Today, we celebrated the newly rebuilt basketball court and soccer field at Harriet Tubman Middle School, made possible with support from Portland Fire & Rescue and RAJ Sports. 🫶🏽

If you’ve been to Good in the Hood, you know this space well. We use the park and fields each summer, and we’ve long hoped to see the court and field renewed for the community.

Our President, Quisha Light, worked with Sania Thomas of the Portland Fire to help make that happen. Quisha also had the honor of saying a few words at today’s ribbon cutting as we celebrated alongside members of our community.

We’re excited to see these spaces being used and enjoyed again! 💜💙💛

Vendor Spotlight: ✨Heavenly Host✨

A Good in the Hood favorite is back for another year.
You know the one. The line is long, they sell out fast, and people are already planning their first stop at the festival.

For many attendees, a trip through the Food Court isn't complete without a stop at Heavenly Host. For nearly 15 years, they've been serving up their Original Fish on a Stick, and people keep coming back for more.

One thing you might not know? Heavenly Host gives young people an opportunity to gain real work experience by helping staff the booth each year.

For owner John Frazier, being part of Good in the Hood is about community.

"It means I'm a part of the community. I care about the community and that small Black businesses can be lucrative."

Be sure to stop by and grab the Original Fish on a Stick before they're sold out.

📍 Lillis Albina Park
🗓June 27–28
🕛 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Is Heavenly Host one of your first stops at the festival? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️

✨Announcing our 2026 Good in the Hood Parade Grand Marshal: Dr. Robin Beavers✨

Born and raised in Northeast Portland, Dr. Robin has dedicated over 25 years to empowering youth, building communities, and creating opportunities for future generations.

A proud graduate of Portland Public Schools, her leadership journey has included roles with Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI), Portland State University, Warner Pacific University, Trillium Family Services, and the Portland Timbers, where she currently serves as Senior Vice President of Community and Social Impact.

Today, Dr. Robin continues to serve on the boards of Portland State University and POIC, strengthening her ongoing commitment to the community.

As a longtime supporter of Good in the Hood, this honor comes full circle. From attending the festival with her family for years to marching in the parade alongside her sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., she understands the power of bringing people together to celebrate culture, community, and legacy.

Now, she will help lead one of Portland's most cherished community traditions as the 2026 Good in the Hood Parade Grand Marshal.

Join us at the parade to cheer on Dr. Robin and help kick off a weekend dedicated to Roots, Rhythm & Power. 💜💙💛
