The Bronx has no shortage of resources. Why is it that sometimes it feels hard to find the information you need?

We have schools, libraries, colleges, businesses, community organizations, cultural spaces, and generations of people carrying knowledge and experience.

With all these resources, accessing, understanding, and knowing how to use them can still be difficult to navigate.

What if we looked at literacy differently?

Not just reading and writing, but formal and informal education, financial knowledge, digital skills, information, opportunity, and the ability to navigate the resources around us.

And what happens when we look at literacy across generations—what grandparents know, what parents are navigating, and what the next generation is learning, creating, and changing?

Our latest article explores the question:
What could the Bronx look like if we connected more of what is already here?

When asked “Why are you back in the Bronx?”

My answer is simple: I never left.

I grew up watching the Bronx move from the determination of the people in the 1970s to the cultural energy of the 1990s—music, art, fashion, sports, technology, and so much more.

I remember the excitement of hearing hip-hop and dancehall and knowing something transformative was happening.

I feel that excitement again in 2026, through the noise and distractions.

The museums. The schools. The artists. The businesses. The cultural events. The conversations about White Plains Road.

The people creating, organizing, teaching, investing, and telling their own stories.

The Bronx has always had a story to tell. We’re still writing it. Telling our truth.

So when someone asks, “Why the Bronx?”

Why not the Bronx?

What’s happening in the community deserves our attention.

Across the Northeast Bronx, plans are taking shape, projects are being discussed, and community conversations are happening every week.

From the White Plains Road Neighborhood Plan to the proposed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Woodlawn, there’s a lot to follow.

That’s part of what we’re building with StraitLeap: a place where community stories, local information, and civic conversations connect.

I’m sharing what I’m learning at local meetings and community conversations so we can stay informed and connected to what’s happening around us.
