At Create The Space, we're powering the development of culturally rooted restoration and healing spaces in neighborhoods where Black men live, lead, and love. Our first official hub centers emotional wellness, creative expression, and restorative gathering as core public health interventions—anchored in trust, not bureaucracy.
Located in the heart of North Oakland at 3851 Market Street, Oakland we hope to establish Create The Space Cultural Wellness Community Hub as an integral thread in the Oakland fabric. Won't you come build with us!?
We're building environments where Black men don’t just get services—they shape them.

Rooted in Oakland. Built With You.
We believe wellness infrastructure belongs in our own backyards. Our location in North Oakland was intentional: near where generations have marched, created, and organized for Black freedom.
"This space is our altar, our classroom, our studio, and our meeting ground."
As we grow, we’re staying hyperlocal and hyper-relational. Your presence matters here.
