August is Black Owned Business Month! We're proud to celebrate the diversity of our community, and we have a few recommendations to make too... One of our favorite black-owned businesses in Portland is @mimi’sfreshtees, Mimi's Fresh Tees PDX (mimisfreshteespdx.com). Owned by Kamelah Adams, a mother and designer who turned her personal experience with systemic racism into a clothing company dedicated to sparking conversations with clothing emblazoned with bold statements. When it’s time to figure out what’s for dinner, we recommend checking out iloveblackfood.com, a directory of Portland’s Black-Owned restaurants. Supporting local businesses supports a more vibrant community for all. #wellbeingforall

Air Quality Alert: While remembering to breathe in mindful way is usually a good idea, the more than 100 wildfires currently burning in the area makes that practice challenging right now. The Environmental Protection Agency offers a handy, user-friendly way to monitor air quality with its Air Now app: airnow.gov Managing the air quality inside your home can help. Keep windows and doors closed if you can, and avoid burning candles, fireplaces, or gas stoves. The Oregon Health Authority also recommends avoiding smoking, and avoiding vacuuming, both of which add more particulates to your air. #wellbeingforall
