I am so proud to see Sesame arrive at our 39th year of service. Witnessing the fulfillment of a vision created in 1983 fills all of our hearts with joy. We embrace the way forward to our grand 40th anniversary next year and we walk proudly into our destiny. Sesame Flyers will continue to provide employment opportunities to thousands in the community, award scholarships to college-bound students, and continue to uplift the Caribbean Community.

On Saturday April 16th Gen Z’s Voices, Sesame Flyers Teen Magazine hosted their first ever Teen Poetry Slam fundraiser and it was a great success. This was the first event we hosted for the general public in the Clubhouse post COVID mandates. It was great to welcome the community back into Sesame. The teens shared poems about race, social justice, love and life. Participants came from all parts of NYC, Long Island and NJ. There is a real need to provide safe spaces to direct our youths’ attention and energy in structured outlets. We hope to welcome them back again as many of the poets asked about future events.

I am a parent volunteer, and as I like to say, the “mascot” of the Winthrop Beacon. I cheer everybody on to do what they have to do. My sons Marcus and Andrew, ages 5 and 8 respectively attend the program. What made me decide to become a parent volunteer was that I met Ms. Simone, the Winthrop Beacon Director and I wanted to support by spending time helping out with the kids of the program. I love the activities that the Beacon offers and I am also interested in starting a crochet arts and crafts program for the children. I love Ms. Simone, she is the best, you can come to her for anything and get results.
