Personally, I haven't noticed anything about an 'appropriation' problem/protest in the area. Sounds like a circle jerk among a close knit group of whiners...
Maybe this black blondie should take stock in the reality that blacks only make up around 6.1% of the Portland population. Heck, there are more Asians here. Up next week: Portland ignores the plight of Aleut's wanting to get married.

I noticed that she does seem to gent bent out of shape pretty easy, at least based upon her 'woke-wedding' article.I'm not sure what to make of it. Fake news, clickbait ?
It seems that she is sincere about it, given her other articles on being "woke", and "womanist weddings" (whatever that means).

She employed a wedding planner but decries that everything is geared to the 'rich'. Hum...didn't have a wedding planner myself, as we weren't going for blowing a huge wad on a wedding.Like any brand-new blushing bride to be, the second I got engaged I dove headfirst into the internet to search for local wedding vendors—and it didn’t take long to notice all the brides looked the same. Don’t get me wrong; Portland is a great place to plan a wedding—as long as you’re petite, blonde, wealthy, and white. But on social media and throughout the bridal industry it’s almost as if non-white or fat brides don’t exist.
