Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

In our latest podcast, Ashurst Associate Nathan Huynh chats with Yanki Tshering from Accompany Capital about Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.  In this special episode, Ashurst Associate Nathan Huynh chats with Yanki Tshering from Accompany Capital, a New York based and award winning microlender for refugee and immigrant owned businesses and a pro bono client of Ashurst's. Yanki discusses the economic discrimination against the AAPI community, the impact of the COVID pandemic and why she has a positive outlook for her clients and business owners. "In place of the businesses that closed during the pandemic, we’re seeing many new businesses, in particular, a high percentage of women owned start-ups and we're looking at ways of supporting these businesses. We are also very fortunate that there is federal relief and not just debt but grants to support these businesses, so we have a very positive outlook."    The information provided is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all developments in the law and practice, or to cover all aspects of those referred to.
