One of his top talents is his ability to take his lifestyle and make a living off of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, a series of Apple billboards promoting their “Hometown” campaign sprung up all around the Bay Area, featuring the silhouetted images of two bikers hitting wheelies. Those bikers are Jones and his good friend from North Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/almighty__gioo/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Almighty Gio.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CL94_HRDH78/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I saw as a major tech company leveraging culture to earn cool points, Jones sees as a platform benefiting the culture he represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there’s room for both to be true, Jones points out something that I overlooked: we breed hustlers in this region, so he’ll figure out a way to make it work in his favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, Jones is working to expand opportunities to a younger generation of East Bay bikers, setting them up with brands and employment opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tune in for the second entry on the intersection of wheels, community, and culture as Jones and I discuss biking, billboards, and being a community “big bro.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Below are lightly edited excerpts of my conversation with Omar Jones.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: So one of the bike groups you ride with and photograph is ABC– who are they?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: So ABC is a bike club in the Bay Area and every Wednesday we meet at King Kog in Oakland. And it just grew, 10 people at first, riding through COVID… Now we have like 150 to 200 riders, 250 riders. It pretty much grew into a big community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What’s it like riding with that pack?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s cool. A lot of people that we’re riding with, we know how to ride with each other. So that’s cool. But, the newer [riders], it’s kind of harder because they don’t really know how we ride. It’s not like they get in a way, but you gotta be cautious of your area because sometimes people crash. I mean, that’s going to happen with a big crowd of people moving through the streets. But we usually keep it very safe and super fun. We go like 10 miles every time with like 200 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: There’s benefits to riding in groups, it’s fun being in that big pack of people and shutting down traffic, but it’s also dangerous, one slip up, people fall like dominoes.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: If somebody does crash, the whole pack stops and we just make sure everybody is good. That’s what’s cool, it’s like a real community, it’s not like we just keep going and leave people. Nah, everybody stops. We got people in our club that do the bike stuff and just to fix it real quick and just keep going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: ABC, what does it stand for?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: Another Bike Club, and the slogan is “Fun Is Serious Business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: That’s just one of the collectives that you’re biking with, what’s another group?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s called GoersGo. It’s a bunch of kids that I’m helping. That’s been a huge impact because it’s kids ages 12 to 18. I’ve just been kind of like impacting their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: For them to be able to tag along with me and just see how I move… I didn’t have a person like me at that age, so I know it’s an important time for them… I tell them all the time too, ‘I’m not going to always be here. I’m not going to always be able to be around you… That’s why I built this for you, you guys gotta support each other as a team.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: Whatever money comes to them is 100% theirs. I just have the resources to be able to put them in those positions, like having a photographer friend that happened to be doing an Apple campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: How does it feel to be a mentor?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: I’ve never been called a mentor. It’s like a Big Brother thing. I don’t see it like anything other than that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: So you’re deeply immersed in the culture of wheels and biking… And i’m wondering what are some of the other positive effects of biking culture?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s just amazing to see all these kids riding these bikes, it’s good to see them off their phones, outside enjoying the weather because if they didn’t have the bikes, the streets is going to eat them up alive. I can’t even lie about that. I grew up around all that… This summer is gonna be why the murder rate is not as big, because kids are going to be out on their bikes, that’s how I feel…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Woah, you look at biking as a deterrent to violence?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s worked in the past, ya know. I’ve seen Scraper Bikes, what they’ve done. It keeps me out of the street. And the kids around me, it keeps them outta the streets, that’s basically where I can see it going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Alright, so the first time you saw the billboard with you and Gio hittin’ wheelies, how’d ya feel?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: The first time I saw it, I was like, damn, this is like incredible. Like to have the brand partner, that’s like, I wouldn’t say legendary, but people give me that status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9X-t9sCEQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Is there a negative side to being paired with Apple? Like I’ve heard people be like ‘oh, you might compromise culture’, is there anything negative?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: I’m an opportunity person, not an opportunist… I understand what I’m doing. I understand my purpose. I understand my vision. I understand who I need to align myself with. I understand all that so… Whatever people will say, that’s their opinion. But for me as a businessperson, that’s good business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: I mean, our culture is [always] going to be compromised in some way. Like, we don’t necessarily control everything. We don’t necessarily have like an ESPN that’s owned by Black people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: I’ve, uh, related to that, but a lil different, I’ve been in conversations lately about how many images there are mounted of Black people in Oakland and how it seems like there’s more images of Black folks on buildings in Oakland as there’s an exodus of Black folks out of Oakland. And I’m wondering how you feel about that?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: I’ve grown up seeing the gentrification like. I wish I knew the market value of everything before everything kind of hit. But I also don’t think it’s too late either, because at the same time, I did get an Apple opportunity. So it’s like OK they’re in our backyard and now, they’re knocking on our door. So it may be a chance for us to have those opportunities… We’re the land of the hustlers, so we’re going to survive either way!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

