Wednesday! 2/2⁠ @jackiespdx⁠ ⁠ "To kick off Black History Month we have partnered with Denise Williams, a licensed CADC III counselor, to bring you her famous Trap Cake! Retired after a 28yr career she has turned to providing counseling at no cost for community members with low to no income. A need she was inspired to fill as she saw how Covid took a toll on the mental health of community members. She currently uses proceeds from the sale of her now famous TRAP CAKE to help subsidize cost for those seeking help. ⁠ On our menu for the entire month is her Trap Cake, a butterscotch pound cake, Molasses Whip & Brûléed Orange. With ALL proceeds going to Denise and her practice. Follow her on Instagram @confrontingthestorm or donate directly via Vemno: @ItsDeniseW "⁠ ⁠ #pdx #blackexcellence #portland #blacklivesmatter #pdxblackexcellence
