brace for the inevitable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kowal laments that gatherings and celebrations are not an option for people looking for community amid this stressful climate, and says he’s exploring options for live-streamed events. “During 9/11 and the financial crisis, we were the solution for people—events and concerts and fun,” he says. “Whereas today, this is almost turned on its head. You can’t go to the event to make yourself feel better. If anything, people are looking at events as the risk factor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to artists and event presenters, designers, photographers and other content producers tied to the music industry are losing out, too. “Even with clients we do have, people have been understandably concerned about their well-being,” says Nick Francis, founder of \u003ca href=\"https://picture.fish/artdesign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Picture of a Fish\u003c/a> creative agency, which works with Earl Sweatshirt, the Oakland Symphony, Fantastic Negrito and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876400\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876400\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869-800x1184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1184\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869-160x237.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/IMG_9869-768x1137.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Event photographer Amina El Kabbany (right) makes a living shooting live events.

Photographers have canceled on her for shoots, too. “People aren’t trying to come out to work because it is that serious.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Event photographer Amina El Kabbany’s business has also taken a hit. This week, her presentation at Adobe was canceled because the company instated a work-from-home policy due to coronavirus. A concert photography job for Red Bull was also delayed, costing her an estimated 80% of her monthly income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to recoup that, but in a time like this people are going to be tight with their money,” she says, adding she hopes to redirect her social media followers to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.etsy.com/shop/caffeinistshop?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=588476248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Etsy shop\u003c/a> of photo prints and to her \u003ca href=\"http://www.aminaelkabbany.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portrait services\u003c/a>. “I’m trying to grapple with how I’m going to make a living during this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the economic challenges, the health risks of coronavirus aren’t lost on artists. Some, like rapper \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/firstnameian/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ian Kelly\u003c/a>, have had to change some of their practices to ensure they don’t accidentally catch—or transmit—the respiratory infection.

It’s a site where trichloroethylene (TCE), a cancer-causing chemical, was found in the groundwater late last month. And after two and a half weeks away from campus, it’s where students are scheduled to return to next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-13833985\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_-160x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_-160x184.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to TCE, the school is surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped freeway structure, thousands of shipping trucks and underground storage tanks– a number of them have resulted in documented leaks. That’s because West Oakland was an industrial bastion for the greater part of the 20th century. Numerous factories, plants and warehouses have sullied its soil. (The city’s only known EPA Superfund Site—a cleanup priority for the EPA— is \u003ca href=\"https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0905334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMCO Chemical\u003c/a> in West Oakland.) \u003ca href=\"http://acphd.org/media/496252/air-pollution-health-impacts-west-oakland-acphd-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It’s home\u003c/a> to Alameda County’s highest levels of asthma and lowest life expectancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And who lives in West Oakland? During the decades of rampant redlining, it was one of the few places in the Bay Area African Americans could freely move into. That’s why McClymonds, historically, is a predominantly African American school. It’s also known for its legendary alums (Bill Russell and Frank Robinson, to name a few) and honored for its football team recently winning the state championship \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/McClymonds-is-a-state-football-champion-for-3rd-13469769.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three times in a row\u003c/a>. It’s a pillar of the community, and even with the changing demographics in the neighborhood due to gentrification, the school’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.publicschoolreview.com/mcclymonds-high-school-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported population\u003c/a> of 372 students is still 80% African American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the coverage of McClymonds’ closure has centered on input from adults: elected officials, parents and school administrators. But what’s it like to be a student, in a literally toxic environment?

A few minutes later, a handful of students from McClymonds trickled in, followed by a teacher, Mr. Taylor (not to be confused with the McClymonds principal, Jeffrey Taylor, who was also present, as well as Oakland Unified School District Administrator Vanessa Sifuentes-Dimaano).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the circle at Bunche, where McClymonds students were temporarily relocated, was to give young folks an opportunity to discuss how they’re processing the news that a potentially harmful chemical was discovered under their school just weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The door closed and the students sat in a circle around a few items: an old sidekick two-way, a brick cellphone, the \u003cem>Tupac Shakur Legacy\u003c/em> book by Jamal Joseph, and the talking piece: a miniature statue of people in a rowboat. After some warm-up questions, Ms. Saba asked, “What was running through your mind and what were you feeling when you first heard a hazardous chemical was found at McClymonds?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be honest, I just kinda seen it as no school for us last week,” said a ninth grader named Christopher as he let out a slight laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles, a 10th grader, brought up Ramone Sanders, a McClymonds alumnus who was diagnosed with cancer at 19 years old in 2019. “It was kind of like, wow, that could have really been responsible for his death,” he said. “And they could shut down the whole school because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876187\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8548-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Dwayne, a senior at McClymonds stands in the hallway at Ralph J.

