TRANSCRIPT:
ASAYA: Hi Zak, my name is Asaya.
ZAK: Asaya called the advice hotline recently to tell me about this thing that he's been experimenting with.
ASAYA: I've been not as active in the streets as I would like to be. So I've been trying to put money where I can. But recently I got together with some people in my family so that we're bundling our money together and then we kind of research groups in my area or their area or wherever they are.
ZAK: And they figure out which organizations they want to support. Asaya has subsequently set up a group like this with his friends too. I got to to Zoom with them the other day.
ASAYA: Zak, are you in Detroit?
ZAK: I am. Yep.
ZAK: What I love about what Asaya is doing...he calls the group CareThinc, by the way, is that they are fighting their own loneliness and doing some good.
ASAYA: So, I reached out to some people that I know and love and care about and would love to be in more consistent contact with.
ZAK:That's Asaya. And here's his friend, Jakey, who's part of the group too.
JAKEY: Like COVID has placed a lot of challenges on how we find and keep community and I like this idea of just creating another avenue for community that's centered around a concept and centered around an idea of care and centered around, you know, being involved.
ZAK: One of the really cool things about this group is when they started, everyone didn't know each other. Asaya was the link, and he was excited to introduce some of his friends to other friends who hadn't met yet.
JAKEY: And I've really enjoyed meeting everyone. And I love my friend, Asaya, and I love to meet his friends, so...yeah, it's really fulfilling.
ZAK: Another member of the group, Jiro, points out that one of the functions here it to...
JIRO: Encourage each other to do something that should actually come naturally to people.
ZAK: Today's advice, get together with the people you love. Pool your resources and put them toward something you believe in. That is pretty, pretty, good, Asaya and Co. If you want to see Asaya and Jiro and Jakey and myself trying to touch each other over Zoom, you can see that screenshot at @BestAdviceShow on Instagram. It's really goofy.
