John Washington⎜Deliberation

John Washington (@flossinmedia) joins us on the PDX Black Rose Podcast for the second time. We had a powerful conversation while sharing some of the similarities and differences between systemic racism back in the day, and how it looks now, especially in the middle of a pandemic. John is the editor and chief of Flossin Media, the host of the Black Beat Podcast that takes an unapologetically Black approach to each discussion for a deep dive into the core issues that have historically divided us all. Along with that, John is also the President of the Soul District Business Association, a physical and virtual collective - promoting initiatives, programs, and spaces that bolster the economic opportunity and well-being of Portland's African-American community.
