During the COVID-19 pandemic and concurrent natural disasters, small businesses were hard hit by decreased consumer demand, supply chain interruptions, and increased costs. To understand the impacts of these complex, large-scale events and organizations’ resilience, we surveyed and interviewed 34 U S.-based small and medium-sized business (SMB) operators. We focused on SMB operators identifying as members of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community to evaluate the impacts of heightened anti-Asian hate during COVID-19. Results indicate that although AANHPI-operated SMBs generally experienced shorter economic recovery times, approximately half of AANHPI respondents expressed they faced instances of unspoken discrimination in the workplace. They indicated that being AANHPI served as a chronic stressor and cited the presence of barriers in the professional space. Given these findings, there is evidence that AANHPI firms encounter additional stressors, and the disparities faced by AANHPI operators may be connected to greater resilience during complex events
