Podcasts about black resilience fund

On this week's episode of the Dive, host Brianna Wheeler welcomes Kick Ass Oregon History's Doug Kenck-Crispin to discuss his contribution to this week's Weird Summer Tales cover package, Cave of Wonders, an examination of a centuries old shipwreck whose beeswax has been washing up on Oregon shores for generations, and whose most recent discovery may finally uncover it's true origins. Brianna also highlights a few stories from this week's paper, including the launch of the Black Resilience Fund, an update on the Taft Home, and where poetry aficionados can get Picture Me Thriving, an anthology from the Word is Bond poetry workshop serving both young black men and law enforcement 

The Black Resilience Fund started during the pandemic to offer emergency relief to Black Portlanders. Now, the program is shifting to a guaranteed basic income model. The program is backed by the nonprofit Brown Hope. Organizers recently announced plans to support as many as 50 people with up to $2,000 per month over a three-year period. We'll hear from Brown Hope CEO Cameron Whitten about the intentions behind this new initiative and how the selection process will work.

Our guest for episode Ep 11 of Finding Community is Cameron Whitten, CEO of Brown Hope, a once all-volunteer nonprofit he founded in 2018 which now boasts over a dozen staff and manages the Black Resilience Fund, Blackstreet Bakery, and a variety of other programs. Cameron talks candidly about his own journey and experiences with racism and trauma, and offers insight on healing trauma, the effects of the pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, and the subsequent racial justice movement. He explains how Brown Hope is creating a healing community for racial justice, and he shares a powerful message of love and hope.Transcripts available here: https://bit.ly/Ep11_TranscriptsLearn more about Brown Hope at www.brownhope.orgLearn more about VAN and our initiatives:https://www.visionactionnetwork.orghttps://www.facebook.com/VisionActionNetwork/https://www.instagram.com/visionactionnetwork/This episode was produced by Glenn Montgomery for Vision Action Network.

After a decade of activism, Cameron Whitten is fired up and optimistic about Portland's future! Cameron's political activism journey began on the streets during the 2011 occupy movement where he emerged as a key influencer of a hunger strike that lasted over a month. In the years that followed, Cameron ran for Portland city mayor and has been an active participant in the Black Lives Matter movement since its inception. During the height of Portland protests in the Summer of 2020, Cameron was able to raise over a million dollars in private cash donations, which were then redistributed to Portland residents in need. This laid the foundation for Cameron's non-profit work with Black Resilience Fund and Brown Hope they are conducting today. After receiving the Skidmore Prize, The Willamette Week recently referred to Cameron as Portland's Non-Profit "Superstar" and along with those efforts, Cameron most recently ran a tough campaign for OR Metro District 5, with a platform centered around affordable housing and reparations for Oregon's black community.

Today on The Local:Your Quick 6 news headlines. BT Michaels is here to fill you in on the history of Record Store Day (happening this Saturday!)And, we have an interview with Andrea Walker from Beneficial State Bank with updates on the Black Resilience Fund.

Shea Couleé did say she came to slay, and she more than kept her word this season and most certainly in this finale. As is tradition, the Top 3 write thematic verses for a new Ru song and learn a whirlwind of choreography from Todrick Hall. But not before clearing an agenda of beefs with the eliminated queens who've returned for a mini reunion in the workroom (turns out, India was lying). All 10 queens bring their finale looks to the runway and we get a triple lip sync to Janelle Monáe that makes us feel good, if not a little dizzy from the edit (Good thing Mrs. Mateo is there to cheer the girls on!). And while Juju gave great mouth and Cracker distributed confusion from her breastplate, this lip sync, this episode, and this season were Shea's to win.

A wise drag queen once famously asked, “Where are the jokes?” Our final four attempted to answer that question in this week's stand up challenge that left us sitting quietly for much of it. Cracker got the most cackles of the night and Shea did okay. Juju was better on the runway than the mic, and Blair, to be fair, looked a little lost up there. Despite some poorly timed laryngitis, Jane Krakowski was a great warmup act for the queens as mentor/judge, and hardly choked as much as this lip sync. Did they just bring Kennedy back for S&Gs?

What's a family barbecue without drama, suspicion, tears and at least one very questionable exit? The top 5 are tasked to bring a main and a side to RuPaul's Backyard Barbecue Ball. Cracker is shuttlecocked to win the challenge, but it's Jujubee who continues to win our hearts in the workroom. We aren't quite ready to say “I do” to Shea's backyard bride, Blair isn't our pick of the picnic and Alexis Mateo sashays away in a shallow end to her time on this season. Roxxxy Andrews puts both asses in the word assassin and our pizza queen supreme taps her way into the Fingers of Drag Race hall of fame.

Love is in the air in Studio C in Simi Valley this week with another round of Snatch Game of Love! Alexis serves up a shady psychic, but couldn't have possibly seen the drama coming later when India channels her Snatch Game character to stir up trouble in the workroom with rumors of conspiracy against Shea. Meanwhile Juju continues to deliver Drag Race excellence with a hilariously direct Eartha Kitt, while giving good mouth and cat pictures in her confessionals. Plus: an unnecessary Lady Gaga, RuPaul feeling her oats in that dress, and Little Sister Vanessa popping up at the perfect time to potentially send her mother home.
