OUR PODCAST

Welcome to PDX Business Spotlight, a podcast by YouthVenture! YouthVenture is a youth-led nonprofit organization aimed at supporting BIPOC families. Our goal is to spotlight BIPOC-owned small businesses in the Portland & Beaverton area, and share their story with the world!

Currently, we are publishing episodes of our podcast, PDX Business Spotlight, where we spotlight local BIPOC-owned businesses in the Portland/Beaverton area! What started as a mission to increase awareness for local businesses in our community has accumulated into 4 seasons, featuring over 35 exquisite stories of local BIPOC business owners, including their journeys, struggles, and triumphs. Listen to PDX Business Spotlight to learn more about the pandemic's impacts on local businesses and the difficulties each business owner overcame on their journey to success. Within the 4 seasons we have spotlighted a variety of businesses, featuring a variety of products, from food to clothing to selfcare and beyond. Please consider shopping from these local businesses and supporting them in any way possible.
