From YouTube: Equity Series: Equity & The Quiet Care Campaign
Description
Officials from Mayor Peduto's Welcoming Pittsburgh Initiative were joined by some of their partner organizations to talk about the Quiet Care Campaign, a program developed in the wake of the pandemic for culturally-sensitive education around COVID-19 for newcomer residents to ensure information was shared in an exclusive and equitable way to promote public health for all.
A
A
A
B
Hey
everyone
good
afternoon
at
this
point
my
name
is
ella
muhammad.
I
am
a
policy
coordinator
for
the
office
of
mayor,
william
peduto's
office
of
equity,
and
I'm
just
excited
to
have
this
conversation
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
really
great
work
that
this
group
of
people
have
been
doing
for
the
past
several
months.
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
some
of
those
great.
C
D
E
A
I
run
the
my
brother's
keeper
initiative
and
you've
been
involved
with
welcoming
pittsburgh
initiative
as
well,
but
I
would
say,
as
well
as
with
the
policy
team,
we've
talked
about
some
of
that
work
in
previous
conversations.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
than
the
conversations
we've
had
in
the
past.
So
in
your
own
way
tell
us
why
we're
here
today
and
what
we're
gonna
talk
about.
B
So,
a
few
months
ago,
during
one
of
welcoming
pittsburgh's
community
calls,
we
actually
had
some
members
of
the
united
somali
bantu
community
association,
as
well
as
the
somali
bantu
community
association,
come
on
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
problems
that
they
were
seeing
in
their
community
related
to
coven
19,
specifically
in
northview
heights.
At
the
same
time,
wassi
muhammad,
who
is
the
previous
executive
director
of
the
islamic
center
of
pittsburgh.
Currently
with
the
pittsburgh
foundation,
was
hearing
the
same
things
and
decided
to
bring
a
group
of
people
together.
B
Many
of
them
you
see
on
this
call
some
of
them.
You
don't
see
on
this
call,
so
we
brought
together
welcoming
pittsburgh
northside
christian
health
center
who's,
represented
here
by
dr
sigmund,
one
of
the
local
refugee
resettlement
agencies
ajapo,
as
well
as
a
few
other
organizations
to
help
us
curate
a
campaign
to
target
covid,
19,
culturally
sensitive
copenhagen
education
in
the
northview
heights
region,
specifically
as
far
as
our
as
this.
A
A
B
I
see
the
role
of
government
as
like
a
convening
body
and
a
body
that
is
there
to
provide
resources,
and
so
in
many
ways,
dr
sigmund
and
the
rest
of
the
executive
committee
that
convened
to
put
together
this
initiative,
they're
the
ones
that
helped
lead
this.
That
are
the
ones
that
put
this
together
and
and
did
the
work
I
was
there
to
hear
about.
You
know
what
what
do
you
need
this
week?
B
What
what
kind
of
resources
can
the
mayor's
office
do
to
support
you,
and
I
think
that
that
that,
like
I
said
earlier
specifically
with
this
kind
of
campaign
where
it
needed
to
be
community-led
and
the
faces
of
community
members
needed
to
be
at
the
lead,
the
only
thing
that
government
can
do
at
this
point
is
to
provide
resources
and
listen.
So
that's
kind
of
what
we
tried
to
do.
A
Also,
you
can
look
at
welcoming
america
and
see
how
this
work
looks
around
the
nation
and
I
may
be
biased,
but
we've
got
a
pretty
cool
thing
going
here.
Let's
turn
to
our
community
partners,
we
have
such
a
great
opportunity
to
hear
directly
from
them.
Dr
kathy,
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
today.
I'd
love
for
you
to
share
a
little
bit
about
the
health
center.
If
you
feel
willing
and
then
talk
to
us
about
how
this
particular
campaign
came
about.
C
Yeah,
so
northside
christian
health
center
has
been
around
for
26
27
years
right
here.
On
the
north
side,
it
was
planted
and
founded
by
three
docks,
two
of
which
went
to
allegheny
center
alliance
church.
That
also
served
as
like
a
co-planting
entity,
and
the
mission
was
really
a
medical
mission
to
reach
the
most
vulnerable,
the
most
marginalized,
and
to
help
the
community
develop
healthy
community
strategies.
C
We
provide
primary
health
care,
we
provide
dental
care,
behavioral
health
care
and
love
to
partner
with
our
community,
and
it's
true,
I
tell
you,
it's
been
just
a
wonderful
opportunity
and
blessing
to
partner
with
the
mayor's
office,
particularly
working
with
allah,
who
has
been
the
glue
in
so
many
instances
as
folks
from
various
places
got
together
with
this
quiet
care
campaign.
She
helped
us
organize
and
help
us
move
forward
when
places
when
we
got
stuck,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
help
and
for
just
pulling
us
together.
