18 years ago today, Aaliyah, my #EarlyShow 28-week, 2 lb. #MiracleBabyNetwork daughter was born. I remember being worried that being born preemie like that, she wasn't going to make it. She's an adult in college now, so I’m really thankful that God had different plans! ❤️🥰🎉🎂

Tonight we honored a family of schools that has served the NE Bronx for 60 YEARS! Susan E. Wagner is where I first found my voice and where I first stepped up to serve as an advocate and #HeadStartParent. It has been an honor to serve on the Board for the past 11 years. #MaggieAlston #JoyceJames

And speaking of hypocrisy… should we also rip Cuomo for maintaining US citizenship, citing our country’s “it’s not lawful to commit sexual harassment” policy?

Look what I found lurking in the bushes at the Home Depot on Gun Hill Rd. It’s really a shame this is what we’re reduced to nowadays. Our immigrant communities must be protected. I’m directing this to @zohrankmamdani as well as the rest of our elected officials who aren’t on this platform.
