Happy Mother’s Day to the most amazing woman I know! Eres mi roca, mi confidente y mi mayor animadora. Te quiero un montón 💛

We remember.
Today, we honor the millions of lives lost and the survivors who carry the stories. Let their memory be a call to action against hatred and intolerance.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the world. But let’s not forget, the journey toward gender equality is far from over.

¡Feliz Día de la Independencia Dominicana! 🇩🇴 Today we celebrate the courage and resilience of the Dominican people.

Thank you, Dr. Gottesman, for recognizing our community and giving our students this incredible opportunity! This is what investing in the Bronx looks like. We couldn't be prouder of all the great work that is doing.

Tonight, I had to say goodbye to an incredible friend and mentor, Fran. Words can’t express how much I’ll miss you. Your dedication to the Bronx community and the district was truly inspiring, and your impact will be felt for generations to come.💛 Rest in Peace

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Paul Vallone. He was a dedicated public servant, a fierce advocate for Queens, and a kind and thoughtful friend. My deepest condolences to his family and all who knew him. He will be deeply missed. 🕊️

“It is as pure as a man needing an income to support his family… the right to live where one can find work and raise a family in dignity.” - Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at Soldier Field in Chicago 1966.

King's words resonate deeply - the right to work, the right to raise a family with dignity, both as fundamental as our need to breathe. In New York City’s housing crisis, let's build not just for the loudest voices, but for all, especially those silenced and displaced. Let's honor King's legacy by creating homes for everyone, .
