Check out this jersey given to the Mayor by P.S. 39 students the other day! Adam Ottavino is a hometown boy who made good. From starting baseball at P.S. 39 (just like Dante!) to playing Yankee Stadium this past Saturday, we’re cheering for you!
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the newest addition to their family. Sending my warmest wishes to them during this exciting time!

I joined a wonderful group of leaders at Medgar Evers College to honor one of my personal heroes, and one of Brooklyn’s favorite daughters, the Unbought and Unbossed Shirley Chisholm. We need more leaders like them to carry her legacy into the future and build on it.

I can’t think of a better way to have spent the last day of Women’s History Month than at the closing of Gloria: A Life. What a wonderful opportunity to thank the woman who served as its inspiration for galvanizing us all in the ongoing struggle for equality and social justice.