C
C
We
were
concerned
about
our
friends,
our
immigrant
friends,
who
had
language
challenges,
cultural
challenges
and
whatnot,
and
so
we
started
to
conceptualize
a
culturally
informed
covet
19
education
and
safety
strategy
developed
by
the
community
for
the
community,
and
so
in
working
with
a
number
of
african
immigrant
groups.
We
felt
it
was
important
to
have
african
leadership
at
the
table
as
we
develop
strategies
and
working
with
african
americans.
We
felt
it
important
to
have
that
type
of
leadership
at
the
table
as
we
develop
strategies,
and
so
we
know
in
many
of
our
communities.
C
The
executive
committee
allah
has
just
mentioned.
We
came
together
as
leadership
from
the
african-american
community.
We
had
reverend
greg
from
project
destiny
from
other
african
communities.
We've
had
dr
williams,
which
is
from
ajapo
she's
nigerian,
and
we
had
just
it
was
just
such
a
beautiful,
bringing
together
thereof
and
recognition
of
the
differences,
but
also
similarities
in
that
we
were
all
at
high
risk
for
covet
19.,
and
so
we
have
some
really
great
news
that
I'll
share
towards
the
end,
but
just
to
coming
together
and
brainstorming.
A
Thank
you
so
much
dr
kathy
sarajee
I'd
like
to
turn
to
you,
man.
It's
been
a
while
man
since
we,
since
we
last
talked
on
the
north
shore,
it's
really
good
to
see
your
face
to
have
a
chance
to
collaborate
like
this
during
a
global
pandemic
road.
You
told
us
if
you
told
the
two
of
us
that
this
would
be
the
case.
We'd
have
a
lot
of
questions.
I
think
I'd
love
to
just.
D
I
am
the
executive
director
of
that
of
united
somali
banter,
greater
pittsburgh
and
what
the
challenges
in
when
first
covet
19
hit
was
like.
How
do
we
know
right?
The
language
barrier
was
the
first
thing
like
they
didn't
understand.
What
coven
19
was
that
you
know
what
the
seriousness
how
like
they
didn't
know
the
level
of
certain
seriousness
it
was
and
what
they
needed
to
do
just
stay
safe
right.
It
was
all
in
english,
but
it's
like
it
needed
to
be
carried
around
word
of
mouth.
So
in
our
in
our
community.
D
We
kept
on
having
a
hard
time
letting
people
know
like
people
listening
to
at
the
same
time
like
it's,
it's
like
you're,
letting
them
know
hey.
You
need
to
stay
safe
by
having
a
mass,
a
glove
on
for
a
certain
point
gloves
on
masks
on
staying
six
feet
away.
It
was
just
that
they
weren't
taking
that
as
serious,
and
it
was
like
a
somewhat
a
cultural
thing
like
gathering
was
the
most
issues
like
they.
They
couldn't
stay.
D
It's
like
it
was
that
important
thing
that,
when
families
have
something
it's
gathering
was
a
big
thing.
So
with
that
it
was
just
like
like
we
need
to
distance
ourselves
when
we're
gathering,
and
we
have
to
have
certain
limited
numbers
of
people
in
that
gathering
areas.
So
it
was
just
like
getting
getting
the
concept
like
having
them
get
used
to
the
concept
of
socially
distancing
and
having
a
mask
on
washing
their
hands
or
having
gloves
on
so
it
was
really
really
difficult
for
us
to
to
get
the
word
out
because
it
was
like
somebody
said.
D
D
A
D
Folks
was
primary
hearing
sources
on
the
news
and
then,
and
then
all
of
us
like
it's
a
in
the
immigrant
community.
Whatsapp
is
the
biggest
thing,
so
they
certain
people
hear
in
the
news
and
then
pass
it
along
on
whatsapp
and
then
some
words.
It's
like
a
it's
like.
It
was
like
a
telephone
games
like
some
words,
weren't
translated
like
the
what's,
the
cdc
guidelines
were
and
what
they
heard
from
the
news.
So
it's
like
one
person
says
something
else
is
just
down
down
the
line:
it's
a
different
story
or
a
different
information.
D
D
Thanks
to
sergeant
tiffany
cost
at
the
pittsburgh
police
she's
been
helping
me
navigate
with
global
links.
Getting
me
some
gloves,
masks
on
and
dr
kathy
sigmund,
helping
me
with
with
everything
that
I
just
needed
like
it
was
just.
I
had
so
much
support
that
I
it
was
just
a
phone
call
away.
I
could
just
call
allah
and
she
could
just
tell
me
just
hey
like
let
me
get
that
for
you,
I'm
gonna
contact
somebody
that
could
help
you
with
that,
and
it's
just
like
every
phone
call.
D
It
made
it
so
so
much
easier
on
my
end,
just
to
make
a
phone
call
that
phone
call
like
I
had
a
whole
bunch
of
resources
there
and,
like
somebody,
was
already
at
the
end
of
the
line,
just
waiting
for
me
to
make
that
phone
call
to
help
me
with
that.
