In February 2015, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce chose me to be one of their honorees, along with Assembly Member Annette Robinson; Michael Pugh, President & CEO of Carver Bank; and Maxine Stephenson, Co-Founder of Zeen, Incorporated, for their Black History Month celebration. Not only did the Chamber honor me, I also received an official proclamation from the Office of the Public Advocate of the City of New York.
