Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., honoring his dream of justice, equality, and nonviolence. May we translate his words into action and build a fairer, kinder world for all. Let’s stand by committing to service, standing against injustice.

I had the honor of returning to my alma mater, Hawkins St School, to speak with students about empowerment and leadership. We discussed practical steps for building confidence, setting goals, and seeking mentors. Their curiosity and resilience were inspiring. City of Newark

Open doors. Not because you owe anyone a favor, but because when more people can step through and pursue their gifts, the whole world becomes richer in ideas, joy, and possibility. Be curious, not judgmental. Seek out talent where systems have hidden it.

Wearing green for the State of the City to show my support for our Mayor Ras J. Baraka and the call for meaningful immigration reform. Our city thrives when everyone has a chance to contribute reform that is fair, humane, and focused on public safety strengthens.

I’m proud that Analilia Mejias won her race for Congress. As a Latina in office, she brings important representation and I supporter her because I believe she will work with integrity and fight for the needs of our community. I look forward to seeing her serve Latina Empowerment
