Covid19 pandemic has revealed the historic struggles of disadvantage business enterprise. These enterprises and their communities are struggling. There is a population within this disadvantage business enterprise communities that is often ignored, Immigrants. Immigrant owned businesses & communities have been impacted just as hard from the pandemic and civic unrest, yet they received very little from the previous relief packages due to technical challenges, financial hardship and lack of funding and access to small business loans. COVID-19 has also brought additional challenges to these communities and highlights the need for community-led approaches to support individuals in the prevention and management of chronic mental conditions. We collaborate and have constant dialogue about ameliorating and bringing awareness to the disparity between African immigrants and the rest of Minnesotans. https://www.mnawc.net/events daily 0.75
