our community is changing.

The city of Oakland is rapidly changing along with our country’s
socio-political climate. These changes undoubtedly influence
members of the Oakland community, often leaving those who have called It a lifelong home -- our entrepreneurs, business women and other cornerstones of our community --disadvantaged. Through our work with corporations and community partners alike, Sheryl Grant Enterprises (SGE) aims to create a lasting paradigm shift between corporate systems and community welfare. We believe that as part of this community, it is our responsibility to build a sustainable environment that is inclusive of Oakland natives and transplants alike, with a focus on supporting women of color.
