The heart, channel & visionary behind The Crystal Ball is CC Barber. With her bachelor’s degree of science in nursing, professional background as an event director & connection to the arts through film & television, CC is a mentor, guide, maker, designer, new age thought leader & sacred space holder for the multifaceted. 

She is recognized for her superpower of activating & then actualizing the most practical kinds of magic within the mundane. This local, Portland-born, single momma, BIPOC, woman-owned, micro biz maven knows firsthand the struggles & imbalances women currently face as emerging leaders in the event & business worlds. In addition to the realities of systemic oppression, her 14-year entrepreneurial journey has encountered reoccurring growth inhibition from unreachable overheads, combined with various other barriers to entry, despite the romanticism of Portland as a city with a suitable ecosystem for producing THRIVING creatives & start-ups.

AND… this has served as the fuel behind her fire for innovative solutioning as the foundation for achieving & inspiring not only successful outcomes but ones that simultaneously curate & build rich, elevated communities that may not otherwise be. CC attributes this to the key component of symbiosis & the limitless magic available when the process requires a path only reachable by arriving there from choosing to do so TOGETHER.

The best way to connect with CC is to attend a PCS community partnership event with The Crystal Ball series or follow her over on Instagram @ccbarber.co.

To stay in the know with upcoming Crystal Ball events or inquire about sponsorships, artist applications, or volunteer opportunities, you can email thecrystalballmagic@gmail.com or follow their Instagram @thecrystalball.co.

Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
