Our talented alumna ran the night at Soul of the City! ✨
Trysta Krick brought the energy, insight, and confidence that made the night unforgettable as she led our conversation on stage. Known for her work across radio, podcasting, and sports commentary, we knew she was the perfect person to help lead the night.
Thank you, for sharing your voice and coming home to spend a special evening with us! 🏙️🩵
The special guests kept coming to Soul of the City! 🙌🏾
We were honored to welcome SEI alumna Sekai Abeni. She graduated from The Juilliard School with a BFA in Acting. She’s built a remarkable career as an actress across film, television, and stage. You may recognize her as a series regular on Paper Girls, starring alongside Ali Wong, or from the feature film The Long Game with Oscar-nominated actors Kathleen Turner and Jackie Earl Haley, which earned her a Rising Star from Essence Magazine and Best Actress at the 2025 Harlem Film Festival. Beyond acting, Sekai is a visionary Director and Creative Producer whose work spans global brands such as Gatorade, Greg Yuna, and NPR's Tiny Desk.
We are incredibly proud to see Sekai continue to shine and represent Portland and the SEI community so well. 🤎✨

This Sunday, we celebrate SEI senior and Roosevelt High School’s Rose Festival Princess Jasmin Reyes Contreras. 👑
