A
Good
evening
my
name
is
Ernest
Raja
Co
and
I
work
for
Pittsburgh
Mayor,
Bill,
Peduto,
I'm
glad
you
could
join
us
today
for
our
third,
a
virtual
series
event.
This
one
is
focused
on
resources
and
support
for
AAPI
small
businesses.
The
virtual
event
series
have
been
part
of
celebrating
Asian
Pacific
American
Heritage
Month
and
have
been
co-hosted
by
governor
Wolf's
Advisory
Commission
on
Asian
Pacific
American
affairs,
as
well
as
mayor
Peduto,
is
welcome.
B
Ernest,
my
name
is
ether,
cow
and
I
work
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
innovation
and
performance.
The
Civic
innovation
team
uses
the
city's
platform
to
highlight
underrepresented
communities
in
Pittsburgh.
We
believe
that
providing
equal
access
to
products
and
services
is
vital
to
all
communities,
and
we
do
this
through
inviting
everyone
to
participate,
and
with
that,
let's
go
to
our
speakers.
Yep.
D
I
mean
I
think
that
we're
gonna
start
off
today
with
ideally
having
each
of
our
wonderful
speakers
tonight
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
their
business
in
particular
like
what
is
your
business?
What
do
you
do?
Is
it?
Is
it
a
physical
space?
Is
it
not,
and
how
has
the
recent
pandemic
affected?
Your
business,
you
know
like
as
a
small
business
owner
and
do
you
feel
like?
Is
there
anything
in
particular,
being
an
AAPI
business
matter
that
makes
your
business
more
susceptible
or
you
know
in
any
way
differently
impacted?
D
D
E
Henry
nice
to
meet
you
I'd
like
to
meet
you
in
person
or
antibody
and
normalcy
whatever.
That
is
the
deals
right
so
well,
I'm.
Also
there.
Okay,
let
me
introduce
myself
as
on
the
president
of
the
Asian
American
Chamber
of
Commerce
sub,
one
hat
I
wear
and
the
other
one
is
a
small
business
owner
I
run
connect
financial,
which
is
a
registered
investment
advisory.
E
So
so
I
can
talk
on
both
both
sides
of
the
equation,
meaning
you
know
so
as
not
diver
I.
Let
me
say
that,
and
mine
is
a
free
base,
advisory
based
on
assets
on
the
management.
Of
course,
the
stock
market
has
been
crazy,
so
you
know
you
take
only
humans
are
crazy,
know
the
stock
return
market
is
really
awfully
crazy,
and
so
that
has
affected
my
business
and
Yoram,
but
not
to
decks
Chen
that
some
of
the
other
businesses
have
been.
E
We
invested
the
restaurant
business
and
that
bothers
me
as
the
president
of
the
Asian
American
Chamber
of
Commerce,
like
you,
Mossi
I
served
on
the
governor's
Commission.
It's
a
bipartisan
Commission.
As
you
know,
it
was
a
pleasure
to
see
everybody
across
the
state
and
ran
into
the
president
of
the
Asian
American
Chamber
of
Commerce
in
Philadelphia,
who
encouraged
me
to
start
the
chamber.
He
said
you
don't
have
a
chamber
Asian
American
Chamber
in
Pittsburgh
I
said
no,
so
he
helped
me,
you
know
so
he
modeled
on
there
you
know
booked
up.
E
You
know
the
way
they
run
their
chamber
and
then
I
also
have
connected
with
the
African
American
chamber
in
town.
As
you
know,
they
do
a
great
job,
and
since
the
Asian
American
Chamber
is
a
very
small
chapter
and
also
we're
facing
the
ceiling
trouble
drawing
paintings.
All
that
and
it's
you
know
a
lot
of
people
who
see
all
our
volunteers
based
on
just
a
membership.
You
know
so
I
would
encourage
you,
young
folks,
to
be
part
of
the
chamber
and
help
all
the
other
businesses
succeed.
E
You
know
we're,
you
know
what
this
is
the
engines
that
drive
our
economy,
so
we
need
to
be
up
there
and
especially
times
like
this.
Whoever
needs
help
we
can
help.
Actually
there's
a
restaurant.
Two
rows
down
boom.
Cannot
see
people
and
my
back
office
I
have
open
space
I
offered
it
to
dine.
I
said:
if
you
want
to
use
that
space
to
see
to
your
customers
I.
Can
you
can
host
24
people
even
that
the
social
distancing?
E
So
that's
my
innovative
web
home
innovative
way
of
helping
a
local,
neighboring
business,
I'm
being
a
good
neighbor.
You
know
this
big
Pittsburgh
yeah
and
by
Rodgers
found
you
know.
So
that
is
my
contribution
to
innovation
in
terms
of
helping
our
local
businesses
try
the
wall
anything
else.
So
you
want
me
to
say.
D
F
F
F
We
don't
really
know
how
you
know
the
cost
of
groceries
at
Restaurant
depot
like
will
the
business
be
sustainable
moving
forward,
and
can
we
maintain
the
prices
that
we've
had
and
one
of
the
benefits
of
being
a
food
truck
is
that
she
doesn't
have
overhead
cost,
because
it's
not
a
brick
and
mortar
building?
And
so
you
know
we
like
to
be
able
to
support
the
students
on
campus
and
make
sure
that
food
is
affordable.
So
those
are
things
that
we're
going
to
be
have
to
we're.
Gonna
have
to
consider
it.
D
G
Thank
you
for
being
here
thanks
for
having
me,
I,
really
appreciate
this
I
think
this
is
very
important
topic
and
yeah.
Thanks
for
having
me,
my
name
is
fat.
Winn
I
own
ineffable,
cafe
there
in
Lawrenceville,
so
our
shop
is
a
coffee
shop.
It's
a
third
wave
coffee
shop
that
we
served
in
me.
Sandwiches
very
small
menu.
It's
a
big
space.
The
coffee
shop
is
not
your
typical
coffee
shop.
When
you
come
pick
up
and
kind
of
go,
it's
more
like
you,
come
sit
down
your
hand
with
your
friends.
G
G
The
team
was
like
some
of
my
team
players.
They
were
sick
and
you
know
nothing
like
they
have
like
other
or
like
immune
system.
That's
not
good
for
them,
so
we
had
to
cut
back
on
a
lot
of
like
being
there
a
lot
for
my
team.
My
guys
say:
I
don't
want
to
want
to
get
sick
because
you
know
when
you
have
weak
immune
system.
Your
your
body
is
no,
it's
it's
dangerous
at
this
time,
so
we
decided
to
close
down
for
a
while
for
a
month
and
then
we
just
started
sorry.
