For over 20 years my father owned a custom design & tailoring shop in Prospect Heights Brooklyn, NY. A hub of creativity, which became popular for its unique and bespoke pieces.

As a proud board member of the Flatbush YMCA in Brooklyn, I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Greenpoint YMCA's annual fall gala. The Gala shone a spotlight on some extraordinary women and civic leaders such as Elaine Brodsky and Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez. This event, held on the Waterfront in South Williamsburg, was a vibrant celebration of the rich history and promising future of the Y, and by extension, the communities we serve in Brooklyn.