So
it
was,
it
was
a
blessing
and
it
was
this.
The
easiest
transition
that
I
ever
had.
B
D
A
Well,
we
really
appreciate
you
and
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
it's
so
great
to
talk
to
you.
I
think
we
have
been
while
trying
to
reconnect
so,
dr
kathy
I'd
like
to
turn
to
you
I'd
like
to
know
you
know
how
does
this
start
coming
across
your
radar?
You
know,
I
remember
for
myself
towards
the
end
of
this
towards
the
end
of
the
winter.
A
A
C
That's
a
that's
an
excellent,
excellent
question.
At
first,
it
came
across
my
radar,
like
everybody
else,
listening
to
the
news
and
hearing
the
various
stories
and
then
personally
having
family
members
that
had
cover
19
and
then
hearing
about
our
global
community
here
in
the
greater
pittsburgh
area,
with
folks
coming
down
with
covet
19
and
then
wassie,
noting
about
the
smally
bantu
community
with
covet
19,
and
we
were
like
hey,
we
have
got
to
get
this
together.
C
C
These
really
significant
public
health
matters,
and
so
we
had
self-sight
swap
tests
like
we
were
on
the
first
groups
of
of
with
other
fqhcs,
and
there
are
a
number
across
the
greater
pittsburgh
area
that
has
sell
swap
tests,
not
the
horrible.
You
know
those
tests
that
people
were,
you
know
really
turning
people
away,
and
so
we
had
all
the
supplies
is
like.
How
do
we
get
it
out
to
folks?
C
A
Thank
you
so
much
benoit
go
to
you.
I
think
we
see
there.
Okay,
you're
still
you're
still
a
guy
man.
I
couldn't
tell
if
you
were
just
you
know,
looking
off
pensively
into
the
distance
or
frozen.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time.
Can
you
hear
me
all
right,
yeah,
okay,
yuri
terrific,
so
my
question
is
to
you:
man
is
you
don't
live
in
northview
heights,
and
so
I'm
curious
how
you
were
made
aware
of
what
was
going
on
there
and
and
then
what
compelled
you
to
get
involved
and
what
that's
been
like.
E
Well,
just
so
you
know
real
quick.
I
want
to
thank
thank
dr
sigmund
because
she's,
the
one
who
got
in
touch
with
me
just
so
you
know,
alongside
cut
short
last
year,
she's
one
of
the
people
that
took
me
north
view
height,
because
she
heard
about
me
to
my
regular
job
and
that
kind
of
raised
something
in
me.
She
planted
the
seed
and
I
wanted
to
up
my
people
and
then-
and
I
got
elected
last
year
as
the
leader
of
the
community
community
in
pittsburgh.
E
E
So
to
get
back
to
your
question,
why
they're
jumping
so
I'm
a
strong
believer
that
as
a
leader
you,
every
leader,
need
to
understand
the
willingness
of
their
people.
It's
very
important.
You
know,
like
a
wise
man,
told
me
once
that
most
people
leadership
don't
make
the
right
decision
or
bring
the
appropriate
up
to
the
people,
because
they
don't
have
the
right
information.
E
A
E
You
know
it
was,
it
was
exciting.
Well,
it
was
kobit
and
you
know
dr
sigma
made
sure
she
was
like
you
guys
make
phone
calls.
You
don't
need
to
go
on
the
ground
in,
but
culture
people
like
that
face-to-face
interaction,
all
right,
so
I
had
the
kind
of
dilemma
because
I've
heard
your
parents
and
I
have
a
one-year
baby
in
house.
I
was
like
okay,
I'm
not
gonna.
Do
this
all
right,
but
I
still
I
was
like
talking
to
my
wife.
I
was
like
you
know
what
I
I
need
to
be
on
the
ground.
E
I
need
to
do
this.
It's
for
the
better
of
a
communist
community,
not
just
that,
but
our
big
community,
which
is
pittsburgh
right.
So
people
were
very
excited
to
see
their
leader
because
we
don't
have
that.
We
didn't
have
that
many
chance
to
meet.
You
know
our
11
meetings.
You
know
I
mean
so
it
was
like.
E
I
said
it
was
beautiful
in
a
sense,
but
in
the
other
end
something
I
want
to
add,
and
I
think
will
help
us
at
moving
forward
if
you
want
to
keep
on
doing
programs
like
this
is
culturally,
I
mean,
I
believe,
that's
more
such
african.
You
know
we're
like
that.
Maybe
syracuse,
my
team
is
different
right.
We
are
not
used
to
go
to
the
doctors
unless
we
are
very
here.
E
You
know
so
coming
to
them
with
all
the
of
it
was
kind
of
hard
hard
to
actually
have
them
like
move
forward
and
do
testing
you
know,
so
they
really
needed
that
reassuring,
so
they
did
more
of
an
education
portion
of
what
we
are
doing
so
coming
out
of
that
I'm
very
excited,
because
I
already
I
actually
understand
what
the
congolese
people
in
pittsburgh
or
the
immigrant
meet.
