Episode 1 (PILOT):
Power of Place - Portland, OR
In this premiere episode, Devin Boss explores the place he calls home: Portland, Oregon. Here, he connects with multidisciplinary artist Intisar Abioto, originally from Memphis, TN, whose groundbreaking curation of 69 Pacific Northwest creatives at Oregon’s largest museum has reshaped Portland’s cultural landscape. A city icon, Intisar’s original work and unmistakable charm have propelled her onto TEDx stages and into the heart of the community. From there, Boss explores Albina Vision Trust, the most ambitious restorative redevelopment project in the country. With billions raised, this historic initiative is set to transform Portland’s gentrified Black epicenter—so much so that the city will need to create an entirely new ZIP code to accommodate its growth.
This premiere episode challenges the notion of merely getting by, and instead envisions true prosperity—that includes but isn’t limited to financial wealth. Through powerful conversations and groundbreaking efforts, Boss uncovers a rising movement in his home city, offering a vision of what’s possible for Black communities everywhere.
