Cultivating Culture BBQ and Garden Launch Party

On Saturday, the Black Parent Initiative held a "Cultivating Culture" BBQ and garden launch party outside their headquarters in NE Portland.

The event was an opportunity to spend the afternoon looking at health and nutrition through a culturally specific lens. There were workshops on gardening, self care vendors, food, live DJs and activities for kids and families.

The Cultivating Culture" BBQ and garden launch party was sponsored by Uber. Uber shared information on how to earn extra income as an Uber Driver-Partner and gave interested attendees the opportunity to begin the driver on boarding process on site.
