Oakland Voices correspondent Amelah El-Amin asks residents, What do you love most about Oakland?
What I love most about Oakland is the righteous believers that I have grown to love. They bring light, insight, and sincere love reflective of Allah.
Bilal Gouled Mahmoud, West Oakland
What I love most about Oakland, is its grittiness, it’s lack of rule following, because it’s what makes Oakland a hub for progressive radical political action.
Joan “Joannie” Danenberg, Laurel District
It’s Home! It’s Comfortable! For me it is a one stop shop because there is a little of everything in Oakland.
