Da Gathering
Once a month, Black Portland pulls up to a Black-owned spot, catches up, meets somebody new, and spends a little money with our own. Grown folks, good people, no velvet rope.
Connect. Build. Support Black business.
Black Portland is spread out across this whole city. So once a month we round everybody up under one roof, and that roof belongs to one of us. Friends of friends become your people, owners get their flowers, and somebody always leaves with a job lead, a new client, or a to-go plate.
Here's how the night goes down.
Connect
Walk in knowing two people, walk out knowing twenty. Old heads, new transplants, students, founders, your auntie's coworker. Everybody's somebody in here.
Build
Swap numbers, trade game, line up the next collab. Business cards encouraged. Elevator pitches tolerated, as long as you let somebody else talk too.
Support
When the whole crew comes through a Black-owned business, that business feels it. Order something. Tip right. Leave that five-star review.
Run it back
Same time next month. Bring somebody who needs to be in the room. That's how the circle gets bigger.
Two crews. One community.
Pick your crew, drop your email, and we'll hit your inbox with the details for the next one. No dues, no dress code. Just come ready to talk.
