StreetWise Vendors are Feeling Supported StreetWise has been honored by the tremendous support for our vendors and jobseekers during this very crucial time.

StreetWise works in a unique nexus between homeless and employment services. More than 250 people rely on StreetWise for immediate employment through the sale of StreetWise Magazine and workforce development services to reenter the labor market. The pandemic effectively laid off more than 120 magazine vendors as they are unable to purchase the magazine for 90 cents, then sell the magazine in the community for $2. Jobseekers in the workforce development program face challenges with employment and skills gaps for the current available new jobs.

But that isn't how the story ends!

Each week we have: • Distributed more than 400 meals and pantry items to our community. 45% of our vendors rely on StreetWise as their main source for food (thanks so much to our friends at World Central Kitchen, Isaiah Project, The Zwirn Family and The Daily Planet Ltd.); • Handed out more than 150 hygiene kits including extra soap, and more than 200 masks-and now disposable gloves (thank you to the staff and families at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Academy); • Encouraged regular hand washing and sanitizing to keep all our vendors and their families safe.

This week, we stocked up on 5 gallons of hand sanitizer for people to continue staying safe at StreetWise Headquarters (thank you to our new friends at Thornton Distillery and Apologue Liqueurs).

These items are essential for the health and safety of our participants and allow them to direct other cash relief toward housing, utilities, phone, transportation, and medications.

DONATE

Contributions to the Vendor Emergency Relief Fund provide a lifeline for those cut off from income earning opportunities. Since the shelter-inplace went into effect, we have: • Distributed more than 250 cash subsidies totaling over $15,000 so far; • Provided critical technology access and support to assist vendors and jobseekers apply for additional emergency relief including federal stimulus and private funds (thanks to our partners at the YWCA).

You can also support your vendor by purchasing digital issues and subscriptions to StreetWise Magazine. To do our part to flatten the curve, we have: • Launched the "I'm Still Here" Campaign to encourage purchases and subscriptions of StreetWise Magazine - published exclusively online. Since the launch, digital sales have increased by 150%; • Kept our promise to provide socially-conscious news and raise awareness on the impact of poverty and homelessness in Chicago, across the nation, and around the world.

These efforts provide vendors with some income and preserve the StreetWise model to provide a hand up, not a handout.

It is essential for StreetWise to keep its doors open to provide emergency relief and support, serve as a place to get up-to-date information, check-in and maintain their connection to the broader community. Your continued support is crucial in this effort!

We thank you for all you have done to support our vendors at this time and look forward to a time when we can reconnect in person. We know our vendors can't wait to see you again!

Please stay healthy, Julie Youngquist Executive Director | StreetWise

Cover Story: Mother's Day

8

ESPN's documentary, "The Last Dance," which followed Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 NBA championship Chicago Bulls, inspired this week's conversation. The 10-part series airs through May 17.

As all Chicago events and gatherings are cancelled until further notice, we are replacing our usual calendar with recommendations from StreetWise vendors, readers and staff to keep you entertained at home!

Since the world is facing circumstances unlike anything we have ever experienced, we are celebrating Mother's Day by asking our vendors what advice their mothers gave them to get them through tough times.

Vendors Russ Adams, John Hagan and Donald Morris chat about the world of sports with Executive Assistant Patrick Edwards.

The Two Greatest Teams

John: Yeah, I remember when Krause told a reporter "Players and coaches don't win championships; organizations win championships."

Even when Krause clarified the statement, noting that the one word removed from the quote—“alone”—killed the meaning, he still received heat for it.

Russ: I got it, though. But, regardless, even if he did say "Players and coaches ALONE don't win championships...," it irked the team and Phil Jackson, the head coach of all six eventual championship teams.

Patrick: Right. I mean, I don't believe he said anything ridiculous-ridiculous, but not everything needs to be said...or in such a way. Obviously, there're a ton of factors that go into a championship team--the stadium upkeep, trainers, the fans-Don: Don't forget the cheerleaders. Shoot, these ten

women go all out to keep not only the fans engaged, but the players also. I know when I played, they definitely helped my game.

John: Not to mention they look pretty damn good doing it. That's hard work.

Don: Agreed. And despite all that and other bull--some non-Krause thrown--the Bulls still won.