And it just grew, 10 people at first, riding through COVID… Now we have like 150 to 200 riders, 250 riders. It pretty much grew into a big community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What’s it like riding with that pack?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s cool. A lot of people that we’re riding with, we know how to ride with each other. So that’s cool. But, the newer [riders], it’s kind of harder because they don’t really know how we ride. It’s not like they get in a way, but you gotta be cautious of your area because sometimes people crash. I mean, that’s going to happen with a big crowd of people moving through the streets. But we usually keep it very safe and super fun. We go like 10 miles every time with like 200 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: There’s benefits to riding in groups, it’s fun being in that big pack of people and shutting down traffic, but it’s also dangerous, one slip up, people fall like dominoes.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: If somebody does crash, the whole pack stops and we just make sure everybody is good. That’s what’s cool, it’s like a real community, it’s not like we just keep going and leave people. Nah, everybody stops. We got people in our club that do the bike stuff and just to fix it real quick and just keep going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: ABC, what does it stand for?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: Another Bike Club, and the slogan is “Fun Is Serious Business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: That’s just one of the collectives that you’re biking with, what’s another group?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s called GoersGo. It’s a bunch of kids that I’m helping. That’s been a huge impact because it’s kids ages 12 to 18. I’ve just been kind of like impacting their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: For them to be able to tag along with me and just see how I move… I didn’t have a person like me at that age, so I know it’s an important time for them… I tell them all the time too, ‘I’m not going to always be here. I’m not going to always be able to be around you… That’s why I built this for you, you guys gotta support each other as a team.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: Whatever money comes to them is 100% theirs. I just have the resources to be able to put them in those positions, like having a photographer friend that happened to be doing an Apple campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: How does it feel to be a mentor?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: I’ve never been called a mentor. It’s like a Big Brother thing. I don’t see it like anything other than that…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: So you’re deeply immersed in the culture of wheels and biking… And i’m wondering what are some of the other positive effects of biking culture?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s just amazing to see all these kids riding these bikes, it’s good to see them off their phones, outside enjoying the weather because if they didn’t have the bikes, the streets is going to eat them up alive. I can’t even lie about that. I grew up around all that… This summer is gonna be why the murder rate is not as big, because kids are going to be out on their bikes, that’s how I feel…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Woah, you look at biking as a deterrent to violence?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: It’s worked in the past, ya know. I’ve seen Scraper Bikes, what they’ve done. It keeps me out of the street. And the kids around me, it keeps them outta the streets, that’s basically where I can see it going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Alright, so the first time you saw the billboard with you and Gio hittin’ wheelies, how’d ya feel?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omar: The first time I saw it, I was like, damn, this is like incredible.

"content": "\u003cp>Roberto Bedoya, the city of Oakland’s cultural affairs manager, is one of two recipients of the 2021 Berresford Prize, an annual award administered by the national arts funding organization \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitedstatesartists.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">United States Artists\u003c/a>. Bedoya and Lulani Arquette, president and CEO of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nativeartsandcultures.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Native Arts and Cultures Foundation\u003c/a>, based in Portland, Oregon, will each receive $25,000. The unrestricted prize, today’s announcement says, is given to cultural practitioners who have made significant contributions to the “advancement, wellbeing and care of artists in society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a phone interview, Bedoya described himself as “humbled and thrilled,” saying that though he knew of the prize’s existence, receiving it was a complete surprise. Bedoya and Arquette were selected from a pool of about 50 nominees across the country; there is no application process for the award. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the announcement, United States Artists noted that Bedoya and Arquette’s “visionary approaches engender cooperation, promote thoughtful civic engagement, and advocate for artists on a local and national level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize, named for United States Artists co-founder Susan V. Berresford, was created in 2019 to acknowledge those who labor mostly behind the scenes in the support of the arts such as administrators, curators and scholars: those creating the platforms and conditions that allow artists to successfully pursue their work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous recipients include Kristy Edmunds, executive and artistic director of UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance, and Linda Good Bryant, a social activist, gallerist, filmmaker and founder of Active Citizen Project and Project EATS. This is the first time the prize has recognized two people in the same year, which United States Artists says comes from “an ethos of abundance and sharing”—a way of acknowledging the challenges and financial strains facing the arts sector over the past year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s thoughtful for a foundation supporting artists to think about what kind of support system they have,” Bedoya says of the Berresford Prize. Using a theater analogy to describe his own role, Bedoya says, “There’s nothing glamorous about being the stage manager or the house manager, but they’re incredibly important to the production.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>United States Artists is perhaps best known for their fellowships, which award individual artists and collaboratives unrestricted grants of $50,000 each year. To date, the fellowship program has distributed over $33 million to more than 700 artists. Earlier this year, they helped administer the Rainin Foundation’s new fellowship program, which awarded \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13894782/rainin-fellowship-awards-100000-grants-to-four-bay-area-artists\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">unrestricted grants of $100,000\u003c/a> to four Bay Area artists and collaboratives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13827589']As Oakland’s cultural affairs manager, Bedoya unveiled a cultural plan titled “\u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Cultural-Plan-9.24-online.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Belonging in Oakland\u003c/a>” in the spring of 2018—the city’s first cultural plan in 30 years. Prior to this role, Bedoya was the executive director of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, where he developed an initiative called P.L.A.C.E (People, Land, Arts, Culture and Engagement), a project rooted in art-based civic engagement. From 1996 to 2001, he was executive director of the National Association of Artists’ Organizations, which supported artist-run alternative art spaces and initiatives.

