On Saturday April 18, The Mixer came together for an evening centered around one idea: intentional resilience.Hosted by @themixerbywksocial, this was more than just a networking event—it was a space for real stories, meaningful conversations, and genuine connection across Portland’s community, workforce, and culture.Led by voices like Jordyn Jenkins @jordynmichelle___ , Zanele Mutepfa Rhone @itszanele , Marvin Young @kelz_dad , Mikey Vegaz @fliboimv , James Metoyer @enercitycollab , Jocelyn Rice @jocelynr.rice , Commissioner Vince Jones-Dixon @vincejonesdixon , Anyeley Hallová @adre.dev , and Alando Simpson @cor_disposalandrecycling, the room was filled with people building, leading, and creating impact in their own lanes.Through storytelling, panels, and intentional networking, the focus remained clear: economic mobility, community safety, and creating pathways for people to thrive—personally and professionally.Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared their story, and contributed to the energy in the room. This is what it looks like when a community moves with purpose.Powered by @wksocial | Presented by @blackunitedfundor !! 💐 | thanks to all of our sponsors and collaborators. We are grateful because you made this possible! 📍 The Evergreen, Portland, Oregon Photographers: thanks to @evanluecke1 @deanarthurbechard and @anthonyjordaniii for being our in/house photographers at the mixer. #TheMixer #IntentionalResilience #PortlandEvents #PDXCommunity #CommunityFirst NetworkingEvent by @wilsoninspiration

They say “real G’s move in silence like lasagna,” and we are not sure if this advice includes announcing a pop up mixer just a day before, or if it’s totally irresponsible:)Join us after “Vision to Venture: Entrepreneur Pitch Competition” for a social hour to mix and network. Shout out to Black United Fund of Oregon and its Emerging Entrepreneur Program. When: Thursday May 28. Time: 5:30pm - 8pm Where: @thedownbeatbar Send to someone who needs to be “In Good Company” like The Mixer - @themixerbywksocial 💐See you tomorrow! Shout out to @thedownbeatbar for accommodating. ____#themixer #themixerbywksocial #networking #portland by @wilsoninspiration
