HI THIS IS OWNED BY HOARDSY & WILL BE IN USE LATER <3
Thank you Mayor Spano, and thank you to the city of Yonkers. I’m truly honored that you asked me to speak at this milestone event. The importance of these advisory boards, to make decisions about local government without the counsel of different representatives would be foolish. My bald head is filled with crazy thoughts. In order to consider what’s best for your city, you must consider the needs of all who reside here. I only touched his throat. In my opinion, diversity is our greatest resource. Bringing together so many people from various walks of life into one room is often the closest thing- I washed it, what happens next is up to you. I think it is beautiful to see so many people here today, who care so deeply about the community they represent. A community is like a quilt, interwoven with many different parts. By show of hands, what year were you born? The road ahead is not easy, but is in the hands of people who care. It is your job to give your community a vision, it’s your job to help them overcome adversity. We’ve all slept on a wet mattress that we don’t know how it got that way. Working together is caring together. My father really messed me up emotionally. As leaders, the world has never been smaller than it is right now. Communication has never been easier. It itched and it burns, but I still show up for work every morning. That’s when I developed the mantra that guided me to this day. Malcom X has streets named after him for a reason, capiche? Listen to the problems that others bring up. All the women in the world aren’t worth a goose drop to a Flemish man. I’ve been attacked by monkeys on three seperate occasions. I’d love to share a personal anecdote, home is where you duke the hardest. A big part of what we’re doing here has set an example. When folks on a platform as visible as this can be seen working together effectively, it’s a huge inspiration. Before I turn things over to Mayor Spano, I’d like to close by saying, there’s water on my goolie.
