Under the Dragon
- Description:
- Under the Dragon: California’s New Culture
Opens January 30, 2010 through August 1, 2010
This photographic exhibit explores not just the diversity of Northern California, but also the experiment of pluralism taking place where cultures, personalities and traditions co-mingle in unexplored modern ways. The exhibit was inspired by a photographer’s chance encounter under a Chinese New Year golden dragon when a rainstorm interrupted the annual celebration. The photographer sought refuge under the dragon’s hide and discovered the unlikely alliance of people who carried the 200-foot dragon were Russians, Samoans, Latinos and Chinese.
Created at the Oakland Museum by photojournalist Lonny Shavelson and writer Fred Setterberg. The exhibit honors those breaking cultural stereotypes, the iconic traditions of the international community, and the individualism that could only be explored in California.

[1:00pm] G-SEP Career Day
- Description:
- We begin week five of our Girls Self-Esteem Program Academy.
Career Day!
Girls learn, etiquette, social grace, sisterhood, self-defense, verbal judo, how to cope with peer pressure, and how to deal with bullies.
We team up with loving and caring parents who have similar goals and dreams for their daughters. By reinforcing what parents are already teaching their Princesses, we provide the momentum for high achieving girls, who are often overlooked and ignored. The fact is most girls will never get into trouble for reasons ranging from having good fathers, mothers, educators, and personal drive.
Our academy is not an At-Risk-Youth Program. We believe that labels such as "Inner-city" and "At-Risk" are labels that lead to low self-esteem and an excuse to fail.
We believe girls who have drive, need our support and guidance too. G-SEP is their cheering squad.
G-SEP girls carry themselves with honor, grace and dignity. Many of our girls have been skipped up a grade level because of their academic determination. Most have a 3.8 G.P.A or above, and this year we send our first young lady to New York to study ballet on a full dance scholarship.
Professional ballerinas from New York coach the Princesses on poise and grace during the program that awards girls on true merit that warrants praise.
The dancers also perform at the Little Miss Capital City Pageant and G-SEP Graduation to raise funds for our programs. July 10, 2010 at Hiram Johnson High School beginning at 6pm.
Each G-SEP girl pledges to carry herself with grace and dignity, through her teen years and beyond.
Parents must register Princesses for the G-SEP Academy. Girls ages 4-12 are eligible to attend. All of our classes are on Saturdays, so that parents may drop their Princesses off in a safe, clean environment and have some Saturday afternoon time to themselves.
We are now registering girls ages 3 and under for our Baby Miss Capital City Pageant to be held July 10, 2010 in Sacramento.