Bedoya and Lulani Arquette, president and CEO of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nativeartsandcultures.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Native Arts and Cultures Foundation\u003c/a>, based in Portland, Oregon, will each receive $25,000. The unrestricted prize, today’s announcement says, is given to cultural practitioners who have made significant contributions to the “advancement, wellbeing and care of artists in society.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a phone interview, Bedoya described himself as “humbled and thrilled,” saying that though he knew of the prize’s existence, receiving it was a complete surprise. Bedoya and Arquette were selected from a pool of about 50 nominees across the country; there is no application process for the award. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the announcement, United States Artists noted that Bedoya and Arquette’s “visionary approaches engender cooperation, promote thoughtful civic engagement, and advocate for artists on a local and national level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize, named for United States Artists co-founder Susan V. Berresford, was created in 2019 to acknowledge those who labor mostly behind the scenes in the support of the arts such as administrators, curators and scholars: those creating the platforms and conditions that allow artists to successfully pursue their work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous recipients include Kristy Edmunds, executive and artistic director of UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance, and Linda Good Bryant, a social activist, gallerist, filmmaker and founder of Active Citizen Project and Project EATS. This is the first time the prize has recognized two people in the same year, which United States Artists says comes from “an ethos of abundance and sharing”—a way of acknowledging the challenges and financial strains facing the arts sector over the past year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Using a theater analogy to describe his own role, Bedoya says, “There’s nothing glamorous about being the stage manager or the house manager, but they’re incredibly important to the production.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>United States Artists is perhaps best known for their fellowships, which award individual artists and collaboratives unrestricted grants of $50,000 each year. To date, the fellowship program has distributed over $33 million to more than 700 artists. Earlier this year, they helped administer the Rainin Foundation’s new fellowship program, which awarded \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13894782/rainin-fellowship-awards-100000-grants-to-four-bay-area-artists\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">unrestricted grants of $100,000\u003c/a> to four Bay Area artists and collaboratives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The granddaughter of the founder of \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/flintsbarbecue/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flint’s Barbecue\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, an \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13894423/flints-an-icon-of-oakland-barbecue-plots-return-to-original-location\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">iconic restaurant in the annals of Oakland barbecue\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, had been working to resurrect the family business—in one of the original Flint’s locations, on San Pablo Avenue in West Oakland, no less.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, Martin says she’s one step closer to achieving her goal, though perhaps not in the way she expected: This summer, Martin will open Flint’s as a takeout- and delivery-only restaurant that will be part of a new \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cloudkitchens.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CloudKitchens\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ghost kitchen facility located in a big warehouse at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.loopnet.com/portfolio-property/5325-5333-Adeline-St-Emeryville-CA/5971289/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">5325 Adeline Street\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, at the border of North Oakland and Emeryville. She just signed the lease this week.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The upshot is that, for the first time in more than a decade, customers both old and new will be able to get a hold of Flint’s Barbecue’s famous coarse-ground links, ribs and barbecue sauce on a regular basis. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUOjEcsNSJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The decision comes, in part, because Martin wasn’t able to secure the old San Pablo Avenue space after all. Her original plan was an ambitious one: The original Flint’s building has sat empty since the late ’90s, and its prospective buyer had told Martin that it needed upwards of $40,000 in construction work before she’d be able to move in. But then it seems the buyer had a change of heart, and now, Martin says, someone \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">else\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is buying the building—someone who has other plans for the space. [aside postID='arts_13894423' \u003ci>label=\u003c/i>'More on Flint’s']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was a disappointment, Martin concedes. But she’d also already started looking into alternatives. “Something told me to prepare a plan B,” she says. “The dream was to go back to that San Pablo location, but you know, maybe that wasn’t meant for us.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, opening in a ghost kitchen isn’t necessarily the ideal. According to Martin, the yet-unnamed Adeline Street facility will be home to 40 different businesses, each of them with their own little kitchen space in the warehouse. There won’t be any seating for customers; there won’t even be any signage for Flint’s outside of the building—the number of other restaurants sharing the space makes that unfeasible. Customers will be able to order takeout in person, but a lot of the business will be filtered through delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats. CloudKitchens, a company backed by Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick, is one of a number of so-called \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/135793/delivery-only-the-rise-of-restaurants-with-no-diners-as-apps-take-orders\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ghost kitchen, or virtual kitchen, companies\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that have expanded their operations during the pandemic—companies whose long-term impact on the restaurant industry remains \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eater.com/21540765/ghost-kitchens-virtual-restaurants-covid-19-industry-impact\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">very much an open question\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13894445\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13894445\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/flints_crystalmartin.crop_.