Bro/Sis’ new beacon is rising! We are excited to share a wonderful update about The Brotherhood/Sister Sol's construction project, our new home, a 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art green building, scheduled for completion this Summer 2021. Our new headquarters allows for the creation of the necessary physical site for a leading youth development organization that is modeled across the country and will provide critical support to thousands of youth from all over New York City and foster transformation in West Harlem.⁠
⁠
Bro/Sis received an essential business designation from NYC and NYS that allowed our construction to advance during the spring and summer when many other construction projects were hindered due to Covid. We completed the foundation work during this time - and now we have completed construction of the full six-story steel structure of the building.⁠
⁠
We are delighted to see the building rising and all the work that is happening - even during this complicated time of Covid, and look forward to updating you on our progress.⁠

Our Executive Director, @klwsees, reflected on the passing of Mayor Dinkins: ⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
"The Brotherhood/Sister Sol family mourns the passing of former NYC Mayor David N. Dinkins. Mayor Dinkins was always our Mayor. He lived a mighty and legendary life and was a true statesman. He brought dignity, class, decency, thoughtfulness and style to the political world. He was the only Black person to serve as the Mayor of NYC and he always spoke of his vision of and commitment to NYC as a “gorgeous mosaic” one that reflected the broad diversity of this city.⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
We honored him at our Voices gala - and another year he presented our award to the late Bill Lynch, along with his dear friend Harry Belafonte. He attended our Voices gala without fail. Mayor Dinkins was a supporter of and advocate for Bro/Sis since our founding - making connections, featuring us on his radio show, attending our events, and always speaking out about his love for Bro/Sis and "our essential work with the children.” ⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
Mayor Dinkins was a friend to our Board member and my father Douglas H. White and Douglas served as the Director of Personnel for the City of New York under Mayor Dinkins. In 1991 Mayor Dinkins led a contingent, with Douglas and other NYC government officials, to South Africa to meet with Nelson Mandela upon his release from prison, along with the ANC leadership, as Apartheid began to fall - to make connections between the soon to be leadership of a free South Africa and their peer government leaders in the Dