“Rock Your Business”

BLACK BUSINESS SUMMIT to

Empower Far Rockaway Entrepreneurs

with Access to Capital, Legal Advice & Marketing Tools

Following the tremendous success of the REMA4US Business Fair, the Southeast Queens Scoop and community organization Ca$h Da$h are proud to announce the upcoming “Rock Your Business! BLACK BUSINESS SUMMIT” — a high-energy event dedicated to Black economic empowerment, small business growth, and community-driven revitalization in Far Rockaway, Queens.

The summit is FREE will take place on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the Arverne East Coastal Conservation Center, located at 190 Beach 44th Street, from 10 AM to 3 PM. Innovative attendees are expected, including small business owners, new entrepreneurs, and community stakeholders.  Together with Southeast Queens Scoop — a highly Google-ranked digital community news platform with an average of 66,000 monthly views and a reach of more than 250,000 local readers — this event aims to create transformative connections for local businesses.

Led by Gail Johnson, Aiysha Simon, and Roni Anderson co-founders of Ca$h Da$h, the summit builds on their ongoing mission to strengthen Far Rockaway’s economic fabric through education, collaboration, and equitable development. 

Co-Founder Gail Johnson weighs in on the goals of Rock Your business "We are not hosting an event, we are investing in the economy of our neighborhood.  We plan on empowering Black and BIPOC Entrepreneurs in Downtown Far Rockaway with Access to Capital, Legal Advice & Marketing Tools."

A Vision for Black Economic Power and Community Renewal

Far Rockaway, located on the southeastern tip of the Rockaway Peninsula, is home to a vibrant and diverse population of approximately 55,000 residents, of whom a majority identify as Black or African American and Latino. The community is rich in entrepreneurial talent but has historically faced challenges with investment access and small business infrastructure.

Today, Far Rockaway stands on the threshold of change — with new developments such as Arverne East and Downtown revitalization projects opening pathways for Black-owned and BIPOC-led businesses to thrive. The “Rock Your Business!” Summit taps directly into that momentum, bringing together local innovators, financial experts, and policy advocates to explore tangible strategies for growth and sustainability.

LBAPS Brings Hope and Support to Families of Children with Autism and ADHD Across New York City

Families of children with autism and ADHD often face an uphill battle trying to find the right support, but one company, Licensed Behavior Analyst Professional Services (LBAPS), is changing that reality every day.

Founded in 2007 by Mrs. Yoheved Wasserman, LBAPS was born out of her personal struggle to find help for her daughter on the spectrum. What began as one mother’s mission to make services more accessible has since grown into a multi-state organization operating in 25 states and counting, offering personalized, compassionate ABA therapy for children who need it most.

“Mrs. Wasserman turned her challenge into a passion to help others,” said Justin Zisholtz, an outreach coordinator for LBAPS. “Every day, we see children learn new skills, parents regain hope, and families start to breathe again.”

The NYC Mayoral Election 2025: What’s at Stake for Southeast Queens — and the Nation

Election Day is tomorrow, and New York City voters are heading to the polls to choose the city’s next mayor and decide on key ballot proposals that could reshape local governance, housing, and economic opportunity.  In Southeast Queens, one of the largest areas of Black homeowners and business owners in the country, these tough economic times (especially given the attacks on DEI and immigration) this election is a critical one for the area.  

The Mayoral Race

With Mayor Eric Adams officially bowing out in late September, the contest has taken on new energy.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and progressive Assemblymember from Queens, is campaigning on housing affordability, public safety reform, and workers’ rights.

Andrew Cuomo, running as an Independent, is emphasizing fiscal management, infrastructure, and a return to “strong executive leadership.”

Curtis Sliwa, the Republican contender, focuses on public safety and restoring confidence in city policing and quality-of-life issues.

The 2025 race has become one of the most ideologically diverse in modern city history — reflecting the growing divides among New Yorkers over housing, policing, development, and economic fairness.

Ballot Proposals to Watch

Alongside the mayoral vote, New Yorkers will also decide on five proposed changes to the city charter, including:

Faster Affordable-Housing Approvals — Streamlining smaller-scale affordable housing projects.

Zoning Reform — Modernizing land-use procedures to speed up development.

Community Input Changes — Adjusting how local community boards review projects.

Transparency in Public Works — Expanding disclosure of major infrastructure and housing plans.

Election-Cycle Shift — Moving local elections to even-numbered years to increase turnout.

Supporters say these measures would make city government more efficient; critics counter that they risk silencing community voices — particularly in outer-borough neighborhoods like Southeast Queens, where development often outpaces local consultation.
