- Hanawi helps Lyft decide how to give back to local communities. She helped create Lyft's Jobs Access program, which gives people access to transportation, with the intention of putting them on a path of upward mobility.
- Now that Lyft, and Hanawi with it, has focused some of its efforts on coronavirus crisis response, Hanawi has one piece of advice for people trying to help right now: Accept that doing something that's not "sexy," like giving cash, might just be the best option.
- Hanawi shared her outlook on the role the tech industry should have in giving back and a silver lining of working during the crisis: seeing the human side of coworkers "outside of the conference calls and the meetings."