Patrick: True. Now, question, fellas: 1st three-peat team versus the 2nd--talk about it.

Russ?

Russ: Longley, Rodman, Kukoc, Randy Brown, Kerr, Harp, Buechler, Wennington.

Don: Man, it's weird seeing these names without Jordan's and Pippen's.

Patrick: As good as this cast of characters could be individually at times, Jordan and Pippen solidified the mess out of it all.

John: For me, it has to be the 1st team. Mainly because I

NBA History

believe the opponents were stronger. The Lakers, Trailblazers, and Suns were more formidable than the Supersonics and the back-to-back Jazz. So, even though the 2nd-team Bulls got stronger as a team, the primary challengers became weaker.

Russ: Just an exciting time.

Look, I've been a Bulls fan for forever, so the difference for me is that that 1st team--that first year--that was special.

We’d gone through a lot to get that one. The Detroit Bad Boys a.k.a. the Pistons.

Don: A.k.a., Beasts!

Patrick: Tough years. I remember those.

Russ: But, yeah, fellas, the second team was machinelike. Straight built to win.

Don: So, the second team beats the first?

Russ: Yeah, but...that first championship meant so much more in my eyes. A long time coming and very hardearned.

www.streetwise.org

SPORTSWISE

Patrick: Speak it like it is. So, today, fellas, let’s talk arguably about the greatest two teams-yep, not just The greatest, but possibly the two greatest teams—in NBA history.

Russ: Sounds like Da Bulls [1991 championship team] to me.

Patrick: Speaketh Legend #1.

I'll begin with you, Russ. So, what do you got?

Russ: Levingston, B.J., Scott Williams, Cartwright, Grant, Hodges, Perdue, Stacey, Paxson.

Don: That right there shows what a leader-John: --and a heckuva coleader-Don: --can do. I mean, Jordan and Pippen led this group to the promised land over the course of three years. Not all rode the 'ship over the entire stretch, but each of them-and a few others--had at least one championship to tell their kids about.

Patrick: Good point.

Don: I'll give only one thing to Jerry Krause, the Bulls General Manager, and that's that he got Scottie Pippen in the 1997 NBA Draft. Now, he’s done many things during his Bulls tenure that leaves a nasty taste in my mouth, for example, saying things in interviews that attempted to fold things in his and management's favor, but he did pretty good with this pick.

ARTS & (HOME) ENTERTAINMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Since being stuck inside, which shows have you been watching? Which movies? Have you read any good books lately? Any new music releases have you dancing in your living room? StreetWise vendors, readers and staff are sharing what is occupying their attention during this unprecedented time.

Party at Home!

Drag from Home The bars may be closed but drag always finds a way. Drag performers are bringing us live drag entertainment, even in quarantine. During these shows, the host will typically introduce performers and/or stall for time as they cut to the live stream of the next number.

Then performers thrill us with a number from the comfort of their own home. Drag from home is thoroughly entertaining and features makeshift stage curtains in the living room, tours of your favorite performer’s homes, and jaw dropping entrances down a beige-carpeted stairway. During the show, the performer’s social media handles are shared as well as information to send a remote tip using Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp. With nightlife shut down during the shelter-in-place orders, many performers are unable to work, so this is a great way for them to put out entertainment digitally and for everyone to give what they can in return. Sending a stranger $2 for doing your favorite Shirley Bassey number from the comfort of your sofa is an indescribable joy. So, until we can get back into public spaces and support these entertainers in person, enjoy some drag from home!

Local drag performer, T Rex, typically hosts her weekly show, Drag Matinee, from the popular Berlin Nightclub, but has taken to Twitch.tv to continue featuring local Chicago talent and surprise guests from across the country. You can catch the main event on Saturday nights at 10 PM CST and other mini matinees throughout the week. Follow Drag Matinee at Facebook.com/DragMatinee, @DragMatinee on Instagram, and Twitch.tv/dragmatinee

(HOME) ENTERTAINMENT

L.A. drag performer and winner of Season 2 of Dragula, Biqtch Puddin’, hosts Digital Drag Show alongside producer, Megna, on Friday nights at 9PM CST featuring performers across the world. Follow Digital Drag Show at Facebook.com/biqtch and catch shows at Twitch.tv/ biqtchpuddin.

