Our May issue of StraitConnect is here, focused on the growth and continuity we’re seeing right here in our communities.
We’re especially excited to highlight Tanesha “Coach Tea” Ingram and Green Garden Health Food Store—two community staples that continue to show up, give back, and make a real difference every day.
And with Mother’s Day this month, we also wanted to give flowers to the women who help hold our communities together. The mothers, aunties, grandmothers, mentors, and community caregivers who lead with love, wisdom, patience, and strength—we see you, and this issue honors you too.
We’ve also have some great events coming up this month, so make sure to participate and bring a friend or a family member with you:
- Mother’s Brunch — May 9, 2026 at Uptown FEC - Shoelace Park Family Fun Day — May 16, 2026 at 222nd St & Bronx Blvd
- Spring Into Health Community Day — May 16, 2026 at Bronx Park East
- Youth Explosion — May 29, 2026 at Uptown FEC
StraitConnect is about keeping our community connected, informed, and inspired through storytelling and shared experiences.
