The Blacktastic Adventure is an ongoing interview series that explores Oregon's Black diaspora. In this episode, I speak with Joy Alise Davis.
About Joy Alise:

She is the founder of the award-winning firm, Design + Culture Lab, and is an Associate Professor at Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA). Currently, Joy Alise serves as the Executive Director of Imagine Black, where she works to help our Black community imagine the alternatives they deserve and build political participation to achieve those alternatives.

When Joy Alise gets a seat at the table, she swiftly dismantles the old furniture and makes room for a more inclusive space led by Black and Indigenous folks.
