Zennie62blog Presents:Selika Thomas Is Running For Rebecca Kaplan’s Oakland City Council At-Large Seat For 2024
. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content.Each Oakland Election Cycle brings new faces to Oakland’s political family. This cycle for the 2024 Election brings a fresh face: Selika Thomas , who’s running for the Oakland City Council At-Large Seat currently held by Rebecca Kaplan (who’s not filed for re-election, but it’s early at this point). But who is Selika Thomas ? Selika Thomas’ website at SelikaThomasForCityCouncil.com says this about the candidate, and person. Fair warning because its not a pretty story, but it is an Oakland story: Selika was born and raised in East Oakland. After graduating from Fremont High in Oakland, she earned an AA degree in Science & Cosmetology from Laney College. Selika started her business installing sewn weaves for clients with hair loss. Selika faces struggles common to Oakland residents at her East Oakland flat lands home – home and car break-ins, abandon cars, piles of trash, car chase, and homeless people living on her street. Selika decided to fight back by becoming block captain of her neighborhood and has resolved neighborhood problems directly with local city agencies, school administrators, and school board. In 2018, Selika lost her little sister to gun violence in Oakland and now raises her 11-year-old nephew. In 2022, she lost her brother’s dad and the man who helped raise her, Army Veteran Rodney Davis, to a senseless gun violence in Oakland that made headline news. As a result, Selika advocates for cameras to be attached to shot spotters. These have reduced crime by 43% in Chicago. Selika will do whatever it takes to get the job done right. Believe in her. That is who Ms. Thomas is on web; eventually we will get to meet her. Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media and Zennie62Blog.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Zennie62Blog.com site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
