NYC entrepreneur
As a Peruvian immigrant, I was fortunate to arrive to the USA, attend college and never faced discrimination ... until months ago. While working as an architect in New York City, I decided to open my own spa business. I truly found happiness by focusing on wellness and helping others with honesty. My employees were treated as family, my clients as friends and spa guests with so much honesty and respect. I heard upsetting stories the staff experienced on a daily basis, such discriminative insults by neighbors on the streets and on subways; however, I never faced a personal situation myself. My team of twenty members stayed at my business for decades. I found my true happiness focusing on Health and Wellness, being honest to my clients and creating a pleasant work environment between my team.

When a Store becomes Family, and a Community becomes Home
When you become an adult, spreading your wings can be one of the most rewarding things- but it's also amongst the most frightening. After finishing University, I was ready for the next step, and so I moved three provinces away, raring for a challenge. Although I quickly became enamored with the beauty and adventure in this new place, I was still missing something. I was missing the feeling of home- that feeling of contentment when you step into your favourite coffee shop; the amount of comfort you feel when you turn the key in your lock at the end of the day.

How Has The Pandemic Affected Disabled UK Workers
With everyone being told to stay at home unless absolutely necessary due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many businesses and employees are losing funding and income. This can be due to a loss of sales as if they are not in work they can't earn the money that they need to survive. It could also be because their employer or the person who pays their wages is off sick and this means that that employees will have less money to spend on every day items.

Faces of Courage
Dear COVID-19 Heroes: I am talking to the uniformed forces who are still serving, still protecting and still putting their lives on the line. Not only from everyday dangers, but now facing new ones. To the heroes still fighting for our nation, putting out fires, saving our lives daily, and protecting our citizens and ensuring we are safe from within and from without our borders. To the warriors who don't get to go home everyday, and miss out on birthdays and holidays to protect us, even through a global pandemic.

Thanks For Letting Me Stay Home
I'm out of milk. It goes on the list. Add some bananas, a carton of eggs, and a few more items that I've run out of out, and I'm ready to check out. There's no waiting in line, putting my things on a conveyor belt, or running my debit card through the pay slot.

Pandemic Blues and the Server’s Plight
I won’t compare the server’s plight to slavery. They do not come close. However, just like racism, the desire from the privileged and the entitled to be serviced at the expense of others’ safety and health, is very much alive and well—and I guess one can’t help but draw parallels between the two.

Working in the Modern Mining Industry
Mining is a profession that has been around for hundreds of years. In some respects, mining has not changed all that much since the 19th century. However, there have also been innovations made that have changed the day-to-day reality of mining in some important respects. Mining work is lucrative if you can get it, but job availability has declined somewhat in recent decades. Part of the reason that it pays so well is because of the element of danger involved, which still persists despite efforts to improve the safety of the mines.

Starting something new
After finishing school and studying in university for 4 years I had to find a job. Ideally I was supposed to be looking for one during my master degree but unfortunately life does not go as planned. With the dissertation, exams and all of the assignments I could only get to apply to 3 jobs, obviously with no reply. Since I am from Cyprus and my studies were in the UK I had to come back home to apply from here for jobs, which can be hard.
