KENDRA WILLIAMS-MELENDEZ WAY STREET CO-NAMING
It was a beautiful morning as we gathered outside of P.S. 157x Grove Hill for a street co-naming ceremony in honor of Kendra Williams-Melendez, who spent 18 years as a teacher at the school.
Following her diagnosis of cancer, Kendra began hosting and coordinating Cancer Week every October, raising thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society’s ‘Making Strides’ foundation, culminating with the Annual Cancer Walk at Orchard Beach.
A fierce champion of her students and her beloved #Bronx, Kendra’s contributions to our community will forever be remembered as we pass by Kendra Williams-Melendez Way.

ADDRESSING ILLEGAL TRASH DUMPING IN THE BRONX
The Bronx is not a dumping ground for garbage!The quantity of illegally dumped garbage I came upon while driving through the intersection of 153rd and Third Avenue is highly concerning.
NYC Department Of Sanitation on taking quick action to clean up this garbage - it’s important we continue working together so we can finally address this issue plaguing our community and hold those illegally dumping responsible |
CELEBRATING REVEREND DR. RICARDO AND LUCY GUZMAN’S 47 YEARS OF SERVICE!
️ I was proud to present Reverend Dr. Ricardo Guzman and his wife, Lucy Guzman, with an official New York City Council Proclamation commemorating their 47 years of service at Jehovah Shalom Church! So often during the best and the worst of times, we look towards our spiritual leaders for their guidance, and today’s celebration was an ode to the decades of compassionate service that the Guzmans have ministered to their fellow New Yorkers.
