Do you ever feel overwhelmed by questions about budgeting, saving or building credit? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. There’s a welcoming space in Oakland where neighbors come together to learn, connect and build brighter financial futures.
Meet Myesha Brown
Meet Myesha Brown, Chase’s Oakland Community Manager. She’s dedicated to supporting her community through financial education and meaningful partnerships. Her passion for helping people reach their financial goals — no matter where they are on their journey — shines through in everything she does.
What does a Community Manager do?
Myesha: As community manager, I support Oakland by connecting our neighbors, businesses and local leaders to the right financial resources for their unique needs. I’m here to collaborate and help people build money skills through workshops and support from the local Chase team.
Workshop on how to avoid fraud and scams, Friday, April 24, 2– 3 p.m., Chase’s Oakland Community Center, 3005 Broadway at 30th Street. Drop in, no registration required.
Our goal is to empower individuals, families, businesses and the next generation with the tools and knowledge to build stronger financial futures. I host free workshops at our branches and in the community on key financial health topics like budgeting, saving, building credit and preventing fraud and scams. The workshops are open to all, no matter who they bank with.
Our branches aren’t just places to bank; they’re hubs for local expertise and support from people who know the neighborhood. The Oakland Community Center is the first of its kind in the Bay Area

Why did you choose this path?
Myesha: My “why” is simple: I want to be part of meaningful change. As a community manager, I help Oakland residents build pathways toward stronger financial futures. I’m a reflection of this community and the people here helped shape the person I am today. My dad lived in Oakland and sold cars on Broadway. He was a huge Oakland Raiders fan, always wearing black and silver head-to-toe. Some of my earliest memories were going to games with him and feeling the energy of the crowd.
Returning to serve the same neighborhoods that were part of my childhood is deeply personal. That’s why I’m proud to work for a company that’s been part of the Greater Bay Area for more than 120 years. We believe that by working together and providing steady support, everyone has a stronger chance to achieve more.
How can people get in touch?
Myesha: You can always stop by Chase’s Oakland Community Center at 3005 Broadway at 30th Street to learn more about the resources available. My team and I look forward to getting to know you.