Was that going to affect my graduation?” asked a 12th grader named Neyionna. “The TCE, how long has it really been there?… I’m just saying, Mack just needs to be rebuilt, I think, because where Mack is, is an industrial area: the factories, the gas stations… And it’s all black [people], so yeah, I think that’s kinda racist,” she concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A senior named Dwayne pointed out that news of contamination affected his and other students’ mental health. “I have something called generalized anxiety disorder. It gets triggered by events like this,” he said. “I’m a hypochondriac as well. So, I was like, ‘I definitely have cancer.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He shared that he’s angry and confused, and that his trust in the adults in charge has been shaken. “If McClymonds were to burn down that day, what would be the plan OUSD would implement for all of this?” he asked. “Is there a plan in place for a natural disaster? It just seems like it took a little too long for us to have a plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashely, another senior, said, “It’s really stressful … It’s like: Oh, my god, again? We have ANOTHER issue at McClymonds? It’s just irritating, I don’t want to go through it.” She said moving campuses, dealing with this and ‘senior-itis’ is a lot. “I just want to give up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My initial reaction was to do my research so I don’t make any wrong assumptions about what’s going on,” said Themba, a senior who wants to go to college to become a chemical engineer. “Let me figure out what’s going on, what’s TCE; I don’t want to just hear ‘it’s cancer.’ Let me figure out what it does, what’s the chemical?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his knack for information gathering, Themba said he didn’t attend any of the community meetings held after the discovery of the chemical “because I knew it was going to be hectic, I knew it was going loud,” he said, adding that he questioned people’s intentions: “Who are you really fighting for? Where do you stand? … Are you really here for the kids who want to learn?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ms. Saba received the talking piece from Themba and said, “This is not just about McClymonds, this is about something bigger than McClymonds. This is about years of environmental waste that’s impacting a specific community, when I say years, I’m talking about 30 to 40 years of history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cem>Longer even\u003c/em>, I thought to myself.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876189\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876189\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher and the talking piece, Seraiah sitting behind him\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher and the talking piece, Seraiah sitting behind him \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, a noise outside the door interrupted the discussion. \u003cem>I’m about to slap these little girls in the face, so somebody better go get them right now\u003c/em>, said an adult’s voice from the hallway. \u003cem>Where is the principal? … I’m not dealing with this anymore.

It’s a site where trichloroethylene (TCE), a cancer-causing chemical, was found in the groundwater late last month. And after two and a half weeks away from campus, it’s where students are scheduled to return to next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-13833985\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_-160x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_-160x184.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/OGPenn.Cap_.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to TCE, the school is surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped freeway structure, thousands of shipping trucks and underground storage tanks– a number of them have resulted in documented leaks. That’s because West Oakland was an industrial bastion for the greater part of the 20th century. Numerous factories, plants and warehouses have sullied its soil. (The city’s only known EPA Superfund Site—a cleanup priority for the EPA— is \u003ca href=\"https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0905334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AMCO Chemical\u003c/a> in West Oakland.) \u003ca href=\"http://acphd.org/media/496252/air-pollution-health-impacts-west-oakland-acphd-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It’s home\u003c/a> to Alameda County’s highest levels of asthma and lowest life expectancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And who lives in West Oakland? During the decades of rampant redlining, it was one of the few places in the Bay Area African Americans could freely move into. That’s why McClymonds, historically, is a predominantly African American school. It’s also known for its legendary alums (Bill Russell and Frank Robinson, to name a few) and honored for its football team recently winning the state championship \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/McClymonds-is-a-state-football-champion-for-3rd-13469769.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three times in a row\u003c/a>. It’s a pillar of the community, and even with the changing demographics in the neighborhood due to gentrification, the school’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.publicschoolreview.com/mcclymonds-high-school-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported population\u003c/a> of 372 students is still 80% African American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the coverage of McClymonds’ closure has centered on input from adults: elected officials, parents and school administrators. But what’s it like to be a student, in a literally toxic environment? I wanted to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876186\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876186\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8532-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Shoes and Shakur.

