We’re in Lawrenceville for Restaurant Week with Heather Mediate, Program Director for the Girls Coalition of Southwest Pennsylvania. We get into the role of women’s advocacy organizations in Pittsburgh, and how they are opening countless new opportunities for young women in the city. Also: translating Pittsburgese, adventures in urban gardening, and picking out our favorite Ice Bucket Challenges.