Chill Out!

Dead and Company 'One More Saturday Night' Dead and Company is three of the four still living members of the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, playing in their newest reiteration of the Dead, which has pop superstar John Mayer taking the reins of Jerry Garcia’s legendary lead guitar parts. Many Deadheads who originally viewed Mayer’s addition to the group with skepticism were quickly converted into John Mayer fans when he played disciplined and passionate tributes to Garcia’s music without abandoning his own musical personality. The group, which formed in 2015, has been one of the Dead’s most successful touring acts since Garcia’s death. Bassist Oteil Burbridge and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti round out the band. Weekly broadcasts every Saturday night on facebook.com/DeadandCompany.

Make It!

Diamond Painting A new activity that is getting me through this quarantine is working on Diamond Paintings. If you’re like me and had never heard of one, it’s basically a paint by number WITH MORE SPARKLE. You can order whatever weird design is available on Etsy or Amazon or even custom order one of your own photos.

The kits come with a sticky canvas, thousands of little sparkle diamond pieces, a tray, poking stick and wax. Pour the coordinating color to the part of the “painting” you’re working on into the tray and then off you go, putting a bit of wax on your poker, picking up the diamond and pressing it into its specific home. Then repeat forever. It is satisfying in so many ways - there are elements of organization, easy creativity, order and shimmer. That combo, for me, is an excellent way to combat a time where I feel like I have very little control over what is happening and to feel accomplished to have something physically completed. Therapeutic at best, insane new wall art at least!

Watch This!

Frozen II Frozen II just came out on Disney Plus, which is super exciting! This is a film that so many people have been waiting years for, and it did not disappoint. The animation is mesmerizing, the music hopeful and captivating, and the character development heartwarming. Plus, I do have to say, Olaf and his jokes steal the show! Make sure to either buy this movie on DVD or buy a subscription to Disney Plus. This family-friendly movie will please people of all ages.

Mom ' s Best Advic Russell Adams

She told me to always respect women, no matter what. Respect your mother and love her while she’s still here because when she’s gone there will be a spot in your heart that’s empty. If your mother’s still living, do all you can for her and spend time with her because when she’s gone all you have is memories.

A. Allen

My mom was born Vera Snow in Edwards, Mississippi and came to Chicago in the late 1950s or early '60s and worked at Schulze and Burch Biscuit Co. for 37 years. She retired with perfect attendance: no unexcused absences.

She always instilled in her children “to be strong” because “only the strong survive.” I think she adopted it from the song

by Jerry Butler. Nevertheless, it was the one thing of many she would repeatedly emphasize.

Yes, we had a father in the home and his emphasis was education. But I will always remember mom’s sayings because they make sense now, sayings like: • “Don’t be a burden to society.”

• “Do something for yourself.”

• “Try to earn an honest living for yourself. You’ll sleep better because honesty is the best policy.”

She would say stuff like, “Mama may have and Papa may have but God blesses the child that has its own.” I can still hear her saying, “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on,” or the Bible quote Ephesians 6:13 “[Therefore put on the full armor of God]…so having done all you can to stand, stand, be strong, be strong my son, because only the strong will survive.”

I thank God for all the wonderful mothers who left an impression on their children to make this a better world. As a result of my mother’s sayings, I’m a better person and thus my world is better.

Jimmie Beckless

Always keep your head up and always be nice to other people. And always wish the ladies Happy Mother’s Day.

ce for Hard Times Addie Bell

She said “hard times don’t always last but tough people do.” That means to me you have to be responsible for yourself at all times.

Debbie Booker

The best advice my mother ever gave me was to trust my heart whenever I am struggling with a decision. She’d ask me what my gut is telling me and advise me to listen to that quiet voice inside my head – advice I continue to use almost every day. My mom and I were very close and I do read my Bible. I pray and ask God to help me through bad and difficult times and to love one another and that life is too short. Thanks, Mom. You are always in my heart.

RIP. Love you. Your daughter.

Gregg Cole

“Save your money.” I didn’t listen to her but she told me. I can see how she’s right.

