@evandawson Applied to both loans - EIDL and PPP the days they opened up for sole props and now getting messages money was out. I’m wondering how many local small businesses actually had anything come through. It’s so defeating and wish I had put that energy elsewhere.

@sample_audrey @evandawson I do see and admire their willingness to be open about mental health struggles in ways I don’t see in other generations. That gives me hope.

@evandawson Many are also being pulled into younger childcare roles. Grateful towards city that Roc Paint Division is continuing remotely, I would like for you to hear from them. We “meet” Tuesday and will send you their words. Twitter isn’t where you will find them!

[Sarah C. Rutherford @MsShaftway]

@evandawson Coverage of how we foster connection during isolation and manage mental health. Creative methods for establishing a new normal during this time. Sharing local stories of the many ways people are handling.

@fecundmind @AdamChodak @News_8 Thanks! This one is actually a collab between Justin Suarez and myself from quite a few years ago!

Sarah Rutherford (@MsShaftway) is doing more than beautifying our fair city, she's empowering it. Let me take you inside her studio and her outsized world tonight on @News_8 at 11. #AdamInterviews #rocpaintdivision @hervoicecarries

[Sarah C. Rutherford @MsShaftway]

This past month I have found myself questioning what my goal is behind this work, especially when it is met with such resistance. Often times there is so much thought, energy and love spent behind the scenes planning things that very well may never come … https://t.co/BR7Dh44OWi