G
G
G
It's
just
coming
from
like
coming
from
another
place
coming
here,
knowing
how
Pittsburgh
as
a
community
really
helped
what
another
is
amazing,
I
can't
say
enough
about
how
great
persuader
has
been
to
my
family
and
to
the
shop,
and
it's
just
very
opening
with
you
know
within
like
it's
hard
enough
to
have
a
restaurant
and
having
an
Asian
restaurant
right.
Now,
it's
very
difficult.
Oh
it's
a
trust
factor
right
I
mean
it's
hard.
I,
don't
want
it
like
it's!
It's
like
you
can't
I,
don't
want
to
say.
G
That
is
why
we're
not
doing
well
right
now
because
of
the
pandemic.
It's
just
so
it's
it's
a
little
bit
more
difficult
for
us
like
if
we
were
to
sell
different
things.
I
think
it
would
be,
you
know,
might
be
a
little
bit
easier,
but
yeah
right
now,
we'll
just
open
in
weekends.
We
are
opening
back
up
and
there's
just
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
that
we're
just
trying
to
adjust
to
so.
D
D
H
Sure
so
again,
my
name
is
princess,
a
Dover
with
the
urate
every
development
authority
Pittsburgh.
So
we
worked
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
and
you
know
have,
for
four
decades
been
working
with
small
businesses
around
the
city
and
now
we're
working
in
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
try
and
make
sure
small
businesses
are
able
to
function
as.
C
H
H
You
know
the
state
and
federal
sources.
We
can
turn
them
around
very
quickly
and
we
are
very
well
capitalized,
so
I
encourage
anyone
that
needs
sort
of
a
small
quick
amount
to
hold
them
over
to
to
go
to
our
website
your
AOR
and
apply
for
that
funding
source.
We're
also
going
to
launch
a
larger
$75,000
recovery
loan
again
0%
for
the
first
year
and
then
to.
H
Of
the
seven-year
term,
there's
also,
you
know,
other
entities
around
town
doing
financing,
but
I
would
encourage
people
to
look
into
it.
Looking
for
smaller
or
a
short
term
funds
to
hold
them
over
Kiba,
Honeycomb,
Bridgeway
Capital
all
have
great
programs.
You
know.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
people
have
looked
at
the
PPP
program.
The
SBA
we're
not
directly
assisting
people
with
that,
but
we
are
helping
get
businesses
that
might
not
have
all
of
their
bookkeeping
together
to
kind
of
help
get
their
paperwork
in
order
to
to
apply
for
at
least
SBA
1.
H
The
PPP
typically
goes
through
your
ear
bank,
but
in
addition
to
some
of
these
financing
resources,
we're
also
launching
a
couple.
Innovative
programs
we
launched
a
get
online
grow
online
essentially
was
connecting
small
businesses
with
some
digital
service
firms
to
actually
help
this.
Is
that
really
haven't
explored
their
e-commerce
with
social
media?
To
really,
you
know,
go
take
it
a
little
more
seriously
now,
and
so
that's
kind
of
right
in
the
middle.
H
We're
hoping
I
think
we
we
have
maybe
eight
or
nine
different
digital
service
firms
and
I
think
45
small
businesses
they
reached
out
to
us
for
assistance
and
we're
providing
up
to
five
hours
free.
You
know,
expert
assistance
with
with
that
program.
We
just
are
launching
this
week
a
loyalty
bond
gift
program
which
is
essentially
a
matching
program.
So
if
the
small
business
is
able
to
get
their
customers
to
to
purchase
gift
cards
will
match
basically
30%
of
that.
H
E
H
One
way
that
we
think
some
of
the
businesses
that
are
really
affected,
you
know
that
the
stores
that
they're
selling
goods
that
people
can't
come
in,
but
also
restaurants,
are
able
to
at
least
get
some
cash
flow.
In
the
meantime,
we're
about
to
launch
a
micro
grant
program
to
try
and
allow
businesses
to
move
more
their
operations
outside
so
literally
small
grants
to
help
businesses
who
want
to
put
their
tables
benches
tents.
H
Things
like
that
or
even
to
go
Windows
and
really
allow
businesses
to
pivot,
so
I've
been
kind
of
talking
a
lot,
but
those
are
sort
of
a
selection
of
programs
that
were
rolling
out.
We're
really
curious.
You
know
hearing
some
of
the
experiences
from
the
folks
today
and
otherwise
how
we
can
continue
to
try
and
keep
small
businesses.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Great
I
really
appreciate
you
being
able
to
join
us
today
to
describe
the
specific
programs
that
you
and
the
other
folks
would
be,
or
a
have
been
working
so
hard
on
and
and
I
want
to
apologize,
because
I
miss
what
you
said,
because
I
got
disconnected
and
was
able
to
come
back,
but
thankfully
we're
coworkers
so
I'm
familiar
with
the
programs,
fitness
yeah.
So
the
big
idea
here
is
kind
of
in
some
ways.
It's
simple,
even
though
this
the
strain
and
stress
is
so
difficult.
C
We
know
a
few
things
are
going
to
happen.
One
is
folks.
Cash
flow
is
going
to
be
constricted,
so
we
need
to
have
immediate
moves
to
help.
Folks
have
cash
in
hand
now
to
pay
current
expenses
and
then
to
older
relationships
are
going
to
fall
apart,
we're
creatures
of
habit.
All
humans
are
so
now
that
we've
been
home
for
all
these
months
and
we've
become
accustomed
to
cooking
at
home.
More
often,
perhaps
we've
been
purchasing
our
groceries
from
fewer
different
stores
in
order
to
our
contacts
with
other
humans.
Those
those
are
habits.
C
At
this
point
we've
been
doing
this
a
while.
This
is
a
couple
months,
so
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
reintroduce
folks
to
their
customers
and
reintroduce
them
to
some
of
their
old
economic
habits
and
relationships.
The
ones
that
keep
all
of
our
business
is
going,
one
that
keep
the
ones
that
keep
cash
in
all
their
pockets.
That's
why
I'm
the
most
excited
about
that
loyalty
bond
program
that
Corinne
mentioned
the
idea
there.
C
Well,
it
gives
value
to
the
to
the
consumer
in
the
in
the
form
of
they've,
received
slightly
more
value
than
they
put
out
in
terms
of
the
retail
goods
they
receive
later.
The
best
part
to
me
is
that
it
pays
out
in
four
installments
over
two
years,
so
if
I
put
in
100
bucks
I'll
receive
about
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
hundred
thirty
dollars
back,
but
one
quarter
of
that
every
six
months,
beginning
from
the
date
of
purchase,
so
that
I
might
forget
about
my
favorite
pizza
shop
or
my
favorite
florist.
C
But
I
won't
forget
when
I
get
that
gift
card
in
the
mail.
