It’s been two weeks since Circle V 2026, and we’re still riding the high from this delicious and vibrant celebration. None of it would have been possible without our wonderful community. Thank you for making magic happen!

Because of your incredible support, we were able to donate $4,600 between @equitablegivingcircle and @growinggardenspdx. To learn more about how you can continue to support their food equity and justice work within our communities, go to their websites.

We’re still soaking it all in, deeply grateful, and already inspired for next year! 💚

Lots of goodies on the Food Hub this week!

@sunrayblueberryfarm is back with enormous and flavor-packed blueberries “this is what blueberries should taste like!” according to our toddler-sized taste testers.

New potatoes, salad mix, summer squash, basil, golden beets… and so much more!

Don’t sleep on this kraut, people! A refreshing sandwich topping, on these hot summer days

‼️Update‼️ L8 night only this week starting at 9pm‼️. We’re bringing back Sunday Late Nights!

Last year @metlapil turned che; into a weekly hang with dinner, late-night snacks, karaoke, and a whole lot of folks who didn’t want the weekend to end.

Dinner. Drinks. Karaoke. Industry folks extending their shift drinks at our place. Friends bringing friends. People hanging around way later than they meant to.

We’re keeping that vibe alive with Summer Sundays at che;
A rotating lineup of chefs serving dinner from 6–9, followed by late-night snacks, drinks, and karaoke starting at 10.
Kicking things off with our friends @nosabopdx on July 12th (and ever other Sunday thru the summer)
Come for dinner. Stay for karaoke. Or just show up whenever.
Everyone’s invited. #SummerSundaysAtChe

Collabs that feel like 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Last Sunday’s @sidetracked_thebook Book Reading was so special I needed to break up these recaps. First, I want to thank Jessica and Robb for welcoming us into their special space @che.pdx and hosting us so beautifully🙏🏽

✨Assignment: An intimate gathering, with family and friends, to share personal testimony in a room full of love 💗

✨Vibe: Make it feel like we’re stepping into your home for garden-to-table vegetarian delights 🌱

Wow did they hit the 🎯

No notes.

This is also the spot that @laportenapdx Argentinian chimichurri is produced. Catering, Bar Tending, AV/Mic, Projector, Chairs, Tables, Flatware, Kitchen, and Event Venue. They do it all and make it look effortless🔥

Thank you @rachelelizabethartistry for attending and being the hand model in the video with this delicious drink Robb made for you 🥂

Thank you to all who also joined me for this special treat as I shared part of my story in celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month 💞

6 years is a long time 🦋

Especially after a pandemic, it’s been a time warp, but I finally feel ready to talk about this moment in my life.

Packing up a family of 4 and leaving the country in 2018 wasn’t easy, but I do think it saved my life. Meet my kids Jackson and Izzy. This story is just as much theirs as it is mine. We’ve been through a lot together. I can’t wait to share what got us to today. The moments that go beyond the book.

Jessica @laportenapdx and I decided to release more tickets if you’re interested in joining us at @che.pdx on Sunday. My family will be there too 💗

******************
When risking it all, in a quest to find joy in the art of living, comes at just the right time.

In the wake of Trump’s presidency, the #metoo movement, emboldened racism, gun violence rising, three layoffs in five years, and the height of commercialism, this successful ad executive has had enough. Spirit dampened, with mostly anger where there once was laughter, she risks it all in search of a more meaningful connection with herself, her family, and the world.

Set in her hometown of the PNW and the unfamiliar lands of Albania, she recounts her personal experience in an honest portrayal of self-discovery reflecting on mainstream American cultural norms and expectations. Knowing nothing about Tirana, Albania when she arrives, her observations of these two societies surface a new awakening. Get lost reading her intimate thoughts as she struggles to heal by hitting the reset button.

Tell your story ✨

I love helping others share their story. This year, I am committed to telling more of mine. My friends at @che.pdx are helping me turn back time and do my first public book reading and signing for @sidetracked_thebook that I published in 2020 during the pandemic. If you’re interested in joining, I’d love to see you there. All are welcome.

We’ll have yummy refreshments for you and I’ll be sharing excerpts from the book I started writing nearly 8 years ago and the impact it’s had on my life today. Getting the opportunity to share an honest and intimate life moment of rebuilding, in a room of folks it led me to, is pretty special.

@sidetracked_thebook is 100 days of journaling during a time of transition and healing. I had no idea it would later become my first book and set me on a path to really start ALIST. It will be a beautiful night at a sweet little spot in Portland.

Telling our stories is so important and I’m honoring that in celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month. It is never too late to start again 🦋

After lots of feedback from the community, this one is on a Sunday. Testing out doing events on the weekend.

My 1st Book Reading & Signing 📖

In the middle of a pandemic, I sent my first manuscript to be published on May 8, 2020. After a year and a half of writing and editing @sidetracked_thebook , it was done. But then the world shut down. Regardless, orders started shipping internationally on August 8, 2020. My “book signing” was done from my house via Instagram due to Covid. (Photo 1)☺️

Many of you know me for my work here, but do you know what preceded the Women Supporting Women (WSW) mindset? And do you know where ALIST really launched? Join me on Sunday, 5/17 and listen in as I share the moment everything shifted 🦋

My friend and owner of @che.pdx and @laportenapdx , Jessica Causey Viciconte, is helping me host my first public book reading. Seating is limited in this intimate setting. Swipe left to see this beautiful space. All proceeds go to women founders💞
