Demand that U.S. Steel invest in healthy communities, clean air, and jobs for the future.


Demand that U.S. Steel invest in healthy communities, clean air, and jobs for the future.

It’s time for U.S. Steel to reinvest in the largest coke facility in the country. It’s time to make Clairton Coke Works the cleanest, most sustainable, and most technologically advanced coke facility in the country. It’s time to improve the Pittsburgh region’s air quality – currently ranked 8th worst in the county. And it’s time to invest in the jobs that have defined an industry and can do the same into the future.

Support a Local Business – Lend to Leona’s Ice Cream

leonaWe’ve been endorsing small business loans as a Kiva trustee since 2014. We were initially able to endorse loans up to $10,000, but we were recently given the opportunity to endorse loans up to $25,000! Join our lending team to follow along with local loans that we endorse.

We’re pleased to share that we are endorsing our first $25,000 loan for one of our local businesses, Leona’s Ice Cream. Leona’s moved to Wilkinsburg a few years ago, and though they don’t have a storefront, you can find their treats at local spots like Nancy’s East End Diner and the East End Food Co-op, among many other locations.

A loan of $25,000 will help Leona’s recover from a recent total loss of inventory following a freezer failure. Additionally, funds will help support their growth this spring. 

We hope you’ll join us in supporting this great business by making a micro-loan of just $25 or more! Funds will be paid back to you over the course of the loan repayment, so there’s really nothing to lose. Support local business and lend to Leona’s Ice Cream today!

Diversity, Inclusion and Fairness.

diversitykirkland1

Mr. Kirkland is the Pennsylvania Department of General Services
Deputy Secretary for Diversity, Inclusion and Small Business Opportunities.

Diversity, Inclusion and Fairness. I’m certain we all are familiar with these three words and what they mean. In Pennsylvania’s state government system, however, they have become much more than words – they have become a way of life.

Since taking office, Governor Tom Wolf and the Wolf Administration have adopted diversity, inclusion and fairness as their guiding principles for economic development and state government operations.  Governor Wolf solidified his commitment to that philosophy when he signed Executive Order 2015-11 to improve the participation of small and small diverse businesses in state government contracting and the Commonwealth’s overall economy.   Continue reading

Darrell Warden: A Pittsburgh Success Story

By Christiana Dillard

“It’s always about being better.”  Darrell Warden, hiring manager for Team Warden & Team Tri-state Group (a part of The Miles Group Insurance Agency) is the embodiment of his own statement. The agency has personnel in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and even Delaware; and their motto, “One Vision,” exemplifies their commitment to “being better.”  And each day Warden personally strives to be the best.

Warden had his beginnings in Rankin, a low-income borough in the Greater Pittsburgh area. However, he refused to allow the town’s bleak environment to bring him down. He attended Full Sail University in Florida and went on to become a music executive at Bad Boy Records with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs. Warden was at Bad Boy for ten years before moving back to Pittsburgh to work in the mortgage loan department at PNC Bank. When he was laid off from PNC, he found out that some of his old acquaintances were forming their own insurance group, headed by Troy Miles and hopped on board. For his role as a founding member of The Miles Group, Warden became a hiring manager for his own team within the agency and hasn’t looked back since. Continue reading

1. What are you are PUSHing through right now?
Being a full-time caregiver for my mother who has severe dementia, while maintaining and taking care of myself so that I am able to be there for her.

2. How have you been able to spread the word and gain control over these circumstances?

Who has helped you achieve where you are today?

Eight new graduates across Point Park University’s four schools shared their thoughts about who has helped them along their journey to earning a master’s degree from Point Park. Below is the response from a friend of Soul Pitt, Mr. Lorenzo Boone:

Lorenzo Boone, M.F.A. in Writing for the Screen and Stage

“To begin, I have to acknowledge my 85-year-old mother, who I am fortunate to still have with me. It is her lost opportunities and dreams that I carry on my shoulders daily. Through her life, I recognize that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Professors Nelson Chipman and Elise D’Haene also played a significant role in my development, and gave me incentive to keep driving towards my goals. They helped me believe that my style of storytelling and the voice that accompanies it needs to be told. They convinced me that even though it may not be traditional or mainstream, it has a place and it has merit.”

SOUL PITT CONGRATULATES LORENZO ON HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT!
