DACA: A Personal Perspective
We recently received a message from a woman who sent us a copy of her email to Mayor Fulop.

I have been a Jersey City resident for about 20+ years. I am […]

This is Episode 4 of “It Was All A Dream”. If you’re only tuning in now, this is a series about people who are out there in our community living their dreams and inspiring others to do the same. I never thought Episode 4 would feature a 17 year old teen heartthrob, who reminds me […]
Naja Young
I met Naja about a year ago and as soon as I laid eyes on her, I knew she would one day be a superstar. She has that je ne sais quoi, an old school swag that belongs somewhere in the 70s… and then I heard her sing. I invited her to HQ when she […]

Ally Love
I recently had the opportunity to take a Peleton class in NYC led by Ally Love.
