“I’m not saying I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.” – Tupac Shakur
Google opened their doors to the students, faculty, staff, affiliates, and supporters of the Tupac Shakur inspired East Oakland, CA based charter school, Roses In Concrete. Students displayed in various forms the creative expressions they are being taught at Roses and shared a glimpse of the what the school in its infancy, has been producing.

To add to the already incredible experience, actress and supporter, Zendaya, shared some insightful experience, lessons, and inspiring words to the attentive and excited ears of the Roses students. “It may sound cliche but its so true…follow your heart…whatever it is you want to do…do it.”
Roses In Concrete Community School is a refreshing and revitalizing addition to the school system; a system that has pulled the majority of creative arts programming and the funding that keeps those programs going, by offering a platform to the budding brains and emerging imaginations of a unique generation of eager learners/teachers. Google.org understands the components that keep these forces alive and have stepped up to plate with 650k of renewed funding of the school.
