Hello foodie friends!

You are receiving this email because you’ve supported my previous creative endeavors, are a very cool individual, friend, and / or someone I’d like to be in orbit with.

Welcome to the first edition of PDXFUL!

Portland’s first hyper local newsletter dedicated to all things plant-based in Rose City. From where to eat, what’s happening, who’s doing cool things, and more. I’ll be sharing curated, favorite picks 2x per week. I aim to inspire, educate, connect, and celebrate what makes PDX great–through a plant-based lens.

If you too have been overwhelmed with how to make a difference in these quickly changing times, eating more produce and elevating veg stories, happenings, ideas, etc, is quite literally the #1 way to help mitigate climate change, build empathy, and (in my opinion) spark some dang joy.

My ask–add this email to your contacts / mark as “not spam” and share with a friend (or 3!) Even better? Reply back and wave hello!

Not your jam? No worries, you can unsubscribe in 1 click below!

As always and with gusto–

Stay hungry,
Hawnuh Lee
