Community is always the focus at Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) in North Portland.
“We wanted to create opportunities for Black vendors to come and sell their goods and be in front of the community again,” said Ibeth Hernandez, SEI s special events specialist.
In February, the emphasis is on Black History Month. This Saturday, just like last weekend, SEI will hold an outdoor market in the parking lot. Live music, food, and a place for businesses to get some exposure.
“We actually also have on our website a Black business directory,” said Hernandez. “There you will find a very extensive list of Black-owned businesses throughout the Portland area. You can support them by purchasing online directly from those vendors if you re unable to come to the market.”
