Our Mission + Vision

PDX Black Excellence is a community organization cultural movement to connect and support Portland’s black residents and advocates. Through select services and curated events we believe we can create a unique experience in Portland that fosters social and professional networking, new relationships, and new understanding. We believe that embracing diversity, from the scale of a city to a single Saturday night, is at the center of fostering new innovation, new business, new collaboration and new opportunity.

Our mission is to provide opportunities to bring both new and existing black Portlanders together in an inclusive, positive and enriching environment. Our vision is to promote cultural diversity and unity within Portland and inspire others everywhere to do the same in their own communities.