Six
months
later
and
that'll
help
me
reform
those
good
habits
and
then
support
my
neighbors
yeah
come
on
in
Thanks
yeah.
We
kind
of
stole
it
and
modified
it
from
other
people
and
then
subsidized
it
to
be
a
little
easier
to
participate
for
Pittsburghers.
G
D
No
I
think
that's
a
great
point
right
now.
It's
transition,
this
transitions
us
well
into
the
next
piece.
So
thank
you,
everybody
for
the
introductions.
You
know
a
little
bit
about
what
you
do.
I
mean
we
really
wanted
people
watching
here
to
kind
of
think
about
creative
solutions.
You
know
like
obviously
we
all
know
that
there's
challenges
right
now
which
have
been
well
laid
out
by
everybody
here
today
and
they
differ
depending
on
what
business
you
have
and
what
industry
you're
in
so
in
your
own
businesses
and
in
what
have
you
done
to
be
creative?
D
What
solutions
have
you
tried
to
implement?
What
are
ways
that
you
try
to
get
over
some
of
these
hurdles
and
challenges
that
have
appeared?
Also:
everybody
here,
whether
your
service
provider
and
you're,
working
with
entrepreneurs
or
you're,
an
entrepreneur
who's
network
with
other
ones.
You
may
have
heard
of
other
creative
solutions
or
things
that
you
would
recommend
so
either,
ideally
start
with
what
you've
personally
done
and
then
what
service
you
particularly
personally
provide
it.
D
But
then,
aside
from
that,
let's
just
talk
about
some
solutions:
the
people
that
for
our
community
you
know
like
what
can
people
start
to
do
and
I
can
open
it
up?
I'd
love
to
start
with
Bhavani,
because
I
know
you
already
started
getting
into
one
of
your
creative
solutions
a
little
bit
earlier.
So
do
you
want
to
start
with
that?
Yeah.
F
Yeah,
so
that's
a
really
interesting
point,
so
I
think
earlier
we
kind
of
got
cut
off
so
I
mentioned
what
I
was
discussing.
I
was
talking
about
how
my
mom
owns
two
trucks
and
she
faces
a
lot
of
challenges
now
because
they're
located
on
the
pit
in
CMU
campuses.
So
we
don't
know
when
the
students
way
back
and
when
faculty
and
research
researchers
way
back
on
campus
and
so
that
faces
a
lot
of
challenges
in
terms
of
how
limited
she
is
with
the
market
that
she's
accessing.
F
F
But
if
anybody
has
been
paying
attention
to
social
media,
there
was
I
think
image
that
was
going
viral
about
how
somebody
they
had
I
think
raised
$16,000
on
grub
hub,
and
then
they
only
took
home
around
7,000
just
because
the
fees
like
grub
hub
kind
of
extracts-
and
so
that's
not
sustainable
for
a
small
business
and
so
I've
been
you
know,
kind
of
urging
her
to
think
about
how
she
could
potentially
think
about
taking
orders
via
her
own
app
and
kind
of
expanding
her
communication
method
and
you
technology
to
communicate
with
her
customers
and
broaden
the
reach
potentially
partnering
with
other
organizations
who
you
know
she
has
relationships
with
she's
been
in
the
city
for
quite
a
bit
of
time,
and
as
that
mentioned
you
know,
people
in
Pittsburgh
are
incredibly
supportive.
F
You
know
she's
still
good
phone
calls
from
her
customers
and
professors
and
researchers
who
you
know,
keep
asking
her.
When
are
you
gonna
reopen
so
I
think
it's?
It's
really
being.
You
know
intentional
about
how
you
want
to
use
technology
connecting
to
the
resources
that
are
available
in
this
city
and
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
heat
and
excitement
in
Pittsburgh
for
people
who
are
small
business
owners
and
want
to
kind
of
get
into
that
space
and
then
also
leveraging
your
networks.
C
That
brings
up
something
really
interesting,
the
you
know,
I
think
we've
all
probably
heard
about
in
the
media,
recently
price
of
different
apps
and
restaurant
ordering
systems.
If
that's
something
that
any
of
you
have
had
to
contend
with,
now
that
you
perhaps
they're
doing
more
sales
facilitated
online.
G
Me
personally,
when
we
started
this
is
doordash
me
to
add
the
free
30-day
trial
to
see
how
it
goes,
because
we
never
really
did
delivery,
and
we
were
at
the
point
where
my
team
was
like:
hey.
Let's
just
try
everything
out
as
much
as
we
can.
We
just
can
experiment
to
see
if
it
works,
so
we
tried
out
door.
It
didn't
really
worked
out
so
well.
We
tried
to
deliver
yourself
even
like
I
guess,
for
me,
I
guess
on
my
food,
it's
hard
to
deliver
because
it's
bread.
G
So
if
you
have
like
a
pork
belly
sandwich
like
it
soaks
in
this
juicy,
where
it's
like
by
time,
you
get
home,
it's
just
really
like
it's,
probably
not
the
best
way.
I
would
like
someone
to
try
my
food,
so
I
was
really
against
it,
but
you
know
my
team
was
like
hey.
We
have
to
try
everything
we
can
so
we
experiment
that
it
went
for
like
a
few
weeks.
It
didn't
go
well,
people
were
not
showing
up
on
top
food
was
delivered
on,
it
was
just
like.
G
G
I
even
have
phone
calls
that
people
just
want
to
donate
money
for
us,
and
it's
just
that's
something
nice
like
is
incredible
so
things
that
would
just
try
to
do
a
lake
at
least
to
order
as
much.
We
can
pick
up
and
curve
shop.
We
think
now,
with
curse.
I
was
really
nice,
because
I've
always
wanted
to
do
that
in
the
first
place.
So
now
it's
really
pushing
me
to
like
do
this,
so
we
just
actually
bring
it
out
to
people,
so
they
don't
have
to
get
out.
So
that's
something
we
try
have.
D
You
have
you
heard
of
any
of
the
programs
that
are
trying
to
help
businesses
get
online
and
and
and
say
choose
between
those
resources
or
understand
how
to
use
them,
or
anything
like
that.
If
any
of
you
like
come
across
that
being
advertised
to
you
and
if
so
how'd
you
hear
about
it,
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
If
that
information
gets
to
everybody,
I
haven't.
G
I
mean
I
feel,
like
my
whole,
my
is
this
funny
when
the
shop
closed,
I
feel
like
my
full-time
job,
you
just
find
different
loans
to
see
what's
out
there
and
I.
Don't
know
why
job
now
is
look
at
Lowe's.
Look
at
all
this
program.
That's
coming
out,
you
know.
Lay
your
aid.
I
actually
did
a
lot
of
stuff
to
like
look
into
it.
