Donovan Smith - Keep Portland Weird

Donovan Smith is a native Portlander doing big things in the area. You may know him from his clothing line Ignorant Reflection or the slogan "gentrification is weird". The idea started from a college project that he made with his friends that stemmed into him finding his own creative voice. He is a product of OpenSignal and other resources that have provided tools and experiences to young Black and Brown people in Portland. He is proud of his Portland roots and how "weird" it is, especially as a Black person. He explores topics and ideas from his experiences that resonate with others as well.
