EmpowerHer Pop-Up

In collaboration with XB Community/ Black Portland, St. Andrew Nativity School, local artists, former elected politicians, Forge Yoga Studio, and more, will create an interactive space prompting and celebrating women and girls.

During the month of March, women, girls, and allies will gather at Shiekh Shoes for a celebration of Women’s History Month. This initiative, aligning with Women’s History Month, is set to honor women's achievements, preserving their stories, and promoting greater understanding and appreciation of women's roles in shaping history and society. Our aim is to cultivate an environment for girls and women to learn, build, and create long lasting fellowships.

On March 30th, SHIEKH Shoes concludes Women’s History Month with a popup market featuring local women-owned businesses. Attendees can support these enterprises and access resources from the Black Parent Initiative/Healthy Birth Initiative. This event celebrates female entrepreneurship and community engagement, fostering prosperity and inclusivity. Join SHIEKH Shoes in honoring Women’s History Month while supporting local businesses  and vital community initiatives.