E
No
I
mean
you
know,
I'd
like
to
encourage
the
small
businesses
to
join
the
chamber.
You
know
I
want
to
get
it
up
and
running.
You
know,
they'll,
have
more
programs
and
help
people.
You
know
using
the
programs
that
the
mayor's
office,
the
governor's
office,
puts
out
and
get
it
out
to
them
and
I
know.
You
know
it's
being
told
to
me
that
asian-americans
are
shy.
They
don't
reach
out
to
people
they
want
to.
Do
you
want
to
have
them.
You
know
reach
out
to
people.
E
You
know
and
I
do
know
that,
because
you
know
other
than
I
don't
know
if
he
you
know
of
Thai
the
good
time
stainless
entrepreneurs,
it's
a
high
tech
group.
You
know
so
they
have
been
serving
the
high
tech.
You
know,
businesses,
asian-american
technology
oriented,
but
the
smaller
ones
like
the
restaurant
or
the
names
of
one
of
ours
and
all
the
trees,
also
being
felt
by
the
asian-american
community
needs
to
take
advantage
of
all
these
programs
that
are
here.
You
know,
so
the
chamber
needs
to
get
it
out
to
them.
E
H
A
H
B
C
G
E
G
Applying
for
loans
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm
like
well
educated
but
I,
know
a
little
bit
enough.
That
I
can
push
myself
alright,
but
him
like
I'm
helping
my
family
I'm,
always
saying
hey,
you
need
something
we
need
I'm,
always
pushing
them
to
like
check
out
their
area.
What
programs
are
there
out
there
to
help,
but
for
them
they
don't
know
where
to
go
and
I
feel
like
even
me,.
E
I'll
be
happy
to
you
know,
you
know:
I've
been
trying
to
help
people
who
cannot
speak
English,
you
know
connect
with
people
who
can
help
them.
You
know
calculate
their
words
and
you
know
so
we
need
to
do
that.
More
of
that
and
reach
out
to
me
I
will
see
what
we
can
do
to
help
you
in
that,
or
you
know,
I've.
G
E
G
Feel,
like
you,
abandon
them,
because
you're
really
not
helping
you
can't
really
help
them.
You
don't
know
much
because
there's
only
so
much
you
can
do
you
can't.
Actually
you
I've
helped
them
apply
and
things
like
that,
but
it's
kind
of
like
well
I'm,
not
there
physically
they're
in
Atlanta
Georgia.
So
it's
like
you're
so
far.
Yes,
you
can't
really
do
it's
hard
for
them.
I!
Think
for
like
any
most
Asian
people
who
don't.
B
G
She
was
like
most
a
lot
of
questions
I
feel
like
if
that
was
like
my
family
and
I
understand
the
questions
and
I
mean
the
question
was
meant
to
to
help
certain
things
to
understand
more
about
the
businesses,
so
you
can
help
them
in
the
right
way,
which
is
like
the
ideal
like
you
want
to
be
able
to
cut
out
those
people
who
really
need
this.
But
then
you
have
those
people
who
really
need
this
and
that
don't
know
how
to
answer
these.
Like
so.
G
E
D
How
would
you
like
most
likely
here,
you
know
your
siblings,
your
family
members,
your
mother,
your
brothers
and
sisters
and
yourselves
like
how
would
you
most
likely
hear
about
these
resources,
like
what
format
forum
or
what
way
do
you
think
would
reach
you?
It
was
like
most
likely
they
would
reach
you
and
most
likely
to
reach
people
that
you
know
with
language
barriers.
That's
just
that
would
be
helpful
and
another
thing
one:
does
it
kind
of
introduce
a
concept?
D
I
know
you
know
case
management
for
entrepreneurs,
kind
of
this
navigation
process
like
so
having
a
resource
navigator
working
with
AAPI
community
on?
Would
that
be
helpful,
or
do
you
think
it's
more
about
getting
translation
services
if
that
all
the
different
areas,
or
do
you
think
one
person
who
would
focus
on
the
API
community
would
be
better
one
person
or
a
couple
people?
You
know
like
just
introducing
those
concepts
yeah,
you
can
answer
those
in
order
if
you
can
because
yeah
yes,.
F
I
am
I,
think
my
mom
she
she
say
so
there's
a
lot
of
issues
just
because
it
means
she
speaks
English.
Well,
she
is,
you
know,
well
the
language
and
everything,
but
when
she
jumps
on
a
phone
call
like
I,
think
the
other
person
cases
a
lot
of
challenges
with
understanding
her
accent,
so
that's
kind
of
where
my
brother
and
I
come
in
and
we
try
to
handle
a
lot
of
logistics
and
having
phone
calls
and
parsing.
These
really
dense
documents,
and
that
can
be
really
intimidating
for
me
and
him.
F
So
when
I
think
about
you
know
the
best
way
to
get
the
information
to
people
like
my
brother
and
I
who
were
handling
this
on
behalf
of
our
immigrant
parents,
like
in
my
head,
I
instantaneously,
think
of
the
nonprofits
and
the
social
enterprises
that
are
at
the
forefront
of
doing
this
work.
Pre-Pandemic
and
I
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
elevate
those
organizations
so,
for
example,
I
think
of
global
words.
Myths
like
they've,
you
know
been
doing
a
ton
of
work
in
the
city
and
Beyond
they
you
know
they
have.
F
The
logistics
figured
out.
They
have
the
infrastructure
in
place
if
they
can
get
the
funding
that
they
need
to
to.
You
know
show
up
when
we
them
they
have
the
capacity
and
like
the
love
for
the
city,
to
do
that.
Work,
I,
think
of
hello,
neighbor
I
mean
meet
people
where
they
are
I
mean
hello.
Neighbor
has
been
doing
this
work
today
in
and
day
out
and
in
terms
of
working
with
communities,
and
they
have
those
relationships
and
so
I
think
it's.
F
D
C
Thing
I
always
want
I've
worked
in
business
district
management
for
most
of
my
career
until
being
a
part
of
the
office
of
equity,
and
traditionally
that
type
of
organizing
work
is
done
with
a
geographic
boundary.
And
then
anyone
in
that
boundary
might
have
a
human
who
is
their
organizer
and
speaks
with
them.
But
perhaps
that
model
isn't
working
well
for
folks
in
your
community.
H
Well,
what
what
Henry
means
is
he
has
an
or
like
a
weekly
call
with
the
people
who
manage
the
Main
Street
so
that
the
Butler's
Street,
you
know
the
Liberty,
Avenue
and
Bloomfield,
but
but
you
know
its
geographic,
its
are
you
between
these
blocks
and
I.
Think
he's
saying
I
mean
that's
a
great
distribution
channel,
but
it's
not
clearly
covering
all
the
bases.
