The Boogie Down Bronx celebrated Pride on Saturday, kicking off with a parade on the Grand Concourse, followed by an all-day festival on Westchester Avenue near 149th Street, and an after party at the grand opening of the only gay nightclub in the Bronx.

Girls danced with girls, boys danced with boys and everyone danced with each other, while smiling and gagging in a fun-loving and welcoming atmosphere.

“ It’s been quite amazing to see that this space is here for Bronxites so they don’t have to travel outside of the Bronx in order to be around fellowship, in order to be around their people,” Dey Armbrister said, who grew up in Brooklyn but currently resides in Manhattan. “When it comes to spaces that are Black and brown, especially when it’s q***r, it’s bringing us back into the forefront.”

It’s Pride month and ahead of Manhattan’s big parade on June 28th, which sees upwards of two million people each year, the outer boroughs conducted their own festivities. In the Bronx, Borough President Vanessa Gibson led the 28th official Pride parade along the Grand Concourse on Saturday along with cheering marchers.

Titled this year, From Da Bronx to Da World, the theme of the festival reflects the simultaneity of Pride and New York’s World Cup season. On stage, Sage Rivera aka Vivika Westwood, announced the incoming groups, including Gay Men’s Health, VNS Health, the American Cancer Society, the Bronx CUNY schools and others.

“For a little gay boy from the Bronx, from the projects, to even get a chance to be a part of something that is about visibility, about showing up, about being there for, not only yourself, but the youth that comes after you, the girl in me, the little princess in me is super happy to do this,” Grand Marshal Lanye Armon said, and last year’s winner of Miss Bronx Pride. Armon recalled finding her identity at the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx as a 14-year-old seeking community.

After years of hefty maintenance increases and management turnover, residents of Jamie Towers in Soundview/Castle Hill received some much-needed funding to support capital improvements and operations.

Dozens of shareholders gathered June 18 to hear the good news from Shareholder Board President Maxine Breeden and Assembly Member Karines Reyes, who presented Jamie Towers with a $4 million check.

Reyes said she hopes the board and management will prioritize paying past-due bills and getting vacant units back online to increase revenue.

She vowed to keep fighting for Jamie Towers, which is “a jewel in our community, and we have to preserve it.”

With homelessness and housing insecurity on the rise among college students, the University of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale partners with the nonprofit Depaul USA and Sisters of Charity to provide Dax House, where students live for $250 per month and receive critical support to stay in school.

For UMSV leaders, Dax House is “completely and utterly tied into the mission” of compassion for those in need and promoting upward mobility, said Gabrielle Occhiogrosso, vice provost and dean of the undergraduate college.
