I live in Beaverton - in a house with a neighborhood park as my backyard. I live with my husband, our 18 year old twin girls and our dog. I'm a parent, partner, community member, and nonprofit volunteer and professional. I'm white, short, and have dark hair that has always been out of control but lately is becoming more and more gray. Emotions feel hard and I like to disappear into the background - especially when I feel unseen.

I AM
Hannah Star
I'm 32 Years Old.
I was born and raised in Beaverton and after years in California, I am back living here as an adult. I am a want to be home owner. I live in an apartment with my multiracial partner, my two multi racial children, two 4 month old puppies, 2 cats (1 of which has no eyes). I am white, naturally blonde but currently a red head, grey eyed, tall female. I love to dance and listen to music but wish I got to do it more. I used to say I was too strong to cry but then age helped me understand that there is strength in tears. I am a huge lover of Star Wars and enjoy dressing up and attending conventions with my family. I love cows and red tail hawks and love all animals. I love cycling. I love fresh cut flowers but hate Christmas trees. I am mostly timid when confronted with conflict and I am working on finding my voice in those moments. I am working on finding what I want and acting on what I want without always being so concerned of others. I know I have a voice and ideas that are valuable. All of this is who I am...

AND I AM SO MUCH MORE!

I live in a townhouse in Beaverton, Oregon with my cat Levi. He tests my patience sometimes, but has been the best quarantine buddy! I'm the granddaughter/daughter of refugees and am so proud of the courage they had to leave their home for a different life in the United States.  I'm a white female with blonde hair and blue eyes. I'm tall, but don't always feel that I am.  My family is what keep me grounded and they bring me so much joy, especially my niece and nephew.  The sound of water is my favorite thing to listen to: whether it's ocean waves, pounding rain or a soft spring.  All of this is who I am...

And I am so much more!

I am Yvett. I am she/her/ella/mama/and mija. I am from the desert with hot wind and now live in the cool rain of the PNW. I am married and have two kids...these three people complete my corazon. I am fluent in Spanglish even though I was raised with a "one language per sentence rule". I am outspoken but kind. I like to cook and watch movies. I am ready to get back to "normal" yet at the same time not ready to be around people. A way that I don't fit in to a norm is that I don't buy into diet culture and don't think that people's figures are a sign of moral failures.....yet I've about diets and "being bad" re eating EVERY single day of my adult work life. I'm probably the funniest person I know and can crack myself up. And I am so much more...

I am 35 years old. I have a wife and  two teenage daughters. I love gardening and spending time out doors. I have naturally curly hair which I have learned to love. I own too many shoes and I love watching movies but cry at almost anything. I try to be strong for everyone else and take pride in bringing my best self to every interaction. I love the rain, oddly it motivates me to clean! All of this is who I am...

And I am so much more.

Tammy
I'm 53 years old.
I'm the mother of four children. I have been a 4th grade teacher, a group fitness instructor, a school volunteer, an adult ESL tutor, a taekwondo school owner, and an elementary librarian. I used to love to cook and quilt and hike and sing and work in my yard. I am trying to figure out what I still love and what it's time to let go of. I am a woman of faith that informs my journey to be an ally. I am an overachiever and a go-big-or-go-homer who is trying to let go of perfectionism and recognize it as a tool of white supremacy. I am a student. I am a teacher. I am a daughter. I am a mother.

AND I AM SO MUCH MORE.

I'm Stephanie a dynamic age Black woman. I live in Beaverton, Oregon with my husband, daughter. I have an awesome adult son who lives on his own. I'm Black with Black Hawk and Cherokee running through my veins. My hair is brown, my eyes are brown, my skin is brown. I am beautifully brown. I'm not tall but I'm tall enough to reach great heights against so many odds. Music and dance bring me out of sadness. Teaching young children keeps me strong and resilient. My children strengthen me to keep moving even when I cry or feel discouraged. I am a beautiful Black woman who worships God and the all the wonders created by Her. I am a mother, teacher, friend, and sister. All of this is who I am.....

AND I AM SO MUCH MORE. DON'T BELIEVE ME--JUST WATCH!

I go by all three. I am 26 years old, and I have lived in Oregon my whole live. I have never lived outside of Portland Metro, and I have seen it transform and acknowledge its deep scars in my lifetime. I am a cisgendered white female, I am able bodied, but I live with a hidden illness that people can't see. I tend to be in some form pain most of the time, whether it is an ache here or an ache there. But just because my body is wired different, it means I am mentally as well as physically strong. My body is just a little louder, that's all. I moved out of my parents when I was 22, and I live in my own tiny little apartment (which I call a Nest). I travelled (alone) to Europe after I graduated college, and made new friends and relationships that have lasted ever since.

I love to cook, I LOVE to eat good food, I love flavors from around the world. I've got love handles, a stomach, and thighs that show that I am not hungry - and I love every inch of them!

I hope to travel, but as a homebody, I don't mind being at home. Alone. I enjoy my own company. I love that about myself.

AND I LOVE/AM SO MUCH MORE!

Kelly
I'm 47 YEARS OLD.
I live in a medium size house in Beaverton, Oregon. I live with my husband, one son (the other lives at college) and our 3 month old dog Stella. I'm a White Anti-Racist teacher. I have brown hair, brown eyes and am rather short: I am told- but whose to say?- I feel tall!  I also love music, music you wouldn't believe and I won't share here. I don't like to cry but if I am alone in my car it might happen. The rain makes me sad and the sun brings me memories and a peace like nothing else. All of this is who I am....

AND I AM SO MUCH MORE.
