A
A
Well,
the
most
exciting
part
of
this
work
is
to
is
the
opportunity
to
work
with.
You
know,
leaders,
and
we
have
some
of
the
smartest
practitioners
and
leaders
in
our
community.
That's
going
to
come
on
the
stage
right
now
to
really
again
talk
about
these
tough
issues.
Talk
about
how
do
we
begin
to
think
about
implementing
the
strategies
that
you
guys
just
heard
so
I'm
going
to
call
them
out
one
by
one
and
we're
going
to
start
off
with
the
president
and
CEO
of
bridging
the
gap,
development,
Derek,
Tillman.
A
A
A
A
A
We
don't
want
to
go
over
too
far,
so
we're
going
to
kind
of
just
jump
in
with
Derek
we're
going
to
start
off
with
Derek,
and
you
know
you
you're
familiar
with
the
report
you're
on
the
ground
every
day
as
a
developer
and
you're
working
in
the
communities
that
we
all
care
about,
it
that
we're
all
trying
to
impact
so
as
it
relates
to
inclusive
development.
Can
you
give
us
an
example
of
what
you
see
as
an
inclusive
development
project?
A
B
Absolutely
so,
as
I
think
about
this
question,
I
kind
of
have
to
reflect
first
on
my
life
because
answering
it
really
comes
a
lot
from
my
personal
experience.
I
always
tell
the
story
when
I
graduated
from
college
I
couldn't
find
a
job
and
I
was
very
frustrated
because
I
felt
like
I
had
did
everything
I
was
told
to
do.
Went
to
school,
got
good
grades.
B
So
we
started
with
raising
the
bar
on
design,
really
designing,
affordable
housing
to
look
like
market
rate,
but
beyond
that
raising
the
bar
on
construction.
So
we
have
an
awesome
building.
Then
we
reached
out
to
the
Energy
Innovation
Center
to
partner,
to
do
a
customized
training
program
to
really
prepare
our
residents
going
beyond
the
building.
But
how
can
we
also
build
up
the
people
to
prepare
our
residents
for
a
21st
century
job?
So
we
designed
the
customized
training
program.
B
Soft
skills,
financial
literacy
just
was
able
to
form
a
collaboration
with
coral,
so
they'll
also
be
doing
a
training
similar
that
they
did
for
me
for
the
residents
absolutely
so
we
have
this
awesome
training
program.
Then.
Finally,
we
I
went
out
and
I
recruited
36
employers
to
line
up
job
opportunities
for
one
of
our
36
residents.
So
what
have
we
done?
We
have
created.
We
are
creating
an
awesome
building,
a
great
customized
training
program,
that's
culturally
relevant
to
our
residents
and
we're
also
paired
out
with
the
job.
So
I
look
at
that
same
opportunity.
B
A
Just
a
very
brief
follow-up
question,
because
you
know
we
work
with
a
lot
of
developers
and
I've
worked
with
developers
for
years
and
we
know
there's
a
cost.
You
know
to
putting
putting
that
extra,
you
know,
effort
in
and
the
training
programs
etc.
You
know
how
do
you
overcome
those
challenges
of
you
know
just
basically
the
additional
cost
sure.
B
So
we
were
able
to
build
into
our
budget
costs
for
supportive
services
and
that's
really
how
we
approached
it.
How
can
we
implement
and
incorporate
a
robust
training
program-
and
you
know
in
this
case,
with
the
nine
percent
stock
tax
credits,
we
were
able
to
kind
of
build
that
into
our
overall
cost.
So.
A
I
think
a
key
to
that
point
is:
it
is
really
a
matter
of
prioritizing
prioritizing
the
resources,
maybe
there's
a
little
less
just
slightly
less
profit
but
prioritizing
the
resources
you
can
get
it
done.
So
that's
that's
very
inspiring
man
we're
going
to
go
to
Rosa
Maria
as
the
executive
director
of
the
Latino
Family
Center,
and
you
guys
work
obviously
with
the
growing
Latino
community
in
Pittsburgh
talk
a
little
bit
about
real
briefly.
How
do
you
build
the
bridges
to
the
immigrant
and
Latino
community
and
the
black
community
and
how
is
progress
being
made.
C
We're
here,
like
raising
our
hand,
we're
here
and
so
I
think
I'm
hopeful
that
that's
come
across
now
and
so
now
the
conversation
is:
how
can
we
partner?
