S1 | E9: This is Frank Gomez, owner of Wink Optics in San Anselmo. When Kalina and I sat down with him, he went to the heart of the We Are One Marin campaign's mission - how do we promote social equity in business and in community right here in this County? From his childhood in one of Sacramento's poor neighborhoods to his early career in the emerging rave culture, Frank has made the most of his opportunities. Even after he started selling sunglasses, it wasn't enough to be the rep, he found a way to own the shop and be the optician instead. As he grew his number of locations and took on a partner, he remained true to where he started by advertising as a minority-owned business in a predominantly White area.
If you're a regular listener of the podcast, this episode may sound a little different, and by different, I mean it's a little bit longer and the subject matter is more sensitive too. You will hear our conversations about domestic violence and racial equity, and you'll hear some of Frank's personal opinions. Stay tuned for our deepest dive yet, as we really talk, about how Marin works.
