On this episode of Run Up the Numberz we’ll be featuring our interview with Rashaunda Brooks of YGB Portland and vocalist and host Dani B.

Y.G.B. is described as more than just a Party it's a Community.

They pull people together to get down, celebrate each other and honor all things YOUNG,GIFTED and BLACK/BROWN.

The mission is to create spaces of joy and healing for the Black and Brown community of Portland OR. The collaborative is Pro-Black, Pro-Femme, Pro-Queer and centers those identities at every event. YGB believes that liberation will come from art, self-love and community.

This conversation took place right before the 3 day My Peoples Market event on August 5th.