A few minutes later, a handful of students from McClymonds trickled in, followed by a teacher, Mr. Taylor (not to be confused with the McClymonds principal, Jeffrey Taylor, who was also present, as well as Oakland Unified School District Administrator Vanessa Sifuentes-Dimaano).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the circle at Bunche, where McClymonds students were temporarily relocated, was to give young folks an opportunity to discuss how they’re processing the news that a potentially harmful chemical was discovered under their school just weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The door closed and the students sat in a circle around a few items: an old sidekick two-way, a brick cellphone, the \u003cem>Tupac Shakur Legacy\u003c/em> book by Jamal Joseph, and the talking piece: a miniature statue of people in a rowboat. After some warm-up questions, Ms. Saba asked, “What was running through your mind and what were you feeling when you first heard a hazardous chemical was found at McClymonds?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be honest, I just kinda seen it as no school for us last week,” said a ninth grader named Christopher as he let out a slight laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles, a 10th grader, brought up Ramone Sanders, a McClymonds alumnus who was diagnosed with cancer at 19 years old in 2019. “It was kind of like, wow, that could have really been responsible for his death,” he said. “And they could shut down the whole school because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876187\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8548-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Dwayne, a senior at McClymonds stands in the hallway at Ralph J.

Bunche Academy in West Oakland \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Other students brought up concerns about how missing class could impact their academic success. “Was that going to affect my credits? Was that going to affect my graduation?” asked a 12th grader named Neyionna. “The TCE, how long has it really been there?… I’m just saying, Mack just needs to be rebuilt, I think, because where Mack is, is an industrial area: the factories, the gas stations… And it’s all black [people], so yeah, I think that’s kinda racist,” she concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A senior named Dwayne pointed out that news of contamination affected his and other students’ mental health. “I have something called generalized anxiety disorder. It gets triggered by events like this,” he said. “I’m a hypochondriac as well. So, I was like, ‘I definitely have cancer.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He shared that he’s angry and confused, and that his trust in the adults in charge has been shaken. “If McClymonds were to burn down that day, what would be the plan OUSD would implement for all of this?” he asked. “Is there a plan in place for a natural disaster? It just seems like it took a little too long for us to have a plan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashely, another senior, said, “It’s really stressful … It’s like: Oh, my god, again? We have ANOTHER issue at McClymonds? It’s just irritating, I don’t want to go through it.” She said moving campuses, dealing with this and ‘senior-itis’ is a lot. “I just want to give up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My initial reaction was to do my research so I don’t make any wrong assumptions about what’s going on,” said Themba, a senior who wants to go to college to become a chemical engineer. “Let me figure out what’s going on, what’s TCE; I don’t want to just hear ‘it’s cancer.’ Let me figure out what it does, what’s the chemical?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his knack for information gathering, Themba said he didn’t attend any of the community meetings held after the discovery of the chemical “because I knew it was going to be hectic, I knew it was going loud,” he said, adding that he questioned people’s intentions: “Who are you really fighting for? Where do you stand? … Are you really here for the kids who want to learn?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ms. Saba received the talking piece from Themba and said, “This is not just about McClymonds, this is about something bigger than McClymonds. This is about years of environmental waste that’s impacting a specific community, when I say years, I’m talking about 30 to 40 years of history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cem>Longer even\u003c/em>, I thought to myself.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876189\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13876189\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Christopher and the talking piece, Seraiah sitting behind him\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/DSC8531.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher and the talking piece, Seraiah sitting behind him \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, a noise outside the door interrupted the discussion. \u003cem>I’m about to slap these little girls in the face, so somebody better go get them right now\u003c/em>, said an adult’s voice from the hallway. \u003cem>Where is the principal? … I’m not dealing with this anymore. I done had every emotion this week, and they want to come in here being disrespectful…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearly, tensions were high, and even the adults were on edge. Our circle sat quietly as the voice outside passed by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Principal Taylor briefly stepped out to address the noise, while Ms. Saba broke the silence. “I don’t want ya’ll to get distracted, I want ya’ll to focus on what ya’ll want to share and what’s important to ya’ll. We have one more question before we close out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She instructed everyone to take a deep breath. “What do you think needs to be done to make things as right as possible? And what do you need? What do you personally need from your principal and from yourself and from your peers?” asked Ms. Saba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
