  • In this episode of Do Beautiful Things, we spoke with Christina Porter, board chair of Keep Oakland Beautiful, about their impactful work in preserving the beauty of Oakland. We learned about the transformative power of murals, the importance of community engagement, and the positive impact of creating green spaces. From the MLK grants to the enduring legacy of Marcus Books, this episode is a testament to the deep connection between beauty, community, and sustainability. It's a reminder that together, we can continue to do beautiful things for our neighborhoods and the world. Stay tuned for more inspiration in our upcoming episodes.

    "The mural reflects the beauty and wonder of reading. It shows two beautiful black children opening new worlds of learning and excitement within the pages of a book." — Christina Porter
