from Think Hopeful, Act Local · host BlueHeartAction

What happens when a West Oakland barber of 25+ years decides to turn his shop into something more? In this episode of Think Hopeful, Act Local, Blue Heart's Eva Orbuch sits down with Demorea "Truckie" Evans — the visionary behind Mama Jean's Create Hub — to hear how a pandemic grocery run grew into a full community hub offering youth programs, creative trades, financial literacy, civic education, and so much more. Named in honor of his late mother Mama Jean, and now carrying the legacy of his beloved god-sister India, this is a story about what community truly looks like.🔗 Learn more about Mama Jean's Create Hub: instagram.com/mama_jeans_createhub🔗 Learn more about Blue Heart: blueheartaction.org
