OCTOBER 2025 | THE ART & SOUL ISSUE
blxck art, blxck soul
The "Art & Soul" issue is dedicated to igniting unity and providing true representation for the Black community in Portland, with a vision to build economic independence and a lasting global legacy.
The publication, described by its publisher as a movement and a foundation, focuses on highlighting the city's scholars, innovators, and fearless community leaders. Key features include a powerful cover story on "The Unfading Echo of Albina" and the Albina Music Trust's efforts to preserve the neighborhood's resilient Black history against a backdrop of gentrification.
The issue also profiles inspiring figures such as DJ O.G.ONE, ConnectHer founder Ericka Elliott, and Brett Hollins of the Side Door Foundation, all of whom embody rhythm, purpose, and turning setbacks into second chances for the community.
THE HUSTLE SEPTEMBER 2025
BLXCK Magazine’s September 2025 Issue No. 03 is a celebration of legacy, leadership, and community power. From the basketball courts where Mike Lee and Samuel Thompson are redefining success through character and integrity, to the cultural hubs of Black Futures Farm, Stackin Kickz, and the Play No Games Podcast, this issue shines a light on the people shaping Portland’s present and future. Readers will find stories of resilience from icons like Tony Hopson Sr. and Alex Green, creative innovation from iTechnically Kan, and the soulful purpose of Chef Purpose. Together, these narratives remind us that our roots, our vision, and our voices are what carry us forward.
“Now, I just want to fulfill God’s calling—love and serve people the way He intended. If I can do that, I’ll have lived a fruitful, purposeful life.”