Danny Davis

My mother always said "God blesses the child that has his own." When you are living with someone else you can't be the captain of your own ship.

Carolyn Duffy

My mom always told me that I should have four paychecks a month and that my rent should be equal to one of those checks. That’s how she taught me to budget things out. My mom believed strongly in having my own home first before I purchase a new car. She taught me about having priorities. She told me money doesn’t grow on trees or run out of faucets like water.

Gerald Farmer

“Be patient, stay calm, don’t complain and don’t get upset. Ask questions. Don’t jump the gun and go off on people. Thank God and be happy.” There was a time when I didn’t have work, I was working for agencies. She said God can do miracles, she said don’t get upset and worry about what people say about you.

Gwendolyn Freeman

“No virus that comes against me shall prosper:” Isaiah 54:17 from the Bible. What that means to me is that God is still in control. And I thank all my friends and customers out there.

Lee A. Holmes

She said, whatever I put my whatever I decide to be in li of my favorite memories, w Chicago Heights, we would Wendy’s. When we were w and I would see some mone $50, the joke would be you c see.

Everything is slow. Just have to try to make it.

Deborah Jackson

"To give up is not an option. Keep on pushing."

Robert Johnson

I remember my mom telling me to be the best I can be.

Whatever I did in life to be the best man I can be.

John Kidd

To keep out of trouble, do my schoolwork and hang with good people. If I chose to go the other way, she told me the outcome could be prison, or an early death. She also told me to trust in God.

Adrienne Me

Tammy Kohnke

My mom’s best advice is “to pick yourself up and dust yourself off" and to know that everything is not about me. "Get over yourself.” It’s uplifting and grounding at the same time.

Robert Laine

My parents made it through the Depression, so a lot of advice had to do with survival. She taught me how to cook; I can buy a cart worth of groceries using coupons and whatnot for $20. She was a coupon saver and I got into that habit myself.

She taught me to always have the staples on hand: milk, eggs, bread. Don’t spend money on a name brand when generic will do just as well. She grew up on potato pancakes and grew the potatoes in her back yard. The youngest of 13 kids, a straight-A student in high school, she had to drop out to support the family. My best summation of everything my mom taught me was “to persevere, have faith in God and always stay close to my friends.”

Patricia Lister To always be grateful for what you have, because there is always someone worse off than you are.

Donald Morris

She told me to get on my knees and learn the Lord’s Prayer. I was about 7. It’s important for me in order to talk to Him and always remember that there is Somebody out there looking out.

Murry Mills

“Just never give up and never give in and stay strong.”

That’s what she said when I was age 13 and she kicked me out of the house for being rambunctious, gangbanging. She said the police were on the street in front because what I was doing was wrong and either the police would have the house or she would. What changed me was hard times, going to jail.

Myron Mott

She told me to solve my own problems. Don’t worry about what other people think. She told me I have only one life to live and to strive to be happy. Get a job, pay your rent, pay your bills, take care of your health.

“Be patient and pray. Thank God. He can heal all things.

But prayer without work is dead.” My mother passed in 2016. You think about the comfort and care she offered.

She always taught me to work for what you get, don’t expect something for nothing. When I was younger, I had a shoeshine box, sold Jet magazines, washed cars.

I earned it, didn’t expect things just because I was here.

She used to say, “the world doesn’t owe you anything just because you’re here. You have to work for things.”

Steve Williams

My mom’s best advice was to “be honest and no matter how bad it is, don’t commit any crimes because I’m not going to bail you out.” I had two older sisters but I am the oldest son.

I had to set an example. If I caught my brothers doing anything crooked like selling dope, I would whip their butts. I took my daddy’s job; he was in and out. I was in the Cook County Jail for two weeks on account of parking tickets and that reinforced everything my mama said. I didn’t tell her because by that time she had a home on the West Side and might have come down with mortgage money and I didn’t want her to. But you can simply ask people for help and get it. I have just as much as the next person. I moved back into a rehabbed building two months ago but some of my friends didn’t get to because they didn’t pass the background check.

VW

My mom always told us to only spend half of our food stamps at the beginning of he month. We’d go on the 19th of the month and stock up on the rest. That way we’d budget for enough food for the whole month.
