In the summer of 2020, we saw a outpouring of support for the Black community in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Many people were asking how they could support the Black community and one way was to patronize Black-owned businesses. Put money into the pockets of Black business owners and intentionally choose to try new foods and businesses to experience Black culture. Around this time, platforms such as Google and Yelp, began indicating which businesses were Black-owned and making this a searchable function. Locally, publications including 303 Magazine and Westword, came out with lists of Black-owned businesses to support in Denver.
Fast forward to spring of 2021, as the increase of hate crimes and violence towards Asian Americans became widely covered in media, the growing awareness and concern also had people asking, “How can we help? What can we do to support?”
Many people in our local community have also been asking for lists of Asian-owned businesses so here is our attempt at getting one started for our Denver community. We appreciate all of the suggestions and crowd-sourced help we’ve received to get this going. We acknowledge that this list is not comprehensive and still needs more work and regular maintenance. We hope by including these businesses in our May issue, it gives our readers a sense of the many businesses that are owned by Asian Americans (that are not only restaurants). And in the spirit of May being Heritage Month, we encourage you to try a new business/visit a new provider! Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

For a list of mental health providers in Denver, go to: tinyurl.com/therapists-den
This public list was crowd-sourced on a Google document created by Susanna Park, a global health researcher, who felt it was important for Asians and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders to be able to find therapists that could relate better to them and provide culturally, responsive care.
Therapeasy, co-founded by Christine Thai Way, provides a matching service to connect individuals to therapists in Colorado and to eliminate barriers to mental health services. Learn more at: therapeasy.co.