All
the
businesses
are
out,
they're,
not
mentioning
that,
for
example,
you
know
is
sort
of
in
Lawrenceville,
but
it's
on
you
know
the
upside
was
not
consider.
G
G
Because
I
feel
like
I'm,
always
that
that
lone
wolf,
that's
like
up
there
I
feel
like
they
have
so
much
support
on
Butler
Street
weather,
guys
as
on
livery.
It's
like
was
just
like
crickets,
like
I,
mean
Lauren
suppose
been
amazing,
though
I
can't
complain.
I
just
wish,
like
so
I,
didn't
know
a
lot
about
this
until
one
of
the
person
Busan
adorned
who's
with
us.
Now
she
is
really
into
me
and,
like
that,
so
she
was.
G
She
was
contacting
Lawrenceville
for
me
on
her
behalf
and
stuff
like
that,
so
it
was
kind
of
draw
more
attention,
but
I
feel
like
we
always
get
missed
like
somehow.
You
know,
and
you
know
to
be-
it's
still
grateful
that,
like
there
was
a
lot
of
like
first
when
we
first
opened
they
came
and
they
kind
of
like
tell
us
who
they
are,
and
it
was
great
because
it
was
really
helpful
and
then
now
that
this
happened
to
kind
of
trigger
me
like.
G
G
E
C
Well,
we've
actually
recently
begun
to
partner
with
neighborhood
allies
on
some
of
our
coab.
It
19
response
programs
and
so
that
we
can
for
them
outside
of
the
city,
because
the
URA
is
a
is
not
allowed
to
work
outside
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
because
of
its
charter
with
the
state
government.
But
some
of
our
other
nonprofit
partners
have
no
such
border
and
so,
for
example,
this
get
online
grope
girl
online
program.
C
This
first
class
included
boroughs
that
are
adjacent
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
like
Wilkinsburg
McKees,
Rocks,
Sharpsburg,
Aetna,
Millvale,
and
not
our
so
so
we're
similarly
adapting
as
a
as
an
industry
to
transcend
municipal
borders
and
just
change
the
delivery
mechanisms
where
we
have
to
in
order
to
achieve
that
legally
but
yeah,
it
is
super
frustrating
because
we
are
absolutely
economically
interdependent
as
a
place.
You
know,
I
mean
I,
live
in
Tree,
Hill
I
frequent
businesses
in
Millvale
all
the
time
they
come
over.
Here
they
come
to
our
businesses
and
it's
just
silly
to
draw.
H
In
terms
of
innovations,
I
was
just
gonna,
throw
out
there.
I've
seen
more
businesses
start
to
do
almost
take
home
meals
for
two
or
three
or
four
people
and
I.
It
seems
like
you
know,
I
mean
I've
tried
and
it
works
pretty
well.
That
could
be
a
trend
where
you
know
pretty
good
for
restaurants,
that
if
you're
saying
you
know,
here's
a
you
know
family
style,
you
know
for
two
or
three
people.
E
C
G
Think
the
one
in
Chaves
delivery
was
that's
the
first
time
we
actually
tried
to
delivery
and
it
really
forced
us
to
try
curbside
pickup
now,
because
that
was
originally
created
so
that
you
know
anyone
who
can't
get
out
of
the
car
because
they
have
kids.
They
want
good
coffee.
They
were
able
to
just
stand
out
there
and
was
supposed
to
like
bring
it
out.
D
D
Yeah
I
mean
how's.
That,
like
I,
mean
challenges
that
you're
facing
with
employees
any
like
anything
that
you've
been
doing
to
really
make
sure
that
you're
there
for
them
in
general
resources
for
them
I
mean
how
do
you
feel
about
that
right?
Now,
like
it's
hard
to
be
an
employer,
it's
hard
to
even
sole
proprietorships
right
now,
being
the
employee
like
what
are
you
doing
right
now
for
safety
and
other
things?
You
know
like
any
considerations,
though
I.
G
G
It
is
a
little
more
work
for
my
team
because
at
the
garage
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
came
to
the
shop,
but
the
garage
where
we
at
is
where
we
actually,
we
have
whether
it's
what
we
serve
customers
now
so
to
make
drinks.
We
would
have
to
go
back
to
the
specimen
machine
and
which
is
a
little
more
walk.
So
I
just
got
to
make
sure
my
guys,
like
drinking
water,
and
you
know,
staying
healthy
for
themselves.
Neighing
distant
and
cleaning
everything
spray,
everything
down.
Anyone
touches
it
just
spray
it
down.
F
Yeah
my
mom
made
a
decision
very
early
on
to
just
just
shut
down
because
she
didn't
want
to
take
the
risk
of
putting
you
know
large
boys
at
risk
and
then
her
health
and
just
you
know,
knitted
the
the
sort
of
fear
around
spreading,
and
it
was
just
thought
it
was
not
worth
it
the
way
my
mom
thinks
about
it.
Is
you
know
if
you,
if
you're
alive,
then
you'll
make
money,
so
she
wasn't
prioritizing
the
finest.
At
that
point
terms
of
reopening
and
thinking
about
the
future,
she
realize
heavily.
F
Obviously
you
know
everything
the
fact
that
in
terms
of
providing
employees
and
making
sure
they're
taking
care
of
herself
with
face
masks,
gloves
hand
sanitizer
all
those
things
making
sure
that
it's
all
stocks
being
very
intentional
about
how
she's
engaging
with
customers-
and
you
know,
handing
off
the
meals
and
also
experimenting
with
delivery.
I
think
that's
a
very
true,
like
the
sense
of
urgency.
To
think
about
delivery
mechanisms
is
much
more
like
I
think
she
feels
that
much
more
Portantino,
so
we'll
see
how
how
that
plays
out
in
the
coming
months.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
Yeah
I
mean
so
I
was
wondering
like
when,
when
you
all
were
thinking
through
solutions,
you
know
and
and
brainstorming,
how
did
you
do
it
like?
What
was
the
first
thing
that
you
turn
to?
Oh,
is
it
you
know
people
in
your
business?
Was
it
family
members,
friends,
networks
like
entrepreneurs
at
you,
in
your
network
like
who
are
the
first
people
you
go
to
when
you
run
into
an
issue
with
your
business
I.
G
Tend
to
go
to
my
guys,
because
my
my
team,
they
they
they
pretty
much,
decide
everything.
So
we
decided
to
close
one
day
wanted
close.
We
were
just
doing
as
best
we
can
trying
to
stay
afloat
and
when
they
say
hey,
it's
this
a
little
we're
not
really
doing
anything
here
like
we're,
not
really
making
the
profits
that
we
need
to.
Then
it's
no
point
like
for
us
to
be
like
here
and
trying
to
serve
service
where
we're
not
really
getting.
