The AfroVillage is more than a place, it’s a movement! Let folks know with this

The AfroVillage is more than a physical space

It’s a Movement. Rooted in the vision of Portland community member and activist Laquida Landford “Q“, the movement focuses on addressing the needs of our most vulnerable population — unhoused individuals — with a focus on racial disparities and inequalities. Through her initiatives and events, including Old Town Fresh in Downtown Portland, Laquida provides a variety of critical services to community members and has started important conversations around fundamental basic needs such as hygiene and sanitation, food scarcity, mental and physical health, and safety during COVID-19.
