Oakland, like many major U.S. cities, has been severely impacted by recent unprecedented events. The COVID-19 pandemic leads the procession of crises that have shaken the city’s economic foundation and uprooted individuals, communities and businesses.  Arguably, one of the industries hit hardest has been that of arts and entertainment as those venues have been shuttered for well over a year. The Oakland Business Collective (OBC) is a newlyformed group of longtime friends, all arts and entertainment professionals who decided to join forces, combine resources and make a difference by revitalizing Oakland’s arts and entertainment scene. Their ongoing mission is to explore, identify and make strategic investments and create foundational opportunities that promote job creation and sustainable, generational wealth-building in Oakland’s African American community.
