LOOKING FOR BLACK LIVES MATTERS EVENTS? THERE'S AN AGGREGATED CALENDAR
There is something about the Portland culture of collaboration that inspires collection, aggregation, and amplification. To make things easier to use. To raise the visibility of important conversations. And to use technology to make things more accessible. So it should come as little surprise to anyone that with something as undeniably important as the Black Lives Matter movement, Portland would have its own aggregated calendar of Black Lives Matter events.

WORKFROM LAUNCHES VIRTUAL CAFE TO ENABLE CONNECTIONS
But in a pandemic addled world of self isolation where none of us can go anywhere, that hugely valuable collection of information doesn’t quite have the same appeal. But what does have appeal is the massive community of remote workers they’ve fostered over the years. Tons of talented folks — the vast majority of them remote first employees and consultants — from around the world who rely on Workfrom to help them find spots to work.

INTERVIEW WITH PORTLAND FOUNDER AND MENTOR PAIGE HENDRIX BUCKNER
Stephanie Ghoston Paul is a former Portland resident now living in Atlanta who worked closely with the Portland startup community. And Paige Hendrix Buckner is a current Portland resident who has been a serial founder and mentor here in town. And so when these two amazing women for whom I have the utmost respect got the chance to chat on Stephanie’s podcast, Take Nothing When I Die, it was a must listen for me. And I thought you might want to listen, as well.
