About West Oakland Stories Positive Feeling MovemenInc.

West Oakland Stories Positive Feeling Movement (WOSPFM) is dedicated to getting our community members to practice “NO NEGATIVE SPEAK” with each other. West Oakland Stories is an educational and empowering movement, where we, the Black elders of West Oakland share our stories and our experiences with the world so we can connect the world with Oakland’s living history. The goal of the movement is to give a voice to those people who experienced the growth and development of Oakland’s cultural mystique, so those who lived during the development of Oakland’s historical lore can relay their first-hand experiences to the generations following them, who may be generally unaware of how these stories and revelations paved the way for the community to have developed at that time in Oakland.