How
can
we
collaborate
with
now
all
groups
here
in
Pittsburgh
and
I?
Think
where
we're
at
right
now
is
simply
raising
awareness
of
what
are
the
similar
challenges
that
we
have
and
the
difference
is
right
and
so
finding
common
ground.
A
lot
of
immigrant
leaders
have
been
trying
to
focus
on
that.
C
How
do
we
find
common
ground
with
our
neighbors
here
and
support
each
other
in
that,
while
also
raising
awareness,
that
is
the
language
barrier,
is
not
something
that
is
minimal.
It's
actually
a
really
big
hill
mountain
that
we
have
to
climb,
and
the
response
that
we
have
gotten
from
our
neighbors
here
in
Pittsburgh
is
first
like
wow.
We
had
no
idea
and
then
the
second
response
is:
how
can
we
help
you
so
I
I
would
say
that
that's
where
we're
at
right
now
in
the
innovating
and
finding
solutions
to
work
together.
Just.
A
C
C
We
need
to
see
more
space,
speaking
individuals
being
hired
at
all
levels
of
an
organization
and
in
all
systems,
hospitals,
schools
everywhere
we
need
to
the
community-
needs
to
see
itself
in
the
places
that
they
go
and
then
just
we
were
talking
about
this
earlier,
not
necessarily
putting
us
in
silos
right
but
making
sure
that
there's
more
an
infusion
of
of
immigrant
groups
working
with
Steeler
fans,
I
mean
we
there's
so
many
things
that
we
have
in
comments,
so
not
necessarily
putting
us
in
silos
but
finding
ways
that
we
can
actually
work
together.
Fantastic.
A
D
In
our
community,
the
Hill
District,
which
is
located
in
the
heart
of
Pittsburgh
right
between
downtown
and
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
or
university
district
of
Oakland,
which
is
also
rasiya
meal,
is
located.
I
would
say,
which
means
that
it
strategically
located
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
work
in
bricks
and
mortar
community
development
every
day
strategically
located
for
economic
development
and
for
connections
to
broader
markets.
D
What
what?
What
community
development
that
is?
Equitable
looks
like
to
me
is
community
centered
planning
and
the
Hill
District
came
together
several
years
ago
to
establish
a
greater
Hill
District
master
plan,
which
deals
with
a
broad
span
of
you
know:
human-centered
issues,
arts,
education,
you
know
brick
and
mortar
everything,
and
so
that's
the
first
step
and
making
sure
that
that
process
is
inclusive,
including
residents
leaders,
preferably
government,
preferably
the
philanthropic
community.
D
If
there
is
one
so
that
it
can
be
taught
not
just
to
the
people
but
to
the
capital
for
implementation,
and
then
I'd
say
that
a
community
level
review
of
development
coming
into
the
community
is
critical
and
we
have
been
fortunate
to
implement
what
we
call
the
development
review
panel,
which
is
a
table
of
residents
who
review
developments
that
are
coming
into
the
community.
Derrick's
project
did
successfully
go
through
that
process,
so
congratulations
again
Derek,
but
what
that
does
is
it
brings
developed.
D
It
takes
development
from
being
completely
downtown
centered
and
really
brings
it
into
the
community
so
that
the
residents
one
can
notify
other
residents
about
what's
happening,
but
also
so
that
we
can
align
the
development
with
our
master
plan
and
I'd
say
three
developers
need
to
do
what
they
say.
They're
going
to
do
and
I
realize
that
you
know,
there's
there
aren't
endless
dollars
to
implement
development
projects,
but
you
know:
Derek's
project
is
an
example
of
how
resources
can
be
allocated
differently,
but
still
a
successful
development
can
be
reached
and
I.
Think.
D
E
A
Obviously,
the
Pittsburgh
Foundation
has
been
a
tremendous
supporter
of
not
only
neighbor
and
allies.
Many
of
you
in
the
room
and
I
know
a
lot
of
these
issues
are
near
and
dear
to
the
Pittsburgh
Foundation.
You've
recently
launched
the
one
hundred
percent
Pittsburgh,
and
certainly
it
has
an
eye
toward
alleviating
poverty,
but
I'd
like
to
get
some
feedback
from
you
in
terms
of
how
this
aligns
the
equitable
development
work
and
the
strategies
being
recommended
aligns
with
the
Pittsburgh
Foundation
and
the
one
hundred
percent
Pittsburgh
agenda.