G
E
C
F
So
it's
very
much
so
a
collaborative
decision,
because
I
think
it's
so
important
to
recognize
that
in
the
food
business
like
unless
you
have
your
employees
coming
back
and
they
you
know,
they
feel
welcome
in
your
your
business
environment
like
it's,
it's
not
gonna
work,
it's
very
much,
so
they
eventually
become
family
like
it
really
is
a
family
unit
in
the
restaurant
business
and
so
yeah.
It's
been
the
same.
It's
been
the
same
for
us
very
much
so
collaborative
having
conversations
and
getting
through
it
together.
D
E
In
the
in
my
private
industry,
you
know
I
I'm,
not
saving
those
time
because
they're
already,
you
know
pretty
much.
You
know
computer
oriented
people
you
know
most
of
the
transactions
is
on
done
online
and
actually
it's
like
high
school,
who
calm
me
down
the
peasant?
Is
they
don't
worry?
Everything
will
get
back
to
you
know
the
way
it
was
before
so
I'm
very
lucky.
In
that
sense,
I
mean
but
I'd
like
to
help
you
guys
the
dresser
businesses.
You
know
in
whatever
way
we
can
connect
each
other.
E
D
We're
gonna
talk
about
a
little
bit
just
about
some
resources.
You
know
we're
gonna
close
up
the
next
like
1012
minutes,
I
mean
one
thing.
I
run
to
ask
a
final
reflection
or
question
is
I
was
just
one
resource
that
you
would
really
need
to
keep
your
business
going.
You
could
think
of
one
thing.
That
is
the
most
important
thing
that
if
it
was
offered
that'd
be
great
whether
financing
technical
assistance
support
whatever
it
is
I'm.
Is
there
anything
that
you
think
that
you
would
really
like
to
see
from
all
these
different
resource
providers.
E
You
know
connectivity
is
important
very
much.
You
know
not
so
much
monetary,
but
you
know
people
connectivity
is
very
essential,
so
you
know
let
us
keep
that
going
and
you
know
I'm
happy
to
help
anybody.
They
want
to
call
in
to
me
and
the
way
it's
nothing
to
do
with
money.
You
just
say
you're,
afraid
of
something
and
say:
can
you
please
tell
me
what
to
do
I'm
happy
to
help
so
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
need
anything
on
from
my
business
perspective.
E
D
E
Be
nice,
if
I'm
in
it,
yes,
absolutely
and
if
I
want
to
say
one
thing:
you
know
I
know
the
restaurant
business
is
suffering
a
lot
and
my
heart
goes
out
to
all
of
them.
But
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
one
favorite
restaurant
of
mine,
which
is
in
the
North
hell's
with
the
Taj
Mahal
I.
Don't
know
if
any
of
you
visited
is
the
first
Indian
restaurant.
In
my
opinion
and
I,
like
all
of
you
guys,
I
will
as
soon
as
you're,
open
I'll
be
there.
E
You
can
count
on
it,
but
you
know
wishes
Satie,
who
runs
it.
She's,
an
amazing
woman,
entrepreneur
and,
and
with
all
this
going
on,
you
see
all
these
rats
are
struggling
and
all
that
she
offered
free
service.
Schwarber
is
hungry,
she
says,
don't
go
hungry,
come
to
me
and
I'll
feed
you
and
I'm
offered
my
help
to
her
I
said
I'll,
be
part
of
your
team
to
go
and
see
that
know
he
goes
hungry
in
this
pandemic.
So
big
shout
out
to
her
and
you
know
so
anything
we
can
help
to
support
each
other.
D
Thank
you
so
much,
you
know,
I
do
see
a
lot
of
businesses
stepping
up,
despite
all
the
hardship
and
making
sure
that
they
serve
the
community.
So
thank
you,
I,
don't
take
time
for
me.
Talking
on
anybody
else
have
an
answer
to
that.
Our
thought
on
what
is
your
like
main
thing
that
you
think
would
be
a
great
resource
attack,
I.
D
E
G
Then
I
could
you
know,
think
of
other
things,
but
as
a
young
business,
it's
we're
still
trying
to
stay
afloat.
So
yeah
I
hate
to
be
like
that
guy.
But
you
know,
financing
is
always
gonna
be
there
for,
for
you
know
one
company
like
mine,
it's
just
there's
no
way
around
it
like
I,
don't
know
how
else
to
put
it
in
a
nice
way,
they're
just
in
honesty.
That's
what
it
is.
D
D
G
Think
it's
more
like
what's
available
and
how
to
find
it
I
think
that's
not
a
part.
It's
not
about
like
what
I
mean
what
I
can
know,
it's
just
more.
How
do
I
find
these
like
I,
wouldn't
a
lot
about
these
program
that
was
infirm
like
friends
and
family
and
say,
hey
fat,
these
little
programs
they
have
or
like
people
that
I
know.
That's
like
wanted
me
to
to
support
me
to
give
me
all
these
like
hey.
You
should
look
into
this.
G
D
D
F
I
I
echo
the
money
piece
finances,
that's
incredibly
important,
you're,
not
alone
on
that
one.
I
also
think
it's
really
important.
I
know
my
brother
has
been
spending
hours
and
hours
navigating
just
the
terminology.
These
documents
are
incredibly
confusing
figuring
out
what
we're
eligible
for
what
we're.
Not?
What
are
the
stipulations
whenever
you
do
apply
for
something?
If
you
do
get
it
you
take
it,
you
touch
it
like
you
get
it
back,
because
you
don't
want
to
be
tied
down
like
he's,
it's
just
incredibly
stret
stressful,
and
so
you.
F
Been
calling
our
local
elected
officials
for
some
help
and
navigating
some
things
as
well,
so
I
think
I
think
it
really
does
come
down
to
supports
if
there
was
like
professional
advice
that
was
made
accessible
to
small
business
owners
where
they
could
help
navigate
some
of
these
resources
and
understand
the
stipulations
that
come
along.
That
would
be
incredibly
helpful
and
then
also
just
a
resource
guide
like
where
is
the
money
like?
Where
are
the
loans?
Where
can
you
kind
of
look?
What
are
we
missing?
That's
out
there.
D
Yeah
makes
a
lot
of
sense
all
right,
perfect.
Well,
the
last
five
minutes
you
know,
like
I,
think
riding
rook
world
quick,
think
you
know
like
to
say
talk
about
resources,
Henry
I
think
he
should
chime
in
as
well,
because
we
just
want
to
give
him
something
to
look
at
two
things
quickly.
For
me,
I'll
pend,
in
the
comments
in
facebook
and
I'm
just
a
link
to
remember-
is
a
bitly
/pg
h
in
caps
resource,
and
that
gives
us
there's
a
pilot
of
resource
navigators.
