Yasmin Kouchesfahani — an equity and inclusion advocate with experience in immigration, food, disability, elder and housing justice — joined Executive Director Tito Valdes to become the office’s program specialist on Sept. 28. The Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs was previously headed up by similar pairs. In 2017, Evan Thornburg was named as the first-ever deputy director working alongside AJ Hikes. Additionally, Erik Larson was appointed in 2021 to work with Celena Morrison. Creating lasting infrastructure for the office’s success requires a team, explained Valdes, who has been in his role since March 2026 but is committed to succession planning to ensure the long-term success of the office’s initiatives. “We recognize that we won’t be in these roles forever,” he said — adding that he believes the leaders who come after the new team will benefit from and build upon the work they’re starting now.

Nearby: Oakland, CABy Walter Riley Oakland’s Black students are making faster gains in reading and math than Black students statewide, according to state data released Oct. 15. Those gains followed decisions by school board President Jennifer Brouhard and Vice President Valarie Bachelor to keep schools open, invest in Black students and support teachers. Since 2023, Black students in Oakland Unified School District have gained about 31 points in English and math on the California School Dashboard — roughly three times the statewide English gain and more than twice the math gain. Our students still trail their statewide peers, but they have narrowed that gap by about a third. In 2022, the previous board voted to close or reduce grades at 11 schools, mostly serving Black and Brown families. A state civil rights investigation later found the plan would have unlawfully discriminated against Black, low-income and disabled students.
