During these events we gained more insight into how government officials get sworn in. At the dpa interns had the opportunity to work with investigator jz attorneys also our mentors. They provided us with many opportunities including the opportunity to sit in on interview with complainant. We saw first hand how investigators listened to both parties and act as a medator. In this interview the complaint said many thirngs i did not understand. But once the interview ended my mentor explained to me as a investigator you must be patient and listen and guide them to recall all the events that occurred. The dpa is here to hold people accountable for their actions when misconduct occurs. The investigation connected by the dpa and mediation policy research jz proposal, outreach and audit all impact our community in unique ways. Dpa is wunk one of the leaders in the conversation surrounding police reform. Im grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work at such a trailblazing office full of diversity.

Thank you. [applause] thank you noel. Let s give her another round of applause. Thank you wamo. Changing lives this summer. Im really happy that i get to present somebody that i have been following, really inspires me. This performer his name is Shawn Williams. He is i think one of the best spoken word artist in california and bay area for sure, so lets give it up for spoken word artist, Shawn Williams [applause] how is everybody doing . That was real light. Guess you guys are hungry. How is everybody doing . Thats much better. My name is Shawn William from oakland california. I am a spoken word artist, a father, a son, teacher, student and person who loves Grilled Cheese sandwiches. The bay area is rich with great spoken word artists so i will take top 10, but there are too many remarkable spoken word artists. One is on the dj. Give it up to inaudible [applause] but ill take top 10. This poem it will be real quick. Last year i was walking through the mall and i sawi was walking past foot locker and saw shoes and i have clean shocks on, but i saw shoes in foot locker and it took me back. Im old enough to remember when those were not ret row, they really came out and i wanted these shoes real bad just to go back down memory lane and when i saw them they told me i had to get in line and there was a long time. I had time to kill and so got in the line and somebody came up to me and was like excuse me, what is this line for. I was like the jordan coming out and i want to get some. They are like you see boys responding their last hard earned dollars and being judgmental and i am not going to act like i havent, but they were asking why are these kids in line trying to get these shoes when they can get a llc or all these other things they were projecting on these kids and then i asked the kidi was in line with a kid and he had tshirts looked stereo typical and said what are you getting the shoes for and he is like, i just want to feel fly. I just want to feel fly so this is dedicated to him and the other kids who feel that way. This poem doesnt start with the black boy in foot locker line responding 200 on jordans but that is where society wants to start. It doesnt start with the black inaudible this poem starts with too many kills that fail little black boys filled with teachers telling them they wont be anything then failures while reading textbook inaudible to help build the country and parent project trauma so before we judge little black boys for choices of shoes maybe we should walk in them and understand their struggles and maybe you find too many little black boys are abandoned by fathers looked at grown men used as target practice. If i had a dollar every time i mentors a little black boy whos frnd died by gun fire i would have enough money to stand. Nobody judges with other kids purchasing iphones call of duty like they do little black boys. Too many black boys are inaudible alcoholic stressed out hyper sexual, depression, suicidal and sometimes something as simple as jays can make them feel worthy so while you are on your high horse looking down on little black boys wondering why they dont pick up by their boot strap orez use money to purchase a llc, maybe it is because they are trying to get out of the sorry and because that little black boy spirits are broken, three class mates are killed and since life expect ancy is barely 25 he doesnt think he will live tomorrow inaudible little black boys often have midlife crisis at the age of 13, so these shoes, these high priced expensive shoes are the only thing that make them feel worthy and fly and thats where the poem and discussion should always start. Thank you. My name is Shawn Williams. Follow me at i am Shawn Williams. Have a good day. [applause] shawn, thank you so much. We really need to hear poets like that because those words get people inspired. Those are the type of words that make us understand that we are real and our experience is valid and it is being seen and being represented by shawn so give it up for Shawn William s once again. [applause] you know, before i introduce another special guest, i would like to share a story i had this summer with my cohort and interns. You know, it makes me so happy that they can experience and be exposed to some of the you know, Tech Companies out here like wamo and google and city departments like dpa but we also had a lot of work shops we got to take them to the hrc put together. One of them that really i think changed my life and some of my interns lives was the power to heal today work shop event and it was held at the Public Library and also held at usf and one of the work shops, there was a story telling work shop where we had an amazing author and artist come in and she taught our youth how to write a story and how to tell their story, and i just want to say, i want to give a shout out to carl in the back over there. One of my interns. Dont put your hood on. You really touched my soul, man, when you went up there in front of all the youth and all the interns and all of the fellows and you told your story. You really got me emotional and i actually shed a couple tears and i didnt think i would get like that but carl, you really did have a transformative moment there and i have seen you grow in the last 2 months and it has been really just a privilege of mine to see youth like carl, kenneth, anthony, lauren, i can shout all my kids, but you know, im just really happy im able to have that tonight each and every summer. We really had so many moments whereokay. So,im sorry. What exactly are we going to introduce . Okay. Im sorry. I got caught up in my own story and i could not read theyeah, anyway [laughter] i just want to introduce the next group and the next presenters. This is the sales and marketing cohort. I think one of the most important cohorts in osa because sales and marketing really does go above and beyond some of the cohorts so lets give it up for sales and marketing and their amazing presentation coming up. You guysi know worked so hard this year. [applause] whats up guys. We are sales and are marketing and we work downtown in the lincoln office. Im gavin. Im emerson. inaudible im mia. Im emily the fellow for this cohort. We are working on a website where teens in San Francisco can access information such as possible job opportunities, volunteer opportunities, local events and much more. inaudible i will be speaking oen their behalf. They did create an amazing project which was a Marketing Campaign for opportunities for all, which helped to increase participation among the program so they completed a variety of Marketing Tools such as creating posters throughout the city and high schools and Community Centers as well as creating the framework for Ambassador Program which allow student at high school to educate peers about opportunities for all and other things such collaboratin
