Isaiah Adeoye is the President of Emerging, a Portland nonprofit creating spaces for new and expecting parents to build community, find support, and feel less alone in the early years of family life.

A Portland-based creative director, cinematographer, husband, and father, Isaiah brings a deep belief in connection, storytelling, and real-life community to his work. He is also the founder of PDXDads, a dedicated meetup group for Portland-area fathers that began as a way to give dads a place to show up with their kids, connect with one another, and be reminded that they are not doing parenthood alone.

Through Emerging Parents, Isaiah is helping build welcoming, practical, and relationship-centered spaces for parents across Portland, with a special focus on making fatherhood more visible, celebrated, and supported.
