The Green Book Project has received quite a few insights from users about expanding their business tags. Users have noticed some are missing and have made quite a few suggestions. Because of TGBP’s inclusive mission and the feedback from the users, we created an additional business tag, Asian-owned, to allow users to easily describe if a business is owned by an Asian person.

A crowd-sourced review app that helps users from marginalized groups (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, folks with cognitive and physical disabilities, etc) find welcoming and inclusive businesses. Think Yelp but with an inclusive lens! Its primary focus is helping folks from these communities (and allies!) discover spaces to frequent and/or avoid.

The Green Book Project has yet to complete its entire list of business tags for its post-review screen. Users wanting to highlight Asian-owned businesses were unable to do so at the moment because of the limited business tags.

Conversations around cultural biases are tough yet super important! While they may be uncomfortable at times it is important to share how marginalized groups (or anyone for that matter) could be affected by a ‘measly’ design decision that could be deemed as insignificant to another group! Checking in, participating in these talks, listening to each others' different views, and pivoting if necessary will only be beneficial to the project and everyone’s well-being!