They
need
more
of
the
educational
program
to
help
them
move
forward
to
let
them
be
healthier
to
help
them
be
more
citizen,
a
better
citizen.
A
D
Yeah
so
before
even
dr
kathy
started
the
whole
quiet
campaign,
I
was
already
on
the
ground
just
running
around,
just
like
as
soon
as
as
soon
as
cover
19
started,
the
kids
were
out
of
school.
I
was
running
around
first
based
on
like
finding
resources
for
families
because
they
needed
all
the
help
they
could
get
because
everywhere
was
closed
right.
D
All
the
supermarkets
were
getting
emptied
out
because
everybody
was
panicking,
and
so
I
was
already
boots
on
the
ground,
helping
out
with
that
resources
then
coming
to
find
out
that
there
was
a
community
member
in
our
communities
that
caught
the
virus,
so
it's
like
so
I
had
it
like.
I
had
to
go
easily
like.
So
what
do
I
do
like?
How
do
I
transition
into
playing
this
role?
D
Not
as
a
doctor
but
as
a
as
a
a
community,
just
like
a
community
activist
just
helping
like
being
a
voice
for
that
person
and
better
educating
them
right?
A
family
member
does
not
just
go
like
within
the
within
the
african
community.
Somebody
just
don't
go
to
the
hospital
like
it
just
like
that
if
they
have
a
cold
they'll,
just
they
don't
run
to
the
hospital
and
say
I
have
a
cold,
they
stick
with
it
until
it's
like
it's
a
serious
illness
and
then
they
were
like
yeah.
D
D
But
now
I
knew
the
symptoms,
but
then
it
was
like
okay,
she
was
new
to
pittsburgh.
Everything
was
new,
so
it's
like
how
do
I
navigate
that?
How
do
I
help
her?
With
that?
I
asked
her
hey,
let's
go
to
the
hospital,
let's
take
you
to
the
hospital
she's
like
no,
like
I'm
not
going
to
the
hospital.
So
it's
like
those
kind
of
things
like
I
had
to
persuade
like
this
is
important.
This
is
for
your
health.
It's
it's
I'd
rather
see
you
alive
than
seeing
you
gone
right,
I'm
like!
Let
me
let's
try.
D
Let
me
do
my
best
keep
to
keep
you
healthy
and
then
what,
after
that,
that
you
can
make
your
own
choices,
but
let
me
just
get
to
get
you
checked
out
and
make
you
feel
more
comfortable,
because
right
now
it's
like
you're
feeling
not
so
great,
and
you
need
all
the
attention
that
you
can
get.
So,
let's
just
get
you
what
you
need
help
with
and
then
we
could
go
from
there,
but
then
you
just
got
it
once
somebody
heard
it
in
our
community
that
someone
has
a
covet.
It
just
went
on.
D
Everybody
was
just
keeping
distance
from
that
person.
They're,
like
oh,
don't
come
near
me,
don't
don't
like
they
just
close
that
person
out
right.
It
was
that's
the
issue
that
we
got
is
certain
type
of
viruses
or
diseases
like
we
in
our
community
is
frowned
upon.
It's
not
talked
about,
it's
not
discussed
or
it's
not
even
it's
never
acknowledged
right.
So
it's
always
kept
down
on
the
lows
like
whoever
has
a
virus
like
you
keep
it
to
yourself
and
if
somebody
finds
out
like
it's
a
it's
just
a
done
deal
like
you're.
D
Never
that
person
is
never
going
to
look
at.
Look
at
you
the
same
so
with
those
kind
of
things
like
it's
just
like
it
was
just
hard
and
still
today,
it's
culturally
it's
it's
different
right,
so
we
can't
like
we.
I
try
to
make
them
as
easy.
I
try
to
make
it
as
easy
as
I
can
for
them.
It's
like
it's
your
choice
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
I'm
going
to
give
you
all
the
options
you
got
right.
If
you
need
my
help.
D
Just
let
me
know
then
I'll
help
you
from
there
we'll
make
a
plan
to
go
forward
from
there.
But
I'll
give
you
all
the
options.
I'm
not
gonna
force
you,
but
I'll
give
you
all
the
options
and
that's
what
I
gave
everybody
hey
like
I'm,
giving
you
this
option.
This
is
what
is
out
there
for
you,
and
if
you
want
it,
let
me
know
if
you
don't,
I'm
not
pressuring
you
there's
no
pressure.
D
So
it's
like
those
certain
kind
of
things
that
and
if
you
do
got
the
virus
like
please
keep
it
just
isolate
yourself
for
a
while,
and
that
was
the
hard
thing
to
isolate
for
a
while,
because
you
know,
culturally
speaking,
we
got
comfortable
of
seeing
family
constantly
like
having
having
family
over.
