As we all know, tomorrow is election day aka 🗣 GET OUT AND VOTE! day. 🗳
So for today's Motivational Monday we're getting motivated by listening to the words of our Intern Kaliyah Tillman, a first time voter who was interviewed by Holly J. Mcdede for KQED Kaliyah spoke with Holly about local politics, violence in Oakland, what's really important to young people and more.
We are so proud of the way our youth speak up for the change they want to see in this world and honored to play a role in making sure their voices are heard.
Catch the full interview below and hear what else Kaliyah had to say about Oakland and what we need to do today to make tomorrow better.
and don't forget to vote tomorrow, November 8th!

🤔 Is it too early to throwback to our Black Futures Ball this past August? We don't think so. We had such a great time in Oaklanda, it's never too early to revisit it!
If you see yourself or someone you know tag them in the comments.
(Bonus: if you need inspiration for what to wear to the theater for Wakanda Forever, there's plenty of looks here 👀)
Thanks again to everyone for coming out with style, good vibes, and most importantly, in support of our Pathway to College students. Be sure to catch our post tomorrow introducing our scholarship recipients 🧑🏾🎓, we couldn't be more proud of them!

A final Note from our Very Own
Ms. Regina Jackson:
EOYDC, you are my heart. The staff, the youth, and my partners in this labor of love,
You have become my family.
My last act as Captain of this ship, is to leave you in the most capable of hands. It has been my life's pleasure to know and serve you. Thank you, I will never be far away.
Continue the Mission.