A
F
You
and
good
morning,
everybody
well
I
work
for
the
community
foundation.
I
actually
have
probably
the
best
job
in
the
world,
although
my
colleagues
might
argue
that
they
do,
but
I
give
away
money
for
a
living,
so
it's
kind
of
a
perfect
world.
But
two
and
a
half
years
ago
we
looked
at
our
70
year
old
community
foundation
with
over
two
thousand
individual
funds
about
half
of
those
with
living
donors,
and
we
began
to
wonder
how
can
we
have
an
impact,
and
out
of
that
came
an
organizing
principle.
F
We
call
one
hundred
percent
Pittsburgh,
our
president
and
CEO
max
King.
Does
this
so
much
better
than
I
do,
but
it
means
essentially
the
thirty
percent
of
our
families,
our
friends,
our
neighbors
are
not
able
to
take
full
advantage
of
this
new
prosperity
that
we
see
here
in
the
community
and
that's
just
wrong,
and
so,
as
we
tried
to
figure
out
what
role
a
community
foundation
might
have,
we
began
with
well.
What
do
we
believe
in
and
we
identified
three
values
that
are
part
of
our
work.
F
The
first
is
equity,
which
we
define
as
racial
equity.
It
means
to
us
resources
follow,
need
we
identified
voice
and
I
was
so
happy
to
see
voice
in
the
report
as
well.
It
means
that
we
ask,
we
don't
tell
it
means
that
the
greatest
source
of
wisdom
about
what
the
context
is
that
causes
poverty
comes
from
the
people
with
lived
experience.
We
are
not
experts.
F
We
like
to
work
with
leaders
in
the
community,
but
these
three
things
together:
racial
equity
voice
and
curve,
Roger,
now
Framing
everything
we
do
and
what
that
means
in
practical
matters
in
this
wonderful
city,
where
we
have
so
much
philanthropy,
we
are
so
fortunate
to
be
here,
but
we're
kind
of
small
and
nimble
compared
to
some
of
our
larger
colleagues.
So
we
really
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
the
kind
of
bricks
and
mortar
work
that
many
of
my
colleagues
here
do.
F
F
So
I
don't
know
what
that
means,
but
to
understand
how
much
courage
it
takes
for
a
mother
and
a
father
trying
to
raise
a
family
on
what
cannot
be
described
in
any
way,
but
an
obscene
amount
of
money
that
constitutes
the
poverty
level
from
a
federal
standpoint,
their
courage
to
show
up
every
day
and
do
the
best
they
can
is
humbling.
For
me,
we
operate
in
a
community
where
people
are
still
willing
to
come
out,
speak
the
truth
to
power
and
fight
for.
What's
right
and
that's
what
I
do
every
day,
wow.
A
F
F
F
Fairly
simple
right:
we
started
a
program
this
year
called
small
and
mighty,
and
it
was
designed
specifically
for
organizations
that
had
never
received
a
grant
and
we
figured
well
what
could
be
the
barrier.
So
we
asked
well
to
begin
with.
Our,
for
our
questions
are
ridiculous.
The
paperwork
you
have
to
fill
out
is
a
burden.
F
Nobody
ever
talks
to
me.
We
heard
all
they
do
is
hand
me
a
form
to
fill
out.
So
for
this
grand
sport
we
just
throw
all
that
stuff
out
and
we
got
47
brand
new
applications
of
grassroots
organizations
meeting
the
basic
needs
of
vulnerable
populations
in
our
community
and,
as
we
were
reviewing
these
grants,
we
looked
at
each
other
and
the
word
I
that
comes
to
mind
is
shame.
We
were
ashamed
that
this
was
what
it
took.
We
are
going
to
knock
those
walls
down
now
I
work
for
the
community
foundation.
F
A
A
Councilman
lavelle
you've
certainly
been
a
champion
around
affordable
housing
and
inclusion
for
many
years
now
again,
it's
honor
to
have
you
on
the
stage
with
us
two
pronged
question
for
you
on
the
policy
level.
What
do
you
think
is
moving
forward
already,
but
also
in
terms
of
policies?
