Golden Gate

Atiim Chenzira grew up in East Oakland and still has plenty of family there. He now calls the Golden Gate neighborhood his home. Atiim is a musician, a songwriter, a spoken word poet, a community activist and a family therapist. From the short period of time I spent with him, I would also add that Atiim is committed, compassionate and compelling and represents the best of what Oakland is all about. If you want to know more about him, check out his website.