So
having
that
closed
out
was
a
struggle
and
it
was
a
big
struggle.
D
It
was
a
big
struggle
in
our
community
and
we
couldn't.
It
was
just
hard.
I'm
like
please
try
your
best
to
keep
that
away
like
try
your
best
to
keep
it
isolated,
keep
yourself
isolated
and
keep
yourself
healthy
and
safe
and
don't
give
it
out
to
anybody,
even
though
that
it
was
hard
like
it
was
it's
kind
of
passed
around,
but
we
kept
it
like
that.
D
I
tried
it
to
and
educate
everybody
just
to
keep
it
safe,
just
to
have
everything,
take
extra
precautions,
extra
extra
things
that
they
needed
and
I
gave
him
supplies
like
as
much
as
I
had
right
when
it
when
covet
first
hit.
Everybody
was
scrambling
for
anything,
so
it's
like
whatever
that
global
links
had
for
me
and
dr
kathy
had
for
me.
It
was
that
was
all,
and
I
I
tried
to
give
it
out
to
as
much
as
possible
to
families
that
had
that
needed
the
most
and
supply
hygiene
supplies
that
families
needed
the
most.
A
Still
here
or
we're
so
fortunate
to
have
you
all
as
leaders
in
our
community,
that
much
is
clear,
dr
kathy,
let's
talk
about
the
quietcare
campaign,
let's
just
jump
right
into
it.
What
is
the
structure?
How
does
it,
how
is
it
like
systematized
and
then
what
have
the
findings
been?
How
what's
the
road
been
like.
C
B
C
Kier
sorry
muga
nissa.
Somebody
help
me
out.
I
know
you
guys
yeah,
so
sorry
keir,
please
forgive
me.
I
always
say
that
to
him
he's
a
dear
friend
and
with
from
allegheny
health
network
center
for
inclusive
health,
you
have
benedict
cullen
from
allegheny
county
allah.
You
know
and
also
reverend
greg
from
project
destiny
which
provided
the
core
of
the
committee.
Now
the
committee
was
very
very
important
in
getting
us
with
the
other
community
leaders
that
we
would
be
working
with.
They
served
as
a
governance
committee,
not
quite
bored
but
governance.
C
They
reviewed
our
cultural
survey,
our
cultural
belief
survey
for
covet
19..
They
looked
over
all
of
our
procedures
and
protocols,
so
they
were
very,
very
important.
The
community
leaders,
though,
were
the
arms
the
legs,
the
feet
that
mobilized
our
initiative
now
our
initiative
and
that
we
have
two
of
the
community
leaders
obviously
benefit,
but
there
was
also
fato
amada
from
the
somali
bantu
community
association
and
adisa
bakuru
from
the
burundi
association.
C
But
the
importance
of
the
cultural
belief
scale
was
that
if
you
have
no
sense
of
what
people
are
thinking
about
a
disease
or
about
a
health
condition,
you're
not
going
to
know
how
to
intervene,
and
so
we
heard
all
sorts
of
stories
just
like
swaraj
was
mentioning
all
sorts
of
stories
from
the
community.
My
first
story
came
from
an
african-american
woman
who,
when
we
were
out
there
no
side,
christian
health
center
was
out
doing
the
self
swab
covet
19
tests
and
she
was
like
what
are
you
doing.
C
We
said,
oh
we're
doing
cell
swab,
why
don't
you
come
get
tested
and
she
was
like:
don't
they
give
you
covet
19
when
they
give
you
the
test
and
we're
like,
of
course
not.
That's
not,
but
she
said
everybody's
saying
that,
and
so
there
are
all
sorts
of
beliefs
out
there,
that
we
had
to
negotiate
and
get
around
in
terms
of
encouraging
people
to
get
tests
and
also
to
do
the
social
distancing
and
to
wear
the
mask,
and
so
we
gave
a
cultural
test.
C
This
survey
that
was
given
out
through
community
leaders
to
as
many
african-americans
and
other
african
groups,
and
then
we
did
a
community
education
piece
where
they
we
told
them
well.
This
is
what
the
cdc
says.
This
is
what
you
need
to
do
and
I
think
that's
what
suraji
was
mentioning
when
he
said
you
know
he
showed
her
a
letter.
These
are
all
sorts
of
things
that
you
need
to
do
to
stay
safe
and
then
we
did
kind
of
like
a
post-test
question.
C
What
did
you
learn
and
it's
amazing,
the
kind
of
beliefs
that
were
out
there,
but
also
the
kind
of
information
folks
learned
and
were
very
happy
for
related
to
covet
19.
and
if
you,
if
I
could
or
like
to
share
some
of
that
information
share
some
of
that
data
from
the
community
all
right.
So,
let's
see
if
we
can
get
this
up
and
going
fairly
quickly,
and
here
we
have
it.