What
policies
do
you
think
would
have
the
most
impact,
but
would
be
the
most
difficult
to
implement.
G
Okay,
so,
what's
already
on
the
table,
as
most
people
in
this
room
are
probably
already
aware,
is
the
whole
conversation
on
affordable
housing.
Currently
before
City
Council
is
legislation
to
create
an
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
I,
don't
there'll,
be
tweaks
to
the
legislation
as
presented,
but
I
believe
that
will
pass.
The
real
conversation
then
begins
on
now.
How
do
you
fund
this?
How
do
you
come
up
with
the
10
million
dollars
to
actually
invest
to
be
able
to
do
this?
G
Which
brings
to
your
second
question
is
one
which
I
may
answer
it
slightly
differently,
because
it's
not
as
much
policy,
but
it
is
a
will
answer.
You
sure,
where
a
courage
that
we
are
collectively
going
to
have
to
have,
because,
when
I
think
of
what
it
means
to
have
equitable
development,
I.
Think
of
this
car
tuned
I'm
sure
most
people
hear
of
saying,
but
the
little
kids
trying
to
look
over
the
fence
for
the
baseball
game,
which
means
the
reality,
is
communities
of
colors
community
of
color
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
G
Are
we
putting
the
most
resources
into
the
communities
of
the
most
need
to
produce
the
best
levels
of
development
and
that's
going
to
be
a
tough
conversation
and
a
very
real
one
that
has
to
occur?
I?
Think
it's
great
all
of
what's
being
said,
but
then
it
comes
down
to
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
this
and
which
is
a
lot
of
what
I'm
focused
in
on
I've
said
for
some
time
now
to
my
colleagues
on.
So,
if
we're
really
trying
to
change
the
city,
if
you
have
ten
communities,
you
got
ten
dollars.
G
It's
not
enough
to
say
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
every
community
is
going
to
get
one
dollar
right,
because
certain
communities
have
only
begun
in
a
penny.
For
years,
others
have
gotten
five
cents,
while
others
have
begin
in
five
and
that
dynamic
has
to
change,
and
we
have
to
begin
intentionally
disproportionately.
Allocating
resources
and
I
think
that's
actually
going
to
be
the
biggest
challenge
in
front
of
us
to
make
sure
that
when
you
start
talking
about
development,
a
young
gentleman
like
mr.
G
Tillman
who
I
don't
believe
he
spoke
about
his
mwe
numbers
on
his
project,
which
are
higher
than
normal.
But
to
be
able
to
say
we're
going
to
now
make
sure
he's
getting
the
development
deal
as
opposed
to
the
big
town
developers.
That
historically,
do
it
I'm
not
willing
to
go
to
distances.
He's
going
to
go
and
that'll
be
a
huge
political
fight.
Wow.
H
A
So
we
can
all
follow,
we
can
all
follow
genera,
you
know,
arts
and
culture
is
so
important
to
you
know
the
aesthetics
of
our
community,
the
identity
of
our
community
you've
been
involved
in
this
area
for
a
long
time.
How
do
you
view
the
relationship
between
art
and
culture
and
equitable
development,
and
how
can
we
also
strengthen
the
strength
in
that
relationship?
Thank.
E
E
It's
one
thing
to
say:
oh
I
would
like
to
create
a
poetry
for
more
I'd
like
to
write
a
book
or
I'd
like
to
write,
play
lots
of
people
say
they
like
to
do
lots
of
things,
but
to
actually
pull
together
the
resources
and
pull
yourself
together
to
persevere
and
and
do
it.
That
takes
a
lot
of
courage
and
those
are
the
folks
that
I
get
to
work
with
every
day
and
the
opportunity
to
work
with
people
who
are
inspired
is
incredibly
I.
E
Don't
I
think
it
might
be
a
little
bit
better
than
what
you're
doing
so.
I'll
say
that
so
you
know,
I
struggled
Rosa,
Maria
and
I
were
talking
before
this
I
struggled
with
the
question
of
arts
and
equitable
development.
You
know
when
I
first
saw
the
equity
plan
and
I
participated
in
some
of
the
sessions,
I
loved,
all
of
the
ideas
but
I
was
concerned.
E
E
If
we're
going
to
be
about
equitable
development,
we
kind
of
have
to
think
of
you
know
the
Maslow's
hierarchy
of
needs
new
triangle.
