South Brooklyn Women's Achievement Awards

Every year, the world meets new leaders, activists, creators and entrepreneurs whose achievements and dedication inspire others. We also meet those who become examples for us. They are not just success stories, they are sparks that illuminate the path for those who follow them.
 
An outstanding woman is one who volunteers her time to improve the quality of life of those around her and inspires and encourages others to reach their potential. These women influence our society and their work sheds light on the principles of compassion, justice and strength. It gives inspiration and strength to others to strive for change. These women become beacons of hope in the ocean of life. Their examples encourage us not to stop there, but to strive for the heights, knowing that the possibilities are endless when the heart is filled with love and devotion to people.
A ceremony honoring the amazing women of South Brooklyn was recently held in Coney Island. District Leader of Brooklyn's 46th Ward, Dionne Brown-Jordan, organized the annual awards ceremony for the most deserving women and presented them with certificates of honor. The laureates of the ceremony also received certificates of honor from politicians: City Councilwoman Susan Zhuang and State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton.
Honored on this day were: Jessica Cabral, Lina Chen, Desirea Harris, Ashante Harding, Oluwakemi Hodge, Crystal Nieves, Chantel Richardson, Nazia Shaheen, Sonya Smith and Betty Ruth Smith (honored posthumously), who have done so much to improve the quality of life of thousands residents of South Brooklyn.
It was nice to meet wonderful men - famous community leaders, without whom this event would not have been so solemn and bright. Ari Kagan, Michael Silverman, David Cabral, David Anderson and others came to congratulate women engaged in various fields of activity and managing to help those who need their support.
Thank you to the wonderful Mom Pat Brown, Pastor Kanny Hulla, Selina Grant, Lakisha Bowers, Mary Gainey, Tam Reynolds for helping organize this wonderful holiday event.
Our newspaper congratulates all honorees who speak different languages and live in our unique city of New York.
When the article was being prepared for publication, readers contacted the newspaper with a request to express their gratitude to the doctors who save people: Dr. Natalya Idelevich, Zhanna Tsukerman, Susan Burdete - Radoux-oncologist Maimonides Medical Center, who works with Russian-speaking assistant Dr. Yan Pronin.

After a Fire: Help a Family Start Again

My name is Evgeniy, and I never thought I'd be writing a letter like this. Just a few days ago, our life seemed normal. My beloved wife, Lara, our little daughter, Sophie, and I were cozying up in our apartment one evening, reading a bedtime story and making plans for the weekend. Everything changed in an instant. I was awakened by the sharp, acrid smell of burning. I peered out of the bedroom and went cold: the entire hallway was filled with black, choking smoke, billowing from the apartment next door. My heart started pounding. "Lara, there's a fire! Run!" I screamed. We grabbed our frightened, crying Sophie in our arms and practically ran out of the apartment in our pajamas. We didn't have a second to grab documents, phones, Sophie's favorite teddy bear, or wedding photos. We ran, saving only what was most precious—our lives. We stood in the cold street, and I hugged my shivering girls, watching the fire consume our living room. That was the moment we realized: everything was gone. Absolutely everything. Sophie's toys, my laptop with my work, Lara's books, all our clothes—our entire life, piece by piece, turned to ashes. Now we have nothing. We live in temporary housing, wearing other people's clothes. Our little Sophie still can't sleep at night; she has nightmares. Lara and I are trying to be strong, but it's really hard for us. That's why I, Evgeniy, am turning to you. We desperately need your help just to survive and, little by little, start over. Any support from you is more than just money; it's a breath of fresh air and hope for my family that we can overcome this nightmare. Please, don't stand by. Your help is the only support we have right now. I will indicate an electronic wallet for transferring funds Usdt-TRC20: TMrQqrbsahWzGg93knk42cVcVSKTL7kNcu With endless gratitude, Evgeny, Larisa and Sophie.
 

Marfa is more than just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light.

Martha saved me. I don’t know how to find the right words, because everything I went through is impossible to describe simply. It wasn’t pain... it was devastation. As if everything alive had been burned out inside me. My husband left. He just got up and left, as if he had never loved me. He said he stopped loving me. He said he was tired. And I stood rooted to the spot, with a mug in my hand and couldn’t breathe. After that, the days merged into a black shroud. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep. I woke up and didn’t want to wake up. The children asked where dad was, but I just remained silent and died even more. Everything we had was gone. He was with another woman. He lived with her. He laughed with her. And it was as if I had died for him. I didn’t believe in anything. Until I accidentally saw a review about Martha. At first, I brushed it off. But then, in some kind of desperate hysteria, I simply wrote to her. And she answered. From the first words, warmth. Calm. She didn't ask stupid questions. She just said... You haven't lost everything yet. But you're on the edge. And she started working. I don't know how, I don't know what exactly she did, but it got easier with each passing day. I started having dreams where he came back. I started feeling like there was something between us again. Three weeks later, he came back. Himself. Without threats, without shouting. He just came. He fell on his knees and begged for forgiveness. He said that something had happened to him, that it was as if he had woken up. He looked into my eyes as if for the first time. I sobbed like a child. Now he is with us again. With the children. With me. We are learning to live again. And if it weren't for Marfa, I wouldn't be writing this letter. I might not have written anything at all... Marfa is not just a fortune teller. She is a conductor of light. She is the last hope. Her phone number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram

Tour of the Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University
It was an incredibly exciting trip - we found ourselves in the museum of one of the oldest universities in America, Rutgers in New Jersey, where students study art.

Museums where the whole world opens up

Museums where the whole world opens up
We often strive to fly to other countries, to other continents, to see something unusual and new. In India, many years ago, I visited the Queen Elizabeth Museum, where a huge painting by the Russian artist Vereshchagin called "Elephants" struck with its magic: wherever you stood, it seemed that the animals were looking right at you.

The family was on the verge of divorce, but Lilia helped

My husband and I were together for 12 years, we had two children. Everything was heading towards divorce - he became cold, was constantly at work, then admitted that he fell in love with another woman. I was desperate. I read about Lilia on one of the forums. I didn’t decide right away, but everything matched: the symptoms, the distance, the strange behavior of my husband... Lilia said that she saw interference, that he was “taken” for a reason. I started working - I did an energy cleansing, then a ritual to restore feelings. A week later, my husband began to return - at first neutrally, then he began to say that all this was some kind of nonsense. A month later, he returned home. We started all over again. I would not have coped without her. Lilia really saved my family. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
