This is a safe place…I feel comfortable here.

Amy Schneider is a Jeopardy champion, boasting a 40-game winning streak from November 2021 to January 2022—the second-longest win streak in the show's history! She’s also Jeopardy’s first transgender champion, a public speaker and writer. She’s using the Port as her workspace as she writes her upcoming book.

When we asked Amy what made her want to make the Port her workplace, this is what she had to say:

This is a safe place for me. I feel comfortable here.

Oakland is a city that is diverse in every imaginable dimension. We take pride in making our space welcoming to everyone who uses it, and we’re thrilled when one of our members tells us a story like Amy’s. If you see Amy in our space, ask her how her book project is coming along!