We
have
to
turn
that
upside
down.
You
know
we
tend
to
we
say:
well,
once
we
have,
the
basic
needs
met:
housing,
jobs,
schooling,
perhaps
then
we'll
talk
about
art,
then
we'll
talk
to
people
about
how
they
feel
and
what
proud
of
and
what
they
care
about.
E
E
A
Great
absolutely
gimme
I
like
to
just
ask
to
follow
up
one
or
two
strategies
that
you
think
are
missing
or
that
we
can
introduce
to
what
we've
been
talking
about
to
promote.
You
know
the
art
and
culture
and
and
really,
as
you
mentioned,
the
identity,
then
the
expression
of
our
neighborhoods.
What
are
a
couple
of
strategies?
You
know
bullet
point
for
me
that
we
can
do
so.
E
I
think
they're,
actually
several
great
things
happening
here
in
Pittsburgh
on
to
what
Angela
Blanchard
said
yesterday,
we've
got
to
recognize
and
celebrate
them.
You
know
creative
placemaking
and
now
creative
place,
keeping
or
very
popular
concepts
all
across
the
country,
but
we
in
Pittsburgh
we've
been
placed
making
and
keeping
for
a
very
long
time.
I
think
the
mistake
we've
made
in
there
and
we
can
point
to
some
neighborhoods
south
side
lawrenceville,
a
couple
of
others
were
economically
they're.
E
Incredibly,
their
revitalized
they're
awesome
we
like
to
go
there,
we
like
to
be
there,
but
the
question
of
what's
the
culture
of
the
place
right
right,
I
think
we
would
have
a
lot
of
debate
about
about.
What's.
What's
there
so
I'd
say
for
now
we
have
a
moment.
We
have
a
moment
in
several
communities:
east
liberty
and
along
the
Penn
Avenue
corridor
is
one
of
them.
E
Where
we
can,
we
can
pause
and
say:
okay,
we've
made
incredible
progress
in
economic
development
and
let's
take
a
look
at
the
social
and
cultural
fabric
of
the
community,
and
how
might
we
put
some
energy
there?
So
I
I
think
you
know
what's
happening
along
the
quarter
on
Penn
Avenue
is
a
great
example
of
what
of
what's
going
right
and
a
strategy
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
and
see
what
we
can
learn
from
yeah.
A
E
Gonna
add
one
more
thing
because
people
say
that
and
then
they
do
something,
that's
really
wrong.
So
yes,
art
and
culture
in
the
process.
Earlier
on.
The
the
one
thing
that
I
want
to
encourage
people
to
remember
is
that
we're
not
talking
about
importing
arts
into
communities.
I
once
heard
one
of
my
colleagues
say
as
they
were
launching
a
project
in
a
neighborhood.
I
think
it
was
home
one
where
the
person
said
we're
so
excited
to
be
going
into
homewood
we're
gonna
be
bringing
art.
E
There
are
hasn't
been
there
for
such
a
long
time,
and
I
looked
at
them
like.
Are
you
Christopher
Columbus?
Did
you
just
hear
so
so
I
think
yes,
yes,
bring
bring.
Artists.
Artists
are
our
citizens
they're
active
they're
engaged
citizens
include
them
in
the
process.
Ask
them
to
be
part
of
process.
The
only
ask
them
to
design
your
report-
or
you
know,
come
in
after
the
fact,
but
remember
that
there
is
art.
There's
majestic
said
yesterday:
there's
are
there
they're
beautiful.
A
Got
it?
Thank
you
Greg.
You
know
I
I.
Certainly
you
know
your
background
certainly
resonates
with
me.
Someone
also
coming
from
I
spent
20
years
in
the
corporate
sector
in
banking.
So
this
this
idea
of
you
know
merging
the
two
worlds.
The
for-profit
and
the
nonprofit
is
exciting.
So
I'd
like
to
ask
you
what
role
do
you
think
the
private
sector
should
play
in
advancing
this
agenda
and
why
why
it's
important
to
the
private
sector?
Thank.
H
You
I
hate
to
be
the
last,
but
and
Derek
loves
embarrassing
me
I,
you
know,
I
came
home
and
I'm.
Also
one
like
to
talk
about
my
personal
experiences.
