“Sirens and the general noise of Brooklyn streets were a comfort for me. It’s such a metaphor for life because the noise, if it’s all you’re used to, becomes home and the quiet can feel otherworldly and take time to adjust to.”

“I recognized that when people had access and support, anything was possible. I learned that with community I didn’t have to have all the answers, I just had to be able to connect people to what they needed. I realized that being able to listen to their stories, no matter how tough their experiences were, provided ease and support to them and I knew it was something I wanted to continue to do. The seed to help others heal was planted”