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal Martin stands inside her Alameda commercial kitchen space during one of her Flint's pop-ups.\" width=\"640\" height=\"908\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/flints_crystalmartin.crop_.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/flints_crystalmartin.crop_-160x227.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crystal Martin at her Alameda commercial kitchen space during one of her Flint’s pop-ups. \u003ccite>(HMTWNHERO)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Oakland, CloudKitchens already runs one big ghost kitchen facility, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://oaklandfoodhall.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland Food Hall\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, in East Oakland.

When she opens in the ghost kitchen space—tentatively around July 15, Martin says—she plans to be open Thursday through Sunday to start out, and then eventually six days a week. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13894446\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13894446\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_.jpg\" alt=\"Two trays full of Flint's house-made links.\" width=\"800\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_-160x129.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_-768x620.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The coarse-ground links were one of Flint’s signature items. \u003ccite>(Flint's Barbecue)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s a good starting place,” Martin says. She won’t have to take on the risk of signing a five- or 10-year lease right out of the gate, and she’ll be able to make sure the business is profitable and sustainable before making a larger commitment. “We do hope to someday have our own brick and mortar,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Martin has raised a little over $7,000 toward opening her restaurant via a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-move-back-to-san-pablo\">GoFundMe campaign\u003c/a>—money she says she wound up using for the down payment on her \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CloudKitchens spot\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Her original plan was an ambitious one: The original Flint’s building has sat empty since the late ’90s, and its prospective buyer had told Martin that it needed upwards of $40,000 in construction work before she’d be able to move in. But then it seems the buyer had a change of heart, and now, Martin says, someone \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">else\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is buying the building—someone who has other plans for the space. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But she’d also already started looking into alternatives. “Something told me to prepare a plan B,” she says. “The dream was to go back to that San Pablo location, but you know, maybe that wasn’t meant for us.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, opening in a ghost kitchen isn’t necessarily the ideal. According to Martin, the yet-unnamed Adeline Street facility will be home to 40 different businesses, each of them with their own little kitchen space in the warehouse. There won’t be any seating for customers; there won’t even be any signage for Flint’s outside of the building—the number of other restaurants sharing the space makes that unfeasible. Customers will be able to order takeout in person, but a lot of the business will be filtered through delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats. CloudKitchens, a company backed by Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick, is one of a number of so-called \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/135793/delivery-only-the-rise-of-restaurants-with-no-diners-as-apps-take-orders\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ghost kitchen, or virtual kitchen, companies\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that have expanded their operations during the pandemic—companies whose long-term impact on the restaurant industry remains \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eater.com/21540765/ghost-kitchens-virtual-restaurants-covid-19-industry-impact\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">very much an open question\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13894445\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13894445\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/flints_crystalmartin.crop_.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal Martin stands inside her Alameda commercial kitchen space during one of her Flint's pop-ups.\" width=\"640\" height=\"908\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/flints_crystalmartin.crop_.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/flints_crystalmartin.crop_-160x227.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crystal Martin at her Alameda commercial kitchen space during one of her Flint’s pop-ups. \u003ccite>(HMTWNHERO)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Oakland, CloudKitchens already runs one big ghost kitchen facility, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://oaklandfoodhall.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland Food Hall\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, in East Oakland. It has yet to formally announce the North Oakland/Emeryville project, though Martin says her understanding is that construction is well under way. (KQED reached out to CloudKitchens to confirm the details of the new ghost kitchen, but had not received a response at time of publication.)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nevertheless, Martin is excited about the prospect of being able to finally turn the new Flint’s into a full-fledged business after spending the past year only selling her barbecue once every few months. When she opens in the ghost kitchen space—tentatively around July 15, Martin says—she plans to be open Thursday through Sunday to start out, and then eventually six days a week. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13894446\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13894446\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_.jpg\" alt=\"Two trays full of Flint's house-made links.\" width=\"800\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_-160x129.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/FlintSlinks.Crop_-768x620.