I
came
home
from
the
Air
Force
I'm
doing
the
Vietnam
War
towards
the
end
and
I
came
home
and
I
was
a
college
dropout
I
made
some
lots
of
smart
decisions,
but
I
was
hired
as
a
laborer
in
at
a
u.s.
H
steel
plant,
but
I
had
the
ability
to
type
60
words
a
minute
and
when
they
had
a
position
up
in
the
personnel
department,
I
got
it
and
and
I.
Remember
that
experience
and
I
remember
the
experience
in
the
warehouse
when
people
wouldn't
have
lunch
with
me
because
of
my
color
of
my
skin.
On
some
number
of
years
later,
I
became
the
general
manager
of
human
resources.
For
us,
steel
and
I
was
responsible
for
everything
except
labor
relations
and
executive
compensation
and
I.
H
The
further
development
took
place
and
we
were
successful
as
a
company
and
I
was
successful
and
then
I
recognized
at
some
point
that
Lord
had
different
vision
for
me
and
so
as
a
result
of
that
I
started.
The
business
I
was
tired
of
people
saying
that
african-americans
couldn't
run
a
company
and
my
interest,
as
always
I'll
demonstrate
that
you're
wrong,
and
so
the
goal
of
the
company
is
to
hire
people
and
give
him
a
second
chance
and
and
I'm
proud
of
what
they're
extending
there
are
more
Derek's.
H
So
I,
look
at
the
look
in
the
private
company
do
their
phenomenal
resources,
financial
and
human.
If
we
would
intentionally
develop
people
with
the
understanding
that
they
clearly
can
and
someone
could
very
easily
and
I
probably
was
one
that
said:
he'll
never
he'll
never
make
it.
He
won't
do
anything.
He
has
a
speech
impediment.
He
has
a
reading
challenge,
but
they
invest
it
and
I.
Think
that's
what
the
private
company
needs
to
do,
invest
and
believe
you
me
they'll
get
a
return.
Wow
excellent.
A
H
I
appreciate
that
so
another
personal
reference
it
occurred
within
the
last
two
or
three
weeks,
I
I
serve
on
the
board
of
an
organization
that
was
making
a
presentation,
a
board
meeting
for
a
capital
project.
It
was
going
to
be
over
42
million
dollars
and
at
the
board
meeting
I
asked
a
question
about
minority
participation
and,
as
you
can
suspect,
up
the
only
african-american
there
surely
was
don't
want
to
raise
that
question.
The
so
I
didn't
get
the
kind
of
answer
that
I
wanted.
H
So
this
week
we
had
a
special
board
meeting
and
the
intent
and
purpose
of
the
meeting
was
to
ask
for
pool
report,
and
fortunately
it
was
a
conference
call
and
so
when,
when
the
question
came
up
about
the
bidder
I
said
well,
where
will
we
be
on
minority
participation,
contractor
participation
and
he
responded,
but
working
now
with
the
law
department
to
put
language
into
the
contract
about
minority
participation
and
attainment
of
goals
and
I'm
glad
I
was
conference.
Call
because
I
went
yes,
I
think
I
think
as
people
moving
through
corporations.
H
Think
that
and
I
do
believe
that
companies
return
on
investment
are
the
people
that
walk
through
the
door
every
day
and
some
of
them
look
like
me
and
someone
look
like
others,
and
some
probably
you
don't
know
what
they
look
like,
but
they'll
always
tell
you
the
most
important
investment
or
in
their
people
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
make
them
live
up
to
that
very.
G
The
future
of
our
city
is
dependent
on
it
to
combine
that
question
with
what
you
just
asked.
Mr.
Spencer,
if
we
don't
invest
in
communities
of
color,
if
we
don't
invest
in
the
least
of
us,
this
community
will
not
make
it
long
term.
That's
a
in
my
opinion,
a
reality.
We
are
among
the
oldest
widest
cities
in
the
country.
Our
minority
population
is
among
the
porous
that
is
not
a
recipe
for
success.
G
Despite
all
the
accolades,
we
still
lost
population
last
year,
despite
all
the
accolades,
we
are
still
having
a
brain
drain
within
the
african-american
community,
and
so,
if
you're,
not
willing
to
say
I
need
to
put
the
resources
to
ensure
that
the
number
one
entrepreneur
in
this
country,
which
are
women
of
color,
to
ensure
that
the
number
one
individual
going
to
college,
which
is
african-american
woman,
are
invested
in
or
staying
in
the
city.