So
the
purpose
of
our
cultural
belief
survey
was
to
assess
cultural
beliefs
and
conceptions
about
clover
19
to
look
at.
C
C
C
If
you're
talking
about
the
somali,
bantu
or
congolese,
from
families
and
friends
from
the
burundians
from
friends
and
family
and
african
americans
from
sorry
about
that-
oh
my
goodness,
sorry
from
friends,
family
and
news
as
well,
the
other
thing
was
the
concern
about
catching
covet
19
and
getting
sick
from
it.
59
of
the
participants
felt
that
it
was
a
serious
concern,
very
or
very
serious
concern
or
somewhat
worried
and
concerned
about
catching
covet,
19
and
there's
a
time.
C
Comparison
too
earlier
on
people
were
more
likely
to
be
afraid
of
catching
covet.
19
early
on
it
was
65
percent
of
participants
that
took
the
survey
that
were
worried
about
catching
covet
19
as
compared
to
only
52
percent
of
the
participants.
After
I
think
the
the
the
delineator
was
august,
the
seventh.
So
if
it
was
before
august
early
august,
there
was
a
lot
more
worry
and
concern
than
after
august
where
people
are
getting
used
to
it,
but
still
a
lot
of
concern.
52
percent
of
the
folks
were
like
very
very
concerned.
C
There
were
differences
in
nationality
in
being
concerned
about
covet
19.
with
the
somali
bantu
saying
that
they
were
very
very
concerned
americans,
57
percent
of
americans
were
concerned,
56
percent
of
burundians
and
on
and
on
ago
so
they're.
We
were
very
interested
in
the
differences
among
the
people
groups.
C
As
often
as
as
our
leaders
could
tell
you,
as
often
as
they
could
give
the
survey
it's
based
on
the
information
I'm
giving
you
now
is
based
on
about
300
individuals,
200
of
them
are
african-american
and
about
a
hundred
of
them
are
no
it's
more
than
a
hundred.
So
it's
about
maybe
about
it's,
not
split
his
like
two-thirds
of
israel,
yeah
200
african-american
about
a
hundred
of
african
descent,
including
the
three
people
groups
that
I
mentioned
before
the
smiley
band,
two,
the
congolese
and
the
burundians,
and
so
we
were.
C
C
Yeah
yeah
yeah,
and
so
no
as
we,
we
only
interviewed
each
person
like
once,
but
looking
at
the
the
timeline
of
the
data
we
can
tell
like
earlier
on,
people
were
more
concerned
versus
later
on.
People
had,
you
know
less
concerns
about
overt
19.,
one
one
useful
fact,
and
I'm
trying
to
watch
our
time
here
is
that
it
seems
among
all
the
groups.
Wearing
masks
was
wearing
masks
were
important
and
social
distancing
were
important,
but
you
do
see
ethnic
differences
or
cultural
differences
among
the
african
americans.
C
That
was
also
important
about
comparable
numbers.
Now
this
was
what
was
really.
This
slide
really
captured
some
really
interesting
information,
and
these
are
common
beliefs
about
covet
19
among
the
various
people
groups,
and
so
one
of
the
common
belief,
regardless
of
whether
they
were
african-american
or
burundian
or
somali
bantu,
is
that
covert.
C
19
was
a
punishment
from
god,
so
about
18
of
people
believed
that
and
they
believed
that
it
was
a
punishment
for
god,
because
we
don't
do
right
in
this
world,
and
another
interesting
fact
is
that
if
you
do
a
similar
survey
among
the
majority
population,
that's
not
such
a
you
know
different
response.
You
know
there
are
other
people
that
believe
it's
a
punishment.
C
Okay,
another
fact,
whether
you
are
around
only
a
few
people
or
many
people,
the
risk
of
covet
19
is
the
same
so
about
16
people,
16
of
the
population
that
we
studied
thought
that
was
true.
Another
interesting
fact.
Even
if
you
wash
your
hands
and
wear
a
mask
social
distance,
you
can
still
get
copa
19
if
you're
meant
to
get
it.
So
it's
almost
like
a
karma
sort
of
thing.
C
The
most
exciting
bit
of
information
that
we
have
is
that
66
percent
of
all
of
our
participants
said
they
learned
something,
and
so
that
was
the
main
reason
why
we
did
the
survey,
because
we
wanted
to
educate
the
folks
that
we
were
working
with,
and
so
you
can
see
some
of
the
responses
on
the
slide.
A
lot
of
people
learned
information
about
what
what
are
the
testing
sites?
Where
are
the
testing
sites
and
what
are
the
times
of
testing?
C
They
learned
information
about
social
distancing,
about
wearing
masks
about
how
the
covet
19
virus
is
transmitted
and
why
it's
important
to
social
distance
and
why
it's
important
to
to
wear
a
mask.
They
learn.
The
differences
between
the
types
of
masks
like
an
n95
has
a
whole
bunch
more
protection
than
a
regular
cloth
mask
or
a
regular
paper
mask.
