ALIST Consulting
Connecting community to inspire action and drive growth in small business.
Community Driven
ALIST was established in 2016 to connect BIPOC entrepreneurs to BIPOC professionals. By 2020, we specialized in marketing and business solutions for the fastest growing demographic of entrepreneurs, women of color. Investing in BIPOC owned businesses is a daily commitment and our core strategy to build equity in power and leadership in the world. Our flexible pay as-you-need model is key for the ebb and flow of an owner’s journey. With ALIST you get to work with entrepreneurs, who can plug-in at any time to bridge the gap to growth.
Happy Filipino Food Month!
Starting April 1, 2024, we’re excited to be a part of the organizing team bringing the first ever Filipino Food Tour to Oregon. We’ll share the bounty and diversity of Filipino cuisine with 16 locations from Beaverton to Troutdale! “Sobrang Sarap” (meaning very delicious in Tagalog) Filipino Food Tour extends 25-miles and each stop will highlight a distinct Filipino ingredient every week in April. We invite you to learn through our stories and taste the food that honors the cultural and culinary heritage that define our community. Join in the fun!
Introducing the First Filipino Food Tour in Oregon
26 entrepreneurs are uniting to bring over 60 dishes, drinks, and desserts to try. The month-long Filipino food tour will introduce diners to Filipinx-owned restaurants, food carts, pop-ups, cafes, hotel residencies, and non-profits. Try something you love? We hope you share with others to amplify us during Filipino Food Month. Tap the button to find a participating location near you.

Representation Matters
Often times women-owned businesses, and especially ones owned by women of color, aren’t the front page of mainstream media. It creates a feeling that it doesn’t exist, but in reality it’s one of the fastest growing demographics of entrepreneurs. Through the grace of local founders sharing their story with ALIST, we’re creating a place to read their stories. We hope they inspire another generation of entrepreneurs.
