Not long ago I asked the question…”Where’s the soul at Portland?” Well I’ve gathered up a couple of my peers to assist me in regard to that specific mission! I’ll be generating a series of events that will identify the very essence of Soul/Culture/Community! As we enter into BHM I feel the need to showcase my people in this frequency we truly enjoy! 2/27/26 we kick off “Doin it 4 the Soul” this will be the starter kit for your year in 2026!This will be a very limited and intimate vibe so don’t sleep, again this event is for individuals who want to get lost in the journey of soulfulness. The roster of selectors is top choice!!!