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The coarse-ground links were one of Flint’s signature items. \u003ccite>(Flint's Barbecue)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s a good starting place,” Martin says. She won’t have to take on the risk of signing a five- or 10-year lease right out of the gate, and she’ll be able to make sure the business is profitable and sustainable before making a larger commitment. “We do hope to someday have our own brick and mortar,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Martin has raised a little over $7,000 toward opening her restaurant via a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-move-back-to-san-pablo\">GoFundMe campaign\u003c/a>—money she says she wound up using for the down payment on her \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CloudKitchens spot\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. She’s hoping supporters of the restaurant will still consider chipping in: She still needs to buy about $15,000 worth of equipment, including a new indoor smoker, before she can open for business.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hasta Muerte also received a letter from the president of the Oakland Police Association saying the policy was “a matter of concern for all Oakland Police Officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story was covered locally and nationally; it grew to the point that they even mentioned it on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MXO7WrhiO8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The View\u003c/a>. But Hasta Muerte hasn’t officially talked to any publications about what happened until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week on Rightnowish, we discuss this East Oakland cafe’s community-based approach to safety, cops and the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Below are lightly edited excerpts of my conversation with Matt Gereghty.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: We certainly didn’t think that it would go from local nightly news, which is where it started, to Fox & Friends and making national news…. We were just like, this is blown out of proportion, this happens in cities everywhere all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: There’s plenty of people doing work around this. We’re just doing what we do from where we’re at. And so we agreed we’re not going to talk to media at all about this, ‘cuz we know that there’s a whole PR machine that’s mostly built for these institutions and promotes the work of the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: How did it feel when it hit the news?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: It was definitely a mix of feelings because we had already begun to receive some flack. We had started to receive Facebook messages saying, ‘…this is a shameful thing’ and like, ‘This is a Latino officer. You should have respect for Latino officers.’ And we’re just like, no, that’s not how it really works, though…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: We were a new business – Latinx, POC, co-op kind of a ragtag crew – we just wanted to maintain our business and keep pushing… We had some fun with it too…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: Our phone started blowing up with reporters calling and we decided we weren’t going to talk to them. We wore bandanas in the shop so they couldn’t take our photos. We kept the blinds drawn. And I remember the first reporter, I think, from NBC, she was waiting at the door before we opened and she came in and I had put on Zenyatta Mondatta, The Police album, my favorite one, so that when she asked me about the police, I could say we love The Police, we have all their albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What’s happened since then?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: We like to say that for every customer lost, which maybe was a handful, three times that number came in as supporters. So we’ve been able to hone in on who our community is because they can see what we’re about… It wasn’t our intention to grandstand. It was more natural… It came from who we are as people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Understood, why talk to me now?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: Now, 3 years later, the escalations of last summer, both in terms of police killings and violence, white supremacism coming to the surface, people are like, ‘well, if you’re not going to call the police, who you’re going to call?’ ….That’s a fine question. Let’s talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: So Matt, what are some of the strategies that you and the cafe have taken in order to ward off potential issues of violence or danger?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: So we had a de-escalation and self-defense training. That was a first step to make sure that [we could handle] neighborhood stuff, issues on the corner in a way that we feel safe about putting our bodies in the way or just clocking the situation and going from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: And safety at the cafe was put to the test… bring us into what happened.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: There was a run of laptop robberies across the Bay. I mean, there was rings that were doing this. Of course, it popped up at our shop. So we’re like, we have to do something. We built a little screen door to make a barrier for folks running out. That definitely helped, and a few times they got caught up on that. On the daily, It was good for people with small children so they wouldn’t run out to the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: And then we just talked to our neighbors… Honestly, I rolled up some joints and passed them out and chilled and just talked [with people outside] like, ‘look, you’ve been seeing this happen, right? Like, I wonder what we can do? If you guys can give us a heads up, if you see them….’ And they answered the call. They didn’t come tell us, they just stepped to those young people and we’re like, ‘hey, take it somewhere else.’ And that’s and that ended up being how it tapered off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Do you think this is an example that can be replicated in other places?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: I think with certain care. We’re talking about it now with a core group of other specifically POC and Black owned co-ops and small businesses… a little alliance so we can share ideas, stories, resources. [For example] how do you have safety without police? How do you make a living without exploiting people and also being affordable enough for your people to afford in capitalism? They’re all connected.\u003cbr>\n\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