So
it
was.
It
was
a
wonderful
experience
to
work
with
our
community
partners.
C
It
was
just
it
was
really
rewarding
to
know
that
we
help
people,
we
don't
know.
Maybe
we
even
saved
some
folks
from
getting
covet,
19
and
maybe
saved
lives,
but
working
together
with
our
department
of
public
health
as
well.
I
I
should
have
mentioned
that
earlier
on,
dr
bogen
has
been
instrumental
in
reviewing
our
questions
too
and
providing
information
for
us,
and
so
we
were.
C
This
is
very,
very
exciting,
as
well
as
rewarding
to
have
worked
with
the
communities,
the
mayor's
office
and
and
our
county
in
this
project-
and
this
is
the
last
slide-
shows
the
breakdown
of
nationality
and
what
people
believe
they
learned.
Like
the
smiley
band,
2
participants,
100
percent
said
they
learned
something
congolese
89,
the
american
69
percent
burundians.
C
A
A
A
This
is
really
terrific.
I'd
like
to
ask
a
question
about
a
phrase
you
used
at
the
beginning,
which
I'm
resonating
very
strongly
with
you
said
culturally
informed.
You
know-
and
I
hear
I
hear
culturally
competent.
You
know
a
lot,
certainly
something
that
a
lot
of
folks
keep
in
mind,
but
yet
sometimes
I
find
that
people
use
cultural
competence
as
some
kind
of
check
mark
that
they
have
accomplished
and
they
go
in
with
a
sense
that
they
are
culturally
competent
with
whatever
prescriptive
sense
of
what
they're
going
to
do.
A
And
yet
what
I
hear
from
you,
it
seems
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
difference
there
and
the
approach
of
test
of
checking
to
see
what
folks
know
about
checking
in
on
learning
and
all
this
stuff
seems
to
be
a
bit
different,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
nuanced.
Could
you
just
speak
to
it
and
why
it's
important.
C
Absolutely
that's
the
core
of
our
campaign.
We
realize
that
no
matter
how
much
book
knowledge-
and
I
can
tell
you-
I
have
a
lot
of
book
knowledge
about
it.
It
is
not
comparable
to
real
life
experience
and
being
of
that
ethnicity
and
being
of
a
particular
culture.
I
find
it
extremely
disrespectful,
so
I'm
going
to
go
into
my
little
passion
area
too,
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
be
trying
to
not
be
so
passionate.
We.
C
Disrespectful
for
people
who
are
highly
educated
to
think
that
they
know
what's
in
the
best
interest
of
all
these
other
people
groups,
I
mean-
and
it's
throughout
my
years-
and
I've
been
at
this
for
quite
some
time
and
I'm
gonna
put
it
online
35
years
of
this.
My
background
is
as
a
clinical
psychologist,
a
cultural
psychologist
and
there's
no
way
would
I
say
I
know
the
burundian
people.
I
know
the
congolese
people,
I
know
even
african
americans.
C
I
mean
there's
no
way
because
there's
different
ways
that
we
see
these
sorts
of
things,
and
so
it's
imperative
that
we
are
informed
by
the
people
we
serve
concerning
those
strategies
they
believe
that
are
important
to
their
communities.
There's
just
no
way.
We
should
move
forward
that
way
and
I'll
give
you
another
example
of
that.
One
of
my
other
little
pet
peeves.
Is
this
whole
idea
of
blackness
and
black
americans.
I
mean
so
I'm
I'm
appalled
and
I'll
just
say
it
as
a
person
of
african-american
descent
and
other
descent.
C
I'm
appalled
that
in
science
and
medicine,
all
people
of
any
type
of
african
descent
are
pulled
together
as
if
we're
just
one
big
group,
that's
disrespectful.
I
have
conversations
with
my
african
descendant
friends
and
whatever
and
we're
all
on
most
of
the
time,
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
By
about
this
concept
of
what
do
you
mean
by
black?
You
know
is
that
that's
a
that's
a
color
coming
out
of
a
crayola
box
from
my
standpoint
and
I'm
not.
C
I
know
it's
probably
a
touchy
subject
to
some,
but
I'm
arguing
for
the
notion
of
ethnicity
and
culture
being
forefront,
especially
in
discussions
of
health
and
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
health
strategies.
Health
beliefs,
as
well
as
as
the
idea
of
what
can
be
traumatizing
to
a
person
in
regards
to
culture
and
ethnicity,
and
so
I
advocate
for
the
use
of
congolese
american
as
ben
would
say.
Ben
would
know.
A
E
E
I
was
born
and
raised
in
kinshasa,
who's
the
captain
of
the
congo,
and
we
have
about
400
dialects
spoken
in
the
congo
right
so
being
a
leader
of
this
group
ma,
one
of
the
big
challenges
is
trying
to
understand
my
own
people,
culture,
so
I'm
learning
a
culture
within
my
culture,
all
right.
