Building healthier lives for Portland’s Black Diaspora communities

Pressing issues of social isolation, limited self-empowerment, economic burdens, unhealthy lifestyles, strained family dynamics, and underrepresentation have long existed in Portland’s Black Diaspora communities—and we were witnessing these communities' health outcomes continue to suffer and decline.

Believing there’s a brighter, healthier future, we’re on a mission to transform the Black Diaspora communities' physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Transformation through relationship and holistic health

Our approach to health is different.

We wrap around Portland’s Black Diaspora communities and help each family identify their unique needs and ways to improve their lives. We utilize a trauma-informed, systems-thinking approach firmly grounded in popular education and Polyvagal Theory to address physical, mental, emotional, and financial health, empower individuals, and create healthier families and communities.

Over 900 families served

Over $400,000 given in wage relief, rental, and energy assistance since 2020

Over 400 childbirths supported