They serve a community where people have had traumatic experiences with police officers, or live in fear due to their documentation status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind it was 2018, and President Donald Trump’s pro-police and anti-immigration rhetoric was flooding media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When people found out about the policy, it led to pro-Trump, right wing protestors waving American flags with thin blue lines \u003ca href=\"https://sf.eater.com/2018/3/19/17139302/cafe-hasta-muerte-oakland-police-deny-service-protests-right-wing-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in front of the cafe\u003c/a>. Hasta Muerte also received a letter from the president of the Oakland Police Association saying the policy was “a matter of concern for all Oakland Police Officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story was covered locally and nationally; it grew to the point that they even mentioned it on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MXO7WrhiO8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The View\u003c/a>. But Hasta Muerte hasn’t officially talked to any publications about what happened until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week on Rightnowish, we discuss this East Oakland cafe’s community-based approach to safety, cops and the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Below are lightly edited excerpts of my conversation with Matt Gereghty.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: We certainly didn’t think that it would go from local nightly news, which is where it started, to Fox & Friends and making national news…. We were just like, this is blown out of proportion, this happens in cities everywhere all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: There’s plenty of people doing work around this. We’re just doing what we do from where we’re at. And so we agreed we’re not going to talk to media at all about this, ‘cuz we know that there’s a whole PR machine that’s mostly built for these institutions and promotes the work of the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: How did it feel when it hit the news?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: It was definitely a mix of feelings because we had already begun to receive some flack. We had started to receive Facebook messages saying, ‘…this is a shameful thing’ and like, ‘This is a Latino officer. You should have respect for Latino officers.’ And we’re just like, no, that’s not how it really works, though…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: We were a new business – Latinx, POC, co-op kind of a ragtag crew – we just wanted to maintain our business and keep pushing… We had some fun with it too…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: Our phone started blowing up with reporters calling and we decided we weren’t going to talk to them. We wore bandanas in the shop so they couldn’t take our photos. We kept the blinds drawn. And I remember the first reporter, I think, from NBC, she was waiting at the door before we opened and she came in and I had put on Zenyatta Mondatta, The Police album, my favorite one, so that when she asked me about the police, I could say we love The Police, we have all their albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What’s happened since then?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: We like to say that for every customer lost, which maybe was a handful, three times that number came in as supporters. So we’ve been able to hone in on who our community is because they can see what we’re about… It wasn’t our intention to grandstand. It was more natural… It came from who we are as people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Understood, why talk to me now?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: Now, 3 years later, the escalations of last summer, both in terms of police killings and violence, white supremacism coming to the surface, people are like, ‘well, if you’re not going to call the police, who you’re going to call?’ ….That’s a fine question. Let’s talk about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: So Matt, what are some of the strategies that you and the cafe have taken in order to ward off potential issues of violence or danger?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: So we had a de-escalation and self-defense training. That was a first step to make sure that [we could handle] neighborhood stuff, issues on the corner in a way that we feel safe about putting our bodies in the way or just clocking the situation and going from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: And safety at the cafe was put to the test… bring us into what happened.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: There was a run of laptop robberies across the Bay. I mean, there was rings that were doing this. Of course, it popped up at our shop. So we’re like, we have to do something. We built a little screen door to make a barrier for folks running out. That definitely helped, and a few times they got caught up on that. On the daily, It was good for people with small children so they wouldn’t run out to the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: And then we just talked to our neighbors… Honestly, I rolled up some joints and passed them out and chilled and just talked [with people outside] like, ‘look, you’ve been seeing this happen, right? Like, I wonder what we can do? If you guys can give us a heads up, if you see them….’ And they answered the call. They didn’t come tell us, they just stepped to those young people and we’re like, ‘hey, take it somewhere else.’ And that’s and that ended up being how it tapered off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Do you think this is an example that can be replicated in other places?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt: I think with certain care. We’re talking about it now with a core group of other specifically POC and Black owned co-ops and small businesses… a little alliance so we can share ideas, stories, resources. [For example] how do you have safety without police? How do you make a living without exploiting people and also being affordable enough for your people to afford in capitalism? They’re all connected.\u003cbr>\n\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

"content": "\u003cp>With the grief and isolation of the pandemic, many have referred to artists as “second responders” to the crisis. It was the creative people in our communities, after all, whose music, poetry and murals got us through this dark time. And in a more literal sense, artists were often on the forefront of protests and mutual aid efforts, advocating for racial justice and community care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that spirit, a group of Oakland artists wants to help shape the city’s 2021–23 budget, and they’re planning a virtual town hall to advocate for themselves and their communities on May 25.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, Oakland residents have an opportunity to give their input before the next city budget is set in stone.