This
city
will
not
make
it.
This
is
in
our
two
years
sort
of
question.
G
What's
the
return
on
investment,
this
is
in
our
economic
best
interest.
If
you
want
me
to
be
able
to
pave
some
more
streets
next
year,
then
I
need
the
communities
of
color
to
have
more
jobs,
I
believe
a
job
report
last
week
where
it
said
our
workforce
is
like
eighty-five
percent
white.
That's
a
recipe
for
disaster.
When
you
look
at
any
metrics
of
where
young
people
want
to
move,
they
want
to
move
to
diverse
cities,
that's
always
sort
of
in
the
top
five!
That's
a
problem
here.
G
So
this
the
whole
and
I
the
p4
and
I
for
is
strictly
on
the
people
apart.
If
we're
not
doing
that,
if
we're
not
changing
a
reality
where
the
communities
of
color
most
the
most
impoverished
in
the
country
and
creating
a
new
wealth
legacy
for
them
and
doing
it
through
development,
then
ultimately
our
city
will
not
make
it
right.
D
I
think
that,
in
addition
to
that
councilman,
which
I
think
was
articulated
very
well
your
points,
we
will
not
be
able
to
retain
or
attract
diverse
professionals
without
redeveloping
our
communities
of
color
I
mean
that
that
is
just
the
bottom
line,
and
so
what
happens
in
Pittsburgh
in
many
cases
is
when
we
attract
minority
professionals.
You
know
they
are
told,
don't
live
in
the
communities
that
start
with
an
h
right.
That's
the
Hill
District
Homewood
Hazelwood.
H
Yeah
great
comment
to
that:
the
the
first
of
all
she's,
absolutely
right
on
you,
know
about
before
I
left
corporate
I
started
an
organization
along
with
the
general
counsel
at
PPG,
and
we
identified
22
african-american
men
and
women,
who
were
corporate
offices,
and
we
created
this
not
to
be
elitist.
But
when
we
decide
to
do
something,
we
don't
have
to
go
back
and
ask
permission
today.
I
left
for
America
quote:
unquote,
tired,
he
retired
from
PPG.
Today.
If
we
use
the
same
criteria,
there
are
only
four.
H
So
in
the
amount
of
time
that
I
left
corporations-
and
today
we
lost
four
people
of
color
who
are
in
corporate
positions,
and
so
when
people
do
come
in
from
outside
and
they
look
around,
they
don't
see
leadership
that
looks
like
them.
Then
they
feel
there's
no
opportunity,
and
so,
while
I'm
open
around
issues
of
diversity,
I'm
going
to
try
to
focus
my
attention
on
those
in
the
c-suite
when
positive
made
their
there.
H
E
We're
not
only
lose
I
mean
we're
we're
not
only
losing
people
of
color,
we
are,
but
we're
also
we're
losing
all
kinds
of
people
and
I
think
that
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
insert
into
the
conversation
about
why
this
is
important
for
Pittsburgh
right
now.
Pittsburgh
has
an
opportunity
to
to
lead
the
nation
in
terms
of
how
we
think
about
race,
class
culture,
gender,
sexuality,
latasha
talked
about
intersectionality.
Yesterday,
I
mean
yes,
of
course,
we
have.
E
We
can
say,
and
we've
seen
lots
of
charts
about
how
black
people
are
doing
relatively
every
relative
to
everyone
else.
But
this
is
not
a
black
problem.
It's
a
Pittsburgh
problem,
I
mean
I.
Think
this
is
where
we've
got
it
earlier
and
to
what
Greg
shared
in
terms
of
you
know
being
in
the
room.
I
would
hope
that,
even
if
I'm,
not
in
the
room
that
someone's
going
to
say
hey
what
about
this
someone's
going
to
ask
the
question:
we've
got
to
be
all
in
on
this.
Otherwise,
it's
not
gonna
work.
E
A
What
I
would
say
it
is
I
would
I
would
echo
what
dr.
Jamil
bass
said
yesterday
we've
got
to
all
take
this
personally,
we've
got
to
all
become
champions,
and
you
know
understand
that
enough
is
enough.
It
is
time
to
really
step
it
up.
