Back in April, we were given the privilege of interviewing incredible creatives, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and innovators involved with the Mercatus PDX magazine launch at the Momentous event (Elevating, Connecting, & Celebrating Entrepreneurs of Color). We had HEAVY HITTER guests! We sat down with the greats, including Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty who’s doing major work for POC in PDX, Jamaal Hale at @GoodGreen who did beautiful print work for the mag, our love and organizer Amanda with Prosper Portland , the incredible force that is Abibat Durosimi, Kimberly Branam, Tiara Darnell of High Good People and the baddest of the bad @Savina Monet. Let your ears be serenaded with the sweet sounds of PDX activism, passion, and heart. Shout out of the year goes to Y.G.B Portland , @ProsperPortland , @Mercatus PDX , and @thatjeffoliver for giving a platform to the beautiful voices we were so honored to sit with. Much love to all involved and beyond— y’all are the pillars of the village. We love you. #ittakesavillage
