My morning was spent with my parents, who shared their advice & wisdom with me, reflecting on their decision to leave Mexico 30+ years ago. As my dad simply put it, it was “destiny.” Feeling blessed for their unconditional love & support while I discover my own destiny 🇲🇽🌹

NEW: The restaurant industry isn’t exactly known for embracing immigrant entrepreneurs from low-income, mixed-status families, so these industry newcomers—all former or current activists—formed their own quasi-support group. My latest for @TheCounter: https://t.co/x0zaktsQtx

"Women-owned businesses create women-friendly work environments. And the more we can do to support the success of those businesses, the more we can do to support the success of their women employees."

.@GustoHQ Principal Economist Liz Wilke on why the wage gap narrowed: "At the beginning of the pandemic and through 2020, women at the lower end of the wage spectrum... were terminated at rates disproportionately higher than men in the same category." https://t.co/Jb7k9tf4PH

[Samantha Masunaga @smasunaga]

“The conversation can’t end with, ‘This is an inspiring trend.’ We have to find ways to support these new business owners.”

I wrote about the many women who started businesses for the first time during the pandemic: https://t.co/jr6nuPunGM

[Melissa Serrano @meliss_106]

‼️Check out @parduel's recent @GustoHQ report analyzing microdata which shows the wage gap narrowed for all the wrong reasons...

And as a result, women lost $40+ billion more in earnings than men over the past year.

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

The gender pay gap shrank in 2020, but not because companies started paying women more https://t.co/vxyx42OMyy

Wow I just cried thinking of my Oliver who passed away to cancer 6 years ago this year. Dogs are truly life changing - losing one hurts so much. Sending love and hugging mine closer tonight. 🤍

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

This afternoon was a difficult one for our family. We said goodbye to our best friend—Bo—after a battle with cancer. We are grateful for the love you showed him over the years. Please hug the furry members of your family a little closer tonight—and give them a belly rub from us.

@PhilzCoffee do you think you'd ever open a location in Sonoma County? Preferably, Petaluma. I miss you!!

New entrepreneurs are crucial to our economic recovery because they provide new businesses and jobs.

So why are they locked out of federal aid?

Must read by @lexir on why Congress must do the right thing and open PPP aid to businesses founded after February 15.

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

Opinion | Businesses created after the pandemic started still create jobs for the economy — they shouldn't be left out of federal aid https://t.co/tjjcvraHw2