So
with
that
said,
it's
not.
It's
not
gonna
be
easy
for
all
of
us
to
just
embrace
the
pittsburgh
culture.
E
E
E
So
that's
what
I
can
say
we're
open
to
partnership
with
anybody,
because
I
mean
the
oldest
congolese
in
pittsburgh.
I
think
I've
been
of
30
years,
we're
one
of
the
oldest
african
community
here,
but
we're
this
is
what
I
feel
I
feel
like.
We
have
been
stuck
because
of
that
learning
the
culture
more
education
program,
learning
language,
so
we
need
to
bust
a
bubble.
So
I'm
asking
here
in
this
venue
for
anybody
to
come
and
actually
walk
with
us
help
us
help.
E
A
D
Yeah,
so
I'm
gonna
piggyback
on
what
benoit
just
said:
don't
categorize
us
in
one
box
right,
we
are
all
different.
So,
let's
just
not
just
say,
africans
they're
all
africans
right,
there's
different
type
of
africans
in
in
africa
itself.
Africa
is
a
large.
It's
a
big
continent
right.
There
are
different
people
in
africa.
So
for
us,
like,
I
am
from
eastern
africa,
I'm
somali
bantu,
but
there's
congolese
africa
there's
burundi,
africa
right.
We
all
are
not
somewhat
the
same,
but
we
all
have
different
cultures,
different
languages,
different
dialogues
of
languages
that
we
speak.
D
So
it's
not
just,
let's
not
categorize,
just
africa
as
one
we
are
as
one,
but
we
have
different.
We
have
different
uniques.
We
have
different
aspects
of
things
of
way
of
life,
so
let's
not
have
a
close
mind
but
have
an
open
mind
and
work
together.
And
if
you
want
to
learn
about
me,
we
could
do
that.
Let's
learn
about
each
other,
all
right,
we're
always
here
to
educate
others
about
how
different
we
are,
and
we
want
you
guys
to
educate
us
of
how
different
you
are.
D
So
it's
all
it's
a
learning
cycle
for
all
of
us,
so
let's
learn
together.
Instead
of
just
having
that
close-minded
mind
and
just
focusing
on
one
thing,
not
the
bigger
picture
we
want
to,
we
want.
We
came
here
to
have
a
better
life,
but
we're
not
here
to
take
anybody's
place,
we're
here
to
make
our
own
place,
and
this
is
what
we
call
home.
A
My
friend
there
is,
there
is
room
for
you
and
we
are
so
happy
to
have
you
here.
You
know
it
reminds
me
of.
I
had
a
job
when
I
first
started
working
in
the
city
with
meals
on
wheels
and
we
were
based
when
we
first
started
out
of
the
carrick
community
and
I
had
route
3,
and
I
was
talking
to
some
of
the
volunteers
one
day
about
something
that
had
happened
in
the
route
and
I
remember
very
distinctly.
The
volunteers
stopped
me
and
said:
that's
not
carrick.
Those
are
hilltop.
A
People
which
to
me
was
at
the
time,
was
very,
very,
very
close
and
seemingly
the
same
neighborhood,
but
they
were
very
clear
that
that
there's
differences
between
the
neighborhoods
and
I
think
that
honoring
those
differences
makes
all
the
sense
in
the
world.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
for
voicing
that
so
beautifully,
and
so
personally,
any
final
reflections
or
encouragements
from
all
of
you
on
the
call
open
the
up
one
last
time
for
anything
else.
That
might
be
on
your
heart
to
say.
B
I
just
want
to
say
I
have
learned
a
lot
from
the
people
on
this
call,
but
also
just
the
the
rest
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
aren't
represented
on
this
call
that
help
make
this
initiative
possible,
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
our
initiative
is
not
the
only
initiative
in
the
city
that
is
addressing
the
these.
These
concerns,
like
I
said
this
group
focused
on
the
northview
heights
region.
B
B
A
We
are
still
in
the
midst
of
a
global
pandemic,
but
it's
been
our
great
honor
to
talk
about
the
quietcare
campaign
and
this
specific
collaboration
to
a
last
point,
one
of
many
that
are
happening
around
the
city.
We
also
encourage
folks
to
look
at
the
other
organizations
the
ones
represented
on
the
call
and
those
that
have
been
mentioned.
A
Please
take
care
of
yourselves
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
this
equity
series
and
talk
about
work
within
the
city
and
in
partnership,
and
we
have
just
really
enjoyed
this
format
because
of
you
know
this
kind
of
conversation
where
we
get
to
just
learn
about
what's
happening
on
the
ground
through
the
voices
and
the
passion
and
the
identities
of
those
that
are
serving
our
community.
So
very
well.
So
until
then,
like
I
said,
please
take
the
very,
very
best
care
of
yourselves
and
we'll
see
you
next
time.
