| Video Discription | Marc Singer, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, talks with Jana Pastena, a GGU Law School alumna who is a restaurateur in Oakland. We will talk about how the restaurant business has been affected by the pandemic and the recent protests, the need for community involvement and activism, and the unique challenges that face black-owned businesses, 41 percent of which have closed permanently since February, compared with 17 percent of white-owned businesses. Jana Pastena is a passionate Oakland resident. Her family moved to Oakland in 1980 when she was 2 years old. They fell in love with Oakland and the Bay Area immediately—-a welcome change for her interracial family from the segregated Midwest. She is a graduate of Oakland’s Mills College where she earned a degree in Ethnic Studies. She graduated from Golden Gate University School of Law in 2012. She met her husband, Chris, in 2004 and he too was soon enamored with Oakland. The two used their culinary and social justice backgrounds to give back to Oakland and decided Oakland was the place to open their restaurants Chop Bar (2009), Calavera (2015), Tribune Tavern (2013 and 2019), and Lungomare (2013), which they sold in 2019. Jana is most proud of creating places of community and creating good jobs for Oakland’s diverse residents. Jana has helped Oakland grow to be a leading culinary destination. She currently sits on the boards of directors of Children’s Fairyland and The Crucible. She and Chris use their influence in Oakland to support charitable causes that support children, music, the arts, and the homeless.
