As a born-and-raised Black Portlander, Iโm excited to work with Chair Miles Pendleton and community leaders to uplift the needs of Black Oregonians.
Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that justice has never come swiftly for Black people. While the chains were removed, the systems of control were not.
We honor Juneteenth by fighting forward.
This marks a long-overdue step toward justice and recognition of the pain and loss theyโve endured that had expanded generations.

Portlanders have long lived with the consequences of racist displacement policies. As a Black Portlander, Iโve heard about these harms throughout my life. Iโm deeply heartened to see the families from the Albina/Emanuel Hospital neighborhood finally receive their settlement.

2 years ago from tonight I got hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the freeway.
Recovery isnโt a destination; itโs an ongoing process, one that demands patience, strength, and an unshakable will to keep moving forward.
This was non-transparent, even to Councilors - I found out through this press release.
This is not good governance.
Portlanders deserve open processes. You did not receive one on the LUCS. An open process doesn't mean any specific outcome, but it would have been more transparent.

The hypocrisy is glaring, and it's past time we challenge these narratives head-on.
It's wild to think that colonizers who stole land have the audacity to call immigrants "illegal" while refusing to acknowledge themselves as criminals or illegals.
