Reply to comment by Llamacka in Arias Agency Wexford by Objective-Class-9213

I feel like that's a grift that should be looked into, too. Looks like they're connected through "Steel City Impact," a non-profit that is supposed to help disadvantaged kids in Pittsburgh (specifically Sto-Rox, looks like). Their board includes Arias, former WNBA player Tyra Grant (who also works for Arias), Justin Adams (the guy in the board room wearing a tank top in one of the videos), the owner of Armina Stone, Ryan Shazier, Jimmy Wan (for some reason, from the restaurants), and others. They're doing an event next month where VIP tickets are $1,500. Probably worth looking into what, exactly, they accomplish.

Jimmy Wan is tight with all the athletes in Pittsburgh. They're all constantly there and call it their favorite local restaurant.

Like all of the Pittsburgh Penguins off the top of my head. There's one by their HQ. It's Sidney Crosby's favorite restaurant apparently.

It’s more than a nonprofit, Shazier has his own insurance agency affiliated with AIL too. I doubt he engages in the antics of Arias but doesn’t seem like the best bed to lay in. As for the nonprofit that is quite a crew they assembled there too and a cool 1.5k a plate they must do a lot of good lol
