On a bright and joyous day in Downtown Oakland, The Hidden Genius Project, TEAM, Inc., Oakland Natives Give Back, and RepresentEd Leadership hosted the Grand Opening Celebration of their new Headquarters and offices. A host of community members, champions, and supporters gathered at 1441 Franklin Street to participate in this momentous occasion celebrating growth, community, and a new chapter for Black-led nonprofit organizations based in Oakland. This event included the reveal of our Ubuntu Center launched in partnership with Best Buy, Salesforce, and The Clubhouse Network, and a special proclamation (read by Councilmember of District 6, Loren Taylor) declaring December 2, 2022 as The Hidden Genius Project Day in the City of Oakland.
