Today we want to spotlight Jennie, a storyteller we met through Community Vision. ZP had the pleasure of spending several days with Jennie learning about the empowering experience that moving into a place of her own has been.

“It’s important to provide affordable housing to Oregonians who experience disability because it is their right,” says Anna Keenan-Mudrick, Executive Director of Community Access Services (CAS). Jennie was receiving support from CAS when she expressed that she wanted to live on her own. CAS was quick to connect Jennie with Community Vision and help make that dream a reality. Today, Jennie lives in a single-bedroom apartment where she has easy access to public transportation and community events, but most importantly, she has the freedom to live her most authentic life.

We’re grateful every day that we get to meet natural storytellers like Jennie, who are continuously helping us see the world from new perspectives. We’d like to thank Jennie for opening the conversation about the outstanding need for affordable housing, particularly among our friends experiencing disability.

The entire ZP team looks forward to watching what Jennie conquers next!

As AAPI heritage month comes to a close, it’s important to remember the troubling history Portland has had with Asian American and Pacific Islander relations. The “Torii Gates” shrine located at the Portland Expo Center serves as a memorial for the 3,500 Japanese prisoners who were temporarily housed there before being placed in internment camps during WWII. The “Torii Gates” sculpture was designed by Portland artist, Valerie Otani. Each metal tag represents an individual incarcerated at the Expo Center. “It was very important to her that these stories were preserved and made known,” says Kenji Spielman, son of Valerie Otani. These stills come from a project we worked on last year where we spoke with Valerie Otani’s son about the importance of keeping the conversation of Asian history in America going.
