Mayra Velazquez of the restaurant Xingones in Oakland truly embodies the idea of taking care of our communities and putting our communities first. You'll hear in her story how she has set her own needs aside throughout the pandemic to make sure her restaurant family had a place to sleep, food to eat, and a way to support their families. Mayra reminds us of how important it is to be thoughtful about the businesses we support and how we spend our money—even one meal at a restaurant can make a direct impact on the livelihood of the workers there.
