In our City’s history there have been some great New Yorkers and what sincerely excites and humbles us is that we are allowed to discover and work with the greatness in so many diverse individuals that takes so many different shapes and that is greater still when merged together.

Seeing ethnic Communities as units that often share a same language, traditions, media and more has been critical in tapping into the strengths and talent that exists within them.