It
is
really
time
to
turn
up
the
heat
and
work
together.
We
need
everyone,
we
need
corporate,
we
need
government,
we
need
nonprofit,
we
need
philanthropy,
we
need
everyone
to
champion
these
efforts
and
that's
what
you
know
at
this
moment
in
time.
A
We
shouldn't
take
it
for
granted
and
I'm
excited
about
the
work
ahead.
I'm
excited
about
the
leadership
here
on
the
stage
and
in
Pittsburgh
and
I,
just
think
we've
got.
We've
got
a
lot
of
challenge.
We've
also
got
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
reshape
this
century
going
into
the
next
decade,
so
another
round
of
applause
for
the
panel
and
will.
A
I
Wow,
that
was
just
a
fabulous
panel
I
was
so
pleased
when
I
came
this
morning
and
I
saw
so
many
of
you
here.
I
must
say
when
I
woke
up
this
morning,
I
thought
well
I
wonder
how
many
people
will
come
back
to
have
this
conversation
about
all
in
equitable
development,
adjust
Pittsburgh
and
to
see
so
many
of
you
here
to
hear
this
authentic,
strong,
truthful
searching,
effective
conversation
and
to
have
you
here
to
see
it
just
makes
me
so
excited
about
the
potential
here
in
Pittsburgh.
I
I
Their
language
issues
their
challenges
in
terms
of
understanding
and
being
seen,
but
common
ground
is
being
found,
neighbors
are
being
welcoming,
and
please
don't
put
us
in
a
silo,
we're
Steeler
fans
to
let
us
work
across
the
board
and
then
a
marimba
talked
about
the
power
of
resident
voice
and
the
need
for
Policy
to
be
able
to
ingrain
the
things
that
are
so
important
to
residents
into
everything.
That's
happening
and
Jeanne
very
proud
of
her
work
in
philanthropy
really
said
that
this
is
a
foundation
that
understands
that.
It's
not
enough
to
make
the
grants.
I
You
have
to
be
able
to
really
focus
on
systems
change.
They
have
had
the
courage
which
they
are
exercising
to
actually
lead
with
racial
equity
and
the
humility
to
be
ashamed
when
they
realize
how
much
they're
missing
of
the
battalion
and
the
skills
and
the
assets
in
the
community
and
looking
to
change
themselves.
I
I
I
But
he
also
talked
about
the
power
of
being
in
the
room
and
it's
not
just
in
the
business
but
in
the
c-suite
to
be
in
the
room
to
be
able
to
be
there
when
the
decisions
are
being
made,
and
then
we
were
reminded
that,
ultimately,
when
we
reach
for
the
best
among
all
of
us,
we
want
to
know
that
everybody
has
everybody
else's
back.
Yes,
you
want
to
be
in
the
room,
but
what
we
strive
for
is
to
know
that
your
interests
are
covered
whoever's
in
the
room
because
we
have
each
other's
backs.
I
This
has
been
a
conversation
that
really
has
taken
us
from
the
ideas
of
equitable
development,
which
I
was
so
proud
of.
My
colleague
Sarah
true
half,
as
she
presented
the
work
that
she's
been
doing
with
this
community,
and
it
is
the
philosophy
of
policy
link
to
work
with
communities.
We
don't
believe
in
importing
anything.
I
We
think
that
the
strengths
are
always
there
and
what
we're
doing
is
working
with
communities
to
be
able
to
add
what
we
can
to
lift
it
up,
but
listening
to
people
respond
to
what
she
put
out
and
hear
the
authenticity
in
this
conversation
showed
that
equitable
development
is
owned
by
this
community.
It's
being
created
by
this
community
and
today
really
gives
me
extraordinary
confidence
that
you
will
achieve
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

Good
morning
last
evening
we
were
joking.
I
was
talking
to
angela
and
she
talked
at
the
joke
that
she
made
on
stage
yesterday
about
the
skunk
at
the
picnic,
and
I
guess
we're
all
skunks
now,
because
you
know
she
brought
the
conversation
that
look,
we're
missing
this
equity
piece
in
the
first
p4
and
she
came,
and
you
know
we
brought
it
this
time.
I
think
you
know
this
panel
up
here
was:
did
a
tremendous
job
and
setting
the
stage
for
what
we're
about
to
do.
