LISC Changemakers Podcast: Promote Reslience in South LA

Can you believe we've been living through the Coronavirus Pandemic for almost a year now? And though most of us are practicing social distancing, wearing masks and doing what we can to keep our families safe and healthy, small businesses - especially those in Black and Brown communities - are feeling the impact of the pandemic just as intensely (if not more so) as when it first began. How can business owners not only adjust to the “new normal,” but also determine the best way to promote resilience in our communities in a way that is sustainable and provides for people struggling in the current moment?

LISC LA attempts to answer this question through the frame of economic development and community investment in the latest edition of their Changemakers LA podcast.
