Happy National Daughters Day nZinga


I just saw from a Facebook friend that today is National Daughter's Day. I have to SHOUT Out my daughter and Co-Publisher Nzinga-l Austin!

What a blessing she is to me.

When we brought her home from the hospital she was quiet the first night but after that would cry/scream at the top of her voice/lungs - for 8 hours straight! We'd have pick her up and walk with her until she'd fall asleep.

She'd fall asleep for 40 minutes or so then get up and scream and cry for another 6 or 7 hours straight. Her mom and me would walk around like zombies we were so exhausted.

We struggled over the years finding her the right schools, helping her deal with bullying and teasing by other kids, and her depression and suicidal thoughts. She and we have been thru a lot.

However, today she is 24 and although still has challenges she is a talented artist, writer, singer, and award winning blogger and community advocate. I'd never believe that with how hard I had to teach my daughter things she now teaches me things, helps me in our business, and gives me good advice.

Her life illustrates to me peeps don't give up. God is still in the miracle business! 

I don't understand why God does or allows certain things, but I can truly say having to help raise my daughter has made me a better person. I feel blessed God entrusted her soul to us.

Free Fare Access For
The Q4 Bus Starts
September 24th 2023
In Queens



A win in the NYS 2023 Budget was the Fare-Free Pilot Program with the MTA, which allocates a free bus line for each borough, is finally here,” said Assembly Member Alicia L. Hyndman. “Beginning Sunday, September 24, 2023, Southeast Queens will benefit from this pilot program with the Q4 line servicing Jamaica, St Albans and Cambria Heights. The program will last from six to twelve months and will be a relief to constituents in every borough.”

“Starting September 24th, the launch of the fare-free Q4 Local/Limited bus line in Queens will showcase the feasibility of no-cost transit for New York City bus commuters. It is my hope the success of this city-wide pilot program will inform how we can better work with all our partners in government to make life in New York City more affordable," said State Senator Leroy Comrie. "I must especially thank my colleagues in the legislature for their advocacy during the budget process, and the MTA and NYC Transit leadership for the willingness to test this pilot program."

We are excited that the commuters in our district will take advantage of the free bus program,” said Assembly Member Clyde Vanel. “We will continue to work to improve our transportation system.”

Statement from Speaker Adams on Mayor Adams’ Announcement of His Administration’s Proposed Zoning Text Amendment for Housing

NYC Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams

The housing crisis that has exacerbated homelessness and made our city less affordable demands comprehensive solutions. We welcome Mayor Adams and City Planning’s encouraging and thoughtful proposals as a starting point towards critical changes that will help us equitably produce more housing across the city to confront these challenges.

Housing and zoning policies have historically furthered economic and racial segregation, deepened inequities, and locked communities out of opportunities. That’s why it is imperative that our city’s policies and zoning align to achieve housing growth through the lens of equity and access, accompanied by investments in economic opportunity, schools, transit, healthcare, and other institutions that help stabilize communities.

The Council is committed to advancing the necessary changes through a citywide text amendment and complementary strategies, including my Fair Housing Framework and increased affordability, to confront our housing crisis. We look forward to conducting a thorough review of the proposals in these preliminary scoping documents and continuing discussions with the Administration and all stakeholders throughout this process to successfully advance the city’s housing needs.

Delivering results for New Yorkers will require actions at the city level, along with essential contributions from our state and federal partners.”