That was a crowning moment in her career as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rocky Rivera’s enjoyed a successful musical career and expanded her world as an educator in Oakland public schools. Most recently she published an autobiographical collection of essays, \u003ca href=\"https://www.patreon.com/rockyrivera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Snakeskin, \u003c/em>\u003c/a>which takes a look back at her storied career and personal life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera, who was raised in San Francisco, uses the book to express the importance of restorative justice practices. Addressing conflict without using punitive models is something that works in the classroom and the community, as well as in art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A major part of restorative justice is being accountable for past actions, and growing out of those behaviors in order to come anew. Rocky Rivera likens that process to a snake shedding its skin– it also parallels her process of going through a period of personal, artistic and spiritual growth. Thus, snakeskin is a multilayered term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, I talk to Rocky Rivera about family, community, accountability and growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13897105\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13897105\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A close shot of Rocky Rivera's hands, holding a small snake.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-1920x1282.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A close shot of Rocky Rivera’s hands, holding a small snake. \u003ccite>(Vivian Chen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Below are lightly edited excerpts of my conversation with Rocky Rivera.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Part of restorative justice is identifying when you’ve been wronged. A few of your essays point out unnamed people who have caused harm. They’re academics who used your labor for free, community members who made hollow promises and festival organizers who shortchanged you on performance time…. You were getting some heat off your chest. Bring me into your thinking behind those essays.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: I feel like my story and my voice is all I really have, and when these people are in positions of power – which every single person that I called out was in a position of power – well then I have the right to speak on how that that power was either manipulated or abused or taken advantage of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: In the academic system, there is this reliance on community artists to forever be available and expecting you to do things for free, for exposure and come to your class and talk about your work without any kind of pay. And that’s the exploitation in itself. Especially artists like me, women, Asian-American women who are forever expected to accommodate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: It was restorative for me to speak on that because I wanna make sure that it doesn’t happen to any young folks or any people that are like me. It’s a cautionary tale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: I appreciate the fact that these shots at power holders are interspersed between essays where you’re acknowledging the powers that you had and where you failed to be responsible with your powers, almost apology pieces about some of your lyrics: Pop Killer, Brown Babies or even clarifying some of the lyrics that might have been misconstructed or misconstrued. So how does restorative justice apply to words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: Oh, my gosh. Well, words are everything. Words are my business. There’s always a better word for something. But the reasons why we say things are really mired in how we were raised, our circumstances. So in these 10 years, I’ve turned from somebody who was a product of my environment, a product of my circumstances, to somebody who understands that I can influence my circumstances now because I’m in a position of power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: And I’m trying to get to that point where I write really accurately and I do no harm. But in the past couple of years, I was careless and I had to address it because here’s the thing about restorative justice. You can’t expect somebody to be vulnerable, to be open, to make mistakes if you’re not willing to do that as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: I’m not going to be 100% woke. That’s not going to happen. I’m from the Bay. I listen to Too $hort. I listen to Keak Da Sneak. I’m just not gonna ever be 100% woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: The realness is that we are where we come from and until we can accept everything that we are, then we can never accept each other’s humanity. And I wanted to be the first to say I’ve made a mistake. I made a mistake and I learned from it. Thanks to my community, not despite my community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: And consciousness and politicization is a journey….Really because the revolution starts at home. And I wanted to make myself an example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: The second essay in your book is about being an educator in Oakland, through working at the nonprofit Oakland Kids First– where we actually taught together. So, that line your book about remembering the smell of pizza in the classrooms really brought me back… In that essay, you also covered what restorative justice looks like in real time: getting and giving respect to students, creating safe spaces, changing campus culture through campaigns. Even the details of establishing the ground rules for RJ circles: “speak from the heart, listen from the heart, only talk when holding the talking piece,” … why did you choose to have that essay at the top of your book?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: A lot of my career has been based on controversial moments, moments where either I wrote something that I took back or I said something that made people feel uncomfortable.

