The Power of Love

“Living in NYCHA has helped me look at where I’m from on a much larger scale. I understand and advocate more about why service not only helps low-income residents, but everyone in the City, with fresh produce, recycling, and sustainability. I love being a leader in my NYCHA community because making a difference is not only for me to enjoy and create but for the next generation to do an even more efficient job than me.”
