Biography / Administrative History

Publisher and media consultant Rhonda White-Warner (1951-2014) was born on July 7, 1951 in Oakland, California. After graduating from Oakland Technical High School in 1969, she attended California State University Hayward graduating with a bachelor of science in child development in 1975. She began her career in the Oakland arts community in 1974 as a program director for the Alameda County Neighborhood Arts Program coordinating and offering technical assistance to Alameda County cultural organizations. In 1977, she was hired as a public information specialist for the City of Oakland’s Office of Parks and Recreation writing press releases and advertising the department’s cultural and recreational programs. By 1981 she created her first media consulting and event planning agency, Authenic Vint’age Promotions, contracting with local artists to assist with graphic design, media advertising, and event planning.

The agency was renamed Rhonda White-Warner & Associates and was contracted to assist with promoting and coordinating many African American political and cultural events in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s. She served as a marketing consultant for the Center of Hope Community Church, Ebony Museum of Arts, Inc., Western Addition Cultural Center, and the Graduate Theological Union. She also was media consultant for the local fundraising dinner for Jesse Jackson’s 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, Bay Area Black United Fund Dinner, the West Coast 1988 debut of the Boy Choir of Harlem, and the City of Oakland’s Festival at the Lake.

In 1988, she launched Rhonda White-Warner’s Tidbits, a magazine dedicated to promoting African American arts and culture in the San Francisco Bay Area. The magazine featured articles, interviews, and an events calendar focused on the African American dance, theater, and visual arts community. The magazine was published until it ceased publication in 1993. In addition to her work as a publisher and consultant, she was also active in a number of cultural and political organizations in Oakland. She was a founding member of the Oakland Ensemble Theatre, where she started the theater’s newsletter and established its first youth drama workshop. She was also an active member in the Oakland Chapter of the Niagara Movement Democratic Club serving many years as its membership chair. Later in life, she returned to school and earned a divinity degree from the American Baptist Seminary of the West in 2006. She helped to establish the East Bay Faith Collective, a group of HIV/AIDS advocates that worked to educate local African American ministers on HIV/AIDS issues.

Scope and Content of Collection

The Rhonda White-Warner papers consist of consulting project files, subject files, photographs, back issues and administrative files of Tidbits magazine, administrative files and theatrical programs of the Oakland Ensemble Theatre, and assorted printed material largely documenting the African American performing arts community in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s and 1980s. The collection is organized into seven series: Series I. Biographical materials, Series II. Public relations consulting, Series III. Tidbits magazine, Series IV. Oakland Ensemble Theatre, Series V. Subject files, Series VI. Photographs. Series VII. Assorted printed material.

Biographical materials include Rhonda White-Warner’s resume and biographical sketch, and a short essay titled, “Autobiography of Rhonda White-Warner (or why I have to create jobs for myself).” Also included in the biographical series are materials documenting the life and funeral service of Rhonda White-Warner’s mother Elise Mae Boyd White. The public relations consulting series are project files created by the public relations firm Rhonda White-Warner & Associates that specialized in event planning and marketing. The project files are arranged chronologically and include contracts, marketing and publicity material, reports, and correspondence documenting the firm’s outreach and event planning for mostly African American cultural events in Oakland, California in the 1980s. Also included are White-Warner’s project files for her work with the Oakland Parks and Recreation Department, Oakland Technical High School’s class of 1969 reunions, and local fundraisers for Jesse Jackson’s 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns.

Tidbits magazine series consists of back issues of the publication and administrative files documenting the magazine’s production and membership. The administrative files are arranged alphabetically by format and include advertising and membership files, correspondence, a business plan, and organizational chart. The Oakland Ensemble Theatre series is arranged alphabetically by format and consists of administrative files such as advisory committee meeting minutes, correspondence, and press releases. Publicity material includes theater programs and flyers for theatrical productions and biographical sketches of the cast and crew.

Subject files are arranged alphabetically by organization or subject and were likely maintained as reference in the production of Tidbits magazine. The files include brochures, programs, flyers, correspondence, and publicity material for various African American performing arts organizations and topics chiefly in Oakland, California in the 1980s.
