Inez Ribustello is a small business owner in Eastern North Carolina. But before she started her entrepreneurial journey in her hometown of Tarboro, she worked as the beverage director for Windows on the World. On September 11, 2001, she lost her job, more than 75 of her co-workers, and the life she loved in Manhattan. 

Fast forward to today, and Inez identifies similarities in her own experience of September 11 and how she's addressing the COVID19 pandemic as both a business owner and friend to many.
