I first want to commend you for such an innovative way to engage community while serving as a connector to an underrepresented businesses (all over the world). I was pleasantly surprised and encouraged by this platform, thank you.
I attended Open Engagement 2015 (in Pittsburgh) and the One Large team was the first I met (stepping on to the Carnegie Mellon campus). They were a delight and I LOVED the decorative flower hats (I wanted one). The team was inviting and informative which made me want to participate. I took the challenge with a hope of uncovering a business in a city I was not familiar with (this was my first visit to Pittsburgh). This quest offered me the opportunity explore with a purpose (again, I am grateful). I spend my $10 at a Caribbean restaurant; I was not disappointed. The name of the establishment is Rasta House, and their Jamaican patties are the TRUTH. I am inspired and encouraged by what you are doing and look forward to sharing your mission with others.
Until we encounter each other again, be well and do good.
With love, respect, and sincerity,
Jai
