Hi! My name is Kim.
I'm an Oakland native. I created TalkOakland. TalkOakland is an effort to heal generational trauma by telling powerful stories. Stories change beliefs. Our primal architecture informs our approach to narratives. Since ancient times, stories centered on heroes and villains have been emotive for humans. Will Storr, author of The Science of Storytelling, explains, “The emotions we experience, when under the power of story, don’t happen by accident. Humans have evolved to respond in certain ways to tales of heroism and villainy because doing so has been critical for our survival.” It is in our DNA to respond to stories. Stories are capable of changing human behavior. |

People of color deserve the power to control their own narratives. So five years ago, I obsessively began to learn the art of filmmaking in an effort to tell my own stories.