That was a crowning moment in her career as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Rocky Rivera’s enjoyed a successful musical career and expanded her world as an educator in Oakland public schools. Most recently she published an autobiographical collection of essays, \u003ca href=\"https://www.patreon.com/rockyrivera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Snakeskin, \u003c/em>\u003c/a>which takes a look back at her storied career and personal life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera, who was raised in San Francisco, uses the book to express the importance of restorative justice practices. Addressing conflict without using punitive models is something that works in the classroom and the community, as well as in art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A major part of restorative justice is being accountable for past actions, and growing out of those behaviors in order to come anew. Rocky Rivera likens that process to a snake shedding its skin– it also parallels her process of going through a period of personal, artistic and spiritual growth. Thus, snakeskin is a multilayered term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, I talk to Rocky Rivera about family, community, accountability and growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13897105\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13897105\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A close shot of Rocky Rivera's hands, holding a small snake.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1-1920x1282.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/rocky-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A close shot of Rocky Rivera’s hands, holding a small snake. \u003ccite>(Vivian Chen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Below are lightly edited excerpts of my conversation with Rocky Rivera.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Part of restorative justice is identifying when you’ve been wronged. A few of your essays point out unnamed people who have caused harm. They’re academics who used your labor for free, community members who made hollow promises and festival organizers who shortchanged you on performance time…. You were getting some heat off your chest. Bring me into your thinking behind those essays.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: I feel like my story and my voice is all I really have, and when these people are in positions of power – which every single person that I called out was in a position of power – well then I have the right to speak on how that that power was either manipulated or abused or taken advantage of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: In the academic system, there is this reliance on community artists to forever be available and expecting you to do things for free, for exposure and come to your class and talk about your work without any kind of pay. And that’s the exploitation in itself. Especially artists like me, women, Asian-American women who are forever expected to accommodate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: It was restorative for me to speak on that because I wanna make sure that it doesn’t happen to any young folks or any people that are like me. It’s a cautionary tale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: I appreciate the fact that these shots at power holders are interspersed between essays where you’re acknowledging the powers that you had and where you failed to be responsible with your powers, almost apology pieces about some of your lyrics: Pop Killer, Brown Babies or even clarifying some of the lyrics that might have been misconstructed or misconstrued. So how does restorative justice apply to words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: Oh, my gosh. Well, words are everything. Words are my business. There’s always a better word for something. But the reasons why we say things are really mired in how we were raised, our circumstances. So in these 10 years, I’ve turned from somebody who was a product of my environment, a product of my circumstances, to somebody who understands that I can influence my circumstances now because I’m in a position of power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: And I’m trying to get to that point where I write really accurately and I do no harm. But in the past couple of years, I was careless and I had to address it because here’s the thing about restorative justice. You can’t expect somebody to be vulnerable, to be open, to make mistakes if you’re not willing to do that as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: I’m not going to be 100% woke. That’s not going to happen. I’m from the Bay. I listen to Too $hort. I listen to Keak Da Sneak. I’m just not gonna ever be 100% woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: The realness is that we are where we come from and until we can accept everything that we are, then we can never accept each other’s humanity. And I wanted to be the first to say I’ve made a mistake. I made a mistake and I learned from it. Thanks to my community, not despite my community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: And consciousness and politicization is a journey….Really because the revolution starts at home. And I wanted to make myself an example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: The second essay in your book is about being an educator in Oakland, through working at the nonprofit Oakland Kids First– where we actually taught together. So, that line your book about remembering the smell of pizza in the classrooms really brought me back… In that essay, you also covered what restorative justice looks like in real time: getting and giving respect to students, creating safe spaces, changing campus culture through campaigns. Even the details of establishing the ground rules for RJ circles: “speak from the heart, listen from the heart, only talk when holding the talking piece,” … why did you choose to have that essay at the top of your book?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: A lot of my career has been based on controversial moments, moments where either I wrote something that I took back or I said something that made people feel uncomfortable. But if I had not learned about restorative justice, if I had not learned from those young people what it means to truly be in community, I probably would have quit the game a long time ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky Rivera: They really humbled me when I organized kids in Oakland because they didn’t care if I interviewed Snoop. They didn’t care if I was on television. They weren’t even in 6th grade when that shit came out [laughs] ya know what i mean. They didn’t care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rocky: Ok, I think i’m a big M.C., this artist, this journalist who’s done all these things, but when it comes down to the classroom, none of that matters. It does not matter. All that matters is a connection I make with my students and whether or not I’m able to organize and politicize them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
