Founded in 1989, Central Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation works to develop pathways to self-sufficiency for individuals, families and small business owners in Central Brooklyn. Our approach to community development is centered around People. For us, this simply means, the strength of a community is rooted in the strength of its people. We advocate for public/private investments and resources to support the expansion of hyper-local organizations and small businesses. A robust hyper-local economy is the key to closing racial wealth gaps, income disparities and improving the overall health of the community.

Absolutely thrilled to announce that I have been nominated by the community to be honored at Gala Night on August 10th for my work in the community. I don’t need awards or money to do this work. I show up every day because I am called to it. My heart is deeply embedded in every community, even those I’m not from. The fight continues, and I am grateful for the progress we’ve made. Thank you to everyone who has allowed me to serve alongside them. Join us in Harlem on August 10th! During the day, we’ll be at the basketball tournament, and at night, we’ll celebrate at the gala. Harlem is where it’s at! Grab your tickets ❤️ https://lnkd.in/ecJbqJu9
