Tough Shit is an onstage conversation about the most challenging questions Portlanders are facing. We’ll bring together four people with very different experiences of and perspectives on the city to talk about building things in Portland—businesses, organizations, attitudes, and even a whole neighborhood. The questions will be tough, and this shit will not be resolved in one night. We expect to leave with more questions than answers, plus some renewed hope for the future. And if not, well…

Our guests this time are JT Flowers, special advisor at Albina Vision Trust and a TriMet board member; Kayla Kennett, a poet and communicator for Portland nonprofits; Georgia Lee Hussey, founder and CEO of Modernist Financial; and Sankar Raman, founder of The Immigrant Story.

This event is presented in partnership with the Tomorrow Theater.