D
That'll
help
you
to
find
these
resources
I'll
particularly
focus
on
underserved
and
under
connected
entrepreneurs,
minority
entrepreneurs.
So
that's
a
pilot
there's
two
people
Samantha
Blackburn
Alexander-
that
can
help
right
now
and
also
I,
think
I
mean
I,
really
the
person
like
the
Allegheny
conference
website.
If
you
click
on
the
banner
at
the
top
and
you
go
to
their
business
link,
they
have
a
lot
of
great
links.
I
know
the
city
in
you
already
has
great
stuff
as
well.
H
I
mean
go
ahead,
green
sure
I
mean
literally
tonight.
I'm
gonna
be
tweaking
some
of
the
stuff
on
our
website
to
launch
more
of
what
you're,
referring
to
like
a
clearinghouse
of
information.
I
know
I
mean
you
know.
We
tried
to
do
like
a
guide
when
this
first
started
and
it's
challenging
me
it's
challenging
for
everyone's
been
such
a
moving
target,
so
much
uncertainty
that
I,
don't
think
anyone's
alone
and
being
like.
H
D
C
I
mean
I,
don't
have
anything
a
whole
lot
to
add.
I've
just
been
really
thrilled
that,
since
this
has
happened
a
couple
months
ago,
Korean
and
I
have
been
a
part
of
sort
of
a
ad
hoc
working
group
across
organizations
and
neighbourhood
allies,
Urban
Redevelopment
Authority
in
the
city,
and
it's
just
been
great
to
just
get
get
to
work
and
focus
on
solving
problems
collectively
using
the
mutual
and
different
strengths
of
each
organization
to
fit
whatever
the
puzzle.
C
Piece
may
be,
for
example,
being
able
to
offer
service
to
folks
in
our
adjacent
boroughs
through
the
go-go
program.
So
yeah,
you
know
I.
The
one
thing
I
was
wondering,
though,
before
we
end
have
you
folks
have
any
of
you
folks
had
to
modify
your
physical
space
or
the
way
folks
interact
with
your
physical
space
or
the
pattern
of
how
customers
do
business
with
you
and
what's
been
your
experience
with
that
like?
If
that
is
that
a
need?
The
books
need
help
with
that.
G
We
definitely
have
in
terms
of
our
shop.
We
have
like
right
now
with
the
weather's
nice,
we'll
have
two
metal
table
block
in
the
garage
and
some
people
who
are
like
here,
who's
been
there
with
us
for
so
long.
They
still
so
use
of
going
around
on
the
demand,
or
that
goes
into
the
shop
they
still
come
in
and
well.
G
I
was
trying
to
block
it
off
somehow
so
that
people
know
that
you
know
this
is
where
you
would
stop,
and
this
is
where
you
would
order
stuff,
but
it's
still
a
little
hard
for
them,
because
we
don't
have
a
big
menu,
so
a
menu
I,
don't
know
if
you
ever
been
to
our
shop.
It's
like
on
a
chalkboard,
that's
like
four
sandwiches,
well
rice
bowl
and
our
coffees
on
the
other
board,
and
it's
kind
of
like
it's
like
lying
to
the
view
of
like
just
go
straight
back.
G
C
Cool
I
appreciate
hearing
about
it
and
and
all
the
feedback
that
we
get
from
you
guys,
but
also
anyone
else
who
you
may
be
in
contact
with
super
helpful
I
mean
frankly,
the
only
reason
we
created
the
get
online
grow
online
program
is
because
of
business
feedback.
When
we
were
trying
to
drive
traffic
to
folks
websites,
they
said
I
don't
have
a
website,
so
you
know
that
that's
the
stuff.
We
need
to
hear
because
you
know
that's
what
tells
us
what
to
do
next.
D
Yeah
I
mean
that's
great
I'm
glad
you
asked
about
that,
and
one
thing
I
wanted
to
kind
of
talk
about
real
quick
I
mean
just
think.
I
know
how
difficult
it
is.
You
know
the
with
uncertainty
and
the
hustle
of
being
a
small
business
owner
sole
proprietor,
especially
with
limited
staff
and
small
business
being
defined
as
less
than
500
employees.
D
Do
you
think
that,
like
you
know
and
any
community,
we
might
not,
you
don't
often
access,
at
least
in
my
experience,
those
resources?
What
do
we
do?
I
mean
like
who
the
support
group
or
a
connection
you
know
connects
thoughts
about
being
more
interconnected
between
our
community?
Would
that
serve
and
some
capacity
is
helping
people
deal
with
what's
going
on
or
what
are
the
things
you
and
any
thoughts
there
I
mean?
Does
that
seem
like
an
issue
from
your
experiences
at
all
Oh.
D
E
Here
you
know,
I've
been
wanting
to
talk
about
this.
You
know
the
mental
health
issues
affecting
the
Asian
Americans.
Is
it's
a
big
deal?
Let
me
tell
you
first
of
all,
as
you
know,
you
know,
for
the
Asian
Americans
is
a
diverse,
diverse
group
and
they
are
very
family
oriented
and
delivered
in
their
silos.
So
to
speak,
and
also
they
don't
talk
about
their
problems
to
the
outside
world
and
there's
a
lot
of
mental.
You
know
health
issues
there
and
yes,
I,
don't
know
how
I
mean
is
the
universe?
E
I
think
you
let
your
pittsburgh
is
doing
something
along
those
lines
trying
to
help
communities
deal
with.
You
know
emotional
fallout
from
all
these
stressful
situations,
right,
I,
think
so
so
and
as
citizens
at
large
I
mean
you
know.
If
somebody
comes
to
me
and
says:
please,
can
you
come
and
communicate
with
this
person
or
talk
I'm
happy
to
do
it
and
what
I'm
not
professionally
equipped
to
handle
those
things?
So
it
is
up
to
the
professionals
to
reach
out
to
us
to
see
how
to
have
the
community.
C
C
Our
financial
empowerment
center
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
open
and
available.
That's
for
financial
counseling,
it's
not
mental
health,
counseling
but
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
have
had
difficulty
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
make
the
best
of
this
situation,
whether
it's
for
their
small
business
or
as
an
individual
human
being
how
to
manage
their
funds.
C
Given
all
the
changes
that
have
happened
and
we
do
have
a
service
that's
available
to
all
Pittsburghers
18
and
up
it's
absolutely
free
of
charge,
they
don't
sell
stuff,
it's
called
the
pittsburgh
financial,
empowerment
center
and
yeah.
All
you
do
is
call
is
make
an
appointment
and
you'll
get
assigned
one
of
four
professional
financial
counselors
and
unfortunately
we
got
to
do
it
by
whatsapp.
