Black History Month is a profound opportunity to honor the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of the Black community throughout history. For me, as President and CEO of the Urban League of Westchester County (ULWC), this month is both a celebration and a call to action—a reminder of how far we’ve come and the urgent work that remains. Black History Month is a deeply reflective time for me. It brings to mind the stories of individuals who courageously fought for freedom, justice, and dignity—not as distant historical figures, but as people whose sacrifices directly paved the way for the opportunities we have

February, recognized as Black History Month, serves as an opportunity for us to reflect and uplift one another. This month, we also recognize the strength, achievements, and contributions of individuals throughout history who paved the way for progress despite incredible adversity. Black History Month is a time of both solemn reflection and joyful celebration. It’s an opportunity to share stories and inspire this and the next generation to continue creating and making history, continue unlocking doors, and continue stepping through them. Black History Month is a time that I celebrate every day as an African American woman. I take pride in the legacy and heritage of my ancestors. My grandmother lived to be 96 years old and always shared stories about “the old days.” I appreciate the resilience, determination, and sacrifices that have created the opportunities I enjoy today, both personally and professionally. I am dedicated to honoring it not only in February but also throughout the entire year. I am fortunate and appreciative

Every third Monday of January, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day to honor a monumental leader who fought for justice and equality. Dr. King strived to make sure everyone, no matter their background, has the same opportunities in life. This included having access to quality healthcare, which he believed was one of the most important ways to achieve fairness. Dr. King once said, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.” He believed that everyone deserves a chance to be healthy, but he saw how many people, especially in poor or minority

Durante este Mes de la Herencia Hispana, Latinos Unidos of the Hudson Valley reconoce que los problemas de salud son algunos de los desafíos más importantes que enfrenta la comunidad hispana. Las barreras idiomáticas y la falta de información en su lengua materna, junto con el estigma social, disuaden a muchos hispanohablantes de obtener ayuda para sus problemas de salud. Por ese motivo, Latinos Unidos tiene como máxima prioridad colaborar con Fidelis Care y otras organizaciones sanitarias para asegurarse de que la comunidad hispana tenga acceso a atención médica asequible y de calidad.