Now
you
can't
meet
up
with
them,
because
you
know
that
wouldn't
be
safe,
but
they
are
still
just
as
smart
on
the
internet
as
they
are
in
person.
C
C
D
G
E
G
I
know
that
sounds
dumb
and
I
know
everybody's
going
through
this,
but
the
idea
of
just
talking
it
out
and
just
have
some
just
listen
and
knowing
not
that
my
family
or
my
and
no
one
here,
listen,
it's
like
I
I
know.
There's
people
out
there,
that's
going
through
the
same
thing
and
it
was
good
for
you
to
bring
up
the
nose
and
it
is
mentally,
exhausting
like
it's
stressful
I'm,
always
putting
out
this
face.
I'm
smiling
I'm,
just
that's
just
how
I
am
you
know,
but
deep
down,
it's
like
it's
this!
G
Oh
that's
a
lot!
You
know
it's
a
lot
to
take
in
I'm
always
trying
to
like
steer
my
boat
where
everybody
knows
like
hey,
it's
gonna
be
okay,
your
captain's,
not
just
my
mentality,
you
know,
but
you
know
my
guys
I
think
that
they
know
and
I
think
it's
very
important
if
there
is
like
some
sort
of
group
that
just
all
business
owner
can
just
come
in
and
just
talk
and
just
just
throw
ideas
on
hey.
This
is
what
I'm
doing
and
or
just
like
a
group
like
I,
guess,
Facebook
group
or
something
like
that.
G
Where
I
didn't
think
about
this,
but
it
would
be
nice
just
have
like
just
small
business
owner
who
just
wants
to
chime
in
and
say,
hey
I'm
doing
this
a
day,
maybe
that's
something
that
I
need
to
learn
from
other
people
like
your
ideas
of
like
having
family
meal
plans
or
something
like
that,
I've
seen,
other
people
do
it
and
like
okay,
why
is
while
and
why
I'm
like?
Why?
Why
is
it
not
clicking?
This
is
something
that
you
know
talking
about.
D
Are
great
ideas?
Man
thanks
for
sharing
and
yeah
I.
Think
that's
I
would
really
I
appreciate
that,
to
you
know,
understand
the
stress
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
pivot
at
this
time,
and
just
seeing
people
talk
about
it,
role
like
definitely
mean
something
I
above
any
I,
don't
want
to
take
away
from
your
time.
Yeah.
F
So
I
think
especially
like
in
the
South
Asian
community
I
think
that
there
has
been
historically
a
lack
of
sort
of
openness
about
talking
about
mental
health.
That
I
think
we
often
times
struggle
to
come
up
with
the
right
word:
there's
a
language
to
like
kind
of
give
those
feelings
words
and
to
have
those
conversations
I
think
it
can
oftentimes
be
highly
stigmatized
for
my
mom
for
our
family
at
least
I
think
you
know
she's
an
immigrant
so
like
when
she
came
to
this
country
like
there
was
a
lot
of
different
challenges
that
she
played.
F
You
know
job
hopping
and
so
there's
this
sort
of
like
fight
or
flight
mode.
That's
ingrained
in
her
and
I.
Think
it's
really
difficult
for
her
to
unlearn
that
so
anytime,
there
is
sort
of
like
crisis
that
happens.
She
faces
a
lot
of
challenges
in
terms
of
how
to
navigate
that
I'm,
pretty
sure
she's,
not
the
only
one.
It's
a
small
biz
owner
who's,
an
immigrant
I
think
that's
that
is
a
norm
in
the
immigrant
community.
I
would
imagine
so
yeah
it.
F
You
definitely
face
the
challenges
and
so
I
think
that's
where
you
know
my
role
comes
in
and
kind
of
talking
her
through
it,
and
you
know
because
I
was
able
to
you
know,
experience
some
parts
of
the
city
that
she
hasn't.
I
can
kind
of
help
her
through
navigating
that
and
giving
her
some
of
the
tools
that
she
needs
to.
D
Well,
thank
you
and
I
think
that's
really
a
great
place
to
leave
it.
You
know
like
where
the
network
so
important
the
place
for
conversation.
The
sharing
of
resources
you
know
to
make
sure
ecosystem
in
our
family
in
our
network
is
more
connected.
I
would
help
all
of
us.
You
know
like
financially
as
well
as
just
like
mental
health.
D
Wise,
like
so
I,
think
that's
an
important
next
step,
especially
because,
like
you
know,
I,
don't
I
can
count
on
one
hand
the
number
of
AAPI
businesses
that
I
know
that
actually
received
the
PPP
and
I
know
that
businesses
lost
income
like
forty
to
sixty
percent
of
revenue
like
a
month
before
everybody
else.
You
know
like
and
I'm,
assuming
on
restarting
that
we're
going
to
be
facing
challenges
longer
than
a
lot
of
other
businesses
as
well.
D
So
then,
knowing
that
that's
coming
and
impending
and
that
we're
gonna
have
to
be
especially
creative
about
how
this
uniquely
impacts
our
community
I
think
one
of
the
best
things
that
we
could
do
is
stay
connected
to
each
other.
You
know
the
concept
of
affinity
group
that
was
mentioned
earlier
is
people
that
have
a
shared
interest
at
a
shared
relatives
that
we
come
together
and
stick
together
because
we
have
to
so.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
words
today
and
sharing
and
I
think
that
helps
a
lot
of
people
understand.
D
You
know
like
how
to
be
active
and
pivot
and
I
really
appreciate
what
y'all
have
done
to
kind
of
stay
active
in
your
businesses
and
set
a
great
example
for
the
community
and
thank
you
for
being
very
open
and
honest
and
sharing
your
experiences
and
the
real
challenges
that
exist
and
I
appreciate
that
and
Ernest
anything.
You
want
to
say
before
we
close
out
yeah.
A
D
A
Started
to
see
decreases
in
business
for
a
lot
of
our
Asian
American
neighbors,
because
our
Chinese
American
neighbors,
it's
very
important
to
support
our
local
small
businesses
either
integral
you
know,
parts
of
our
community
fabric
and
these
communities
are
integral
parts
of
our
broader.
It's
for
family
and
our
product
for
community,
so
I
know.
A
E
A
Then
Kanak
spoke
a
little
bit
about
the
chamber
as
well
and
consider
getting
involved
with
that
as
well.
So
just
want
to
give
people
that
reminder
I
remind
her
that
next
week
we
will
be
having
our
fourth
session
for
Asian
Pacific
American,
Heritage
Month.
It
will
be
focused
on
the
youth,
so
please
stay
tuned
to
the
welcoming
Pittsburgh
Facebook
page,
we'll
have
more
information
about
that.
We'll
have
more
about
the
resources
from
this
and
some
of
our
previous
sessions
as
well,
and

you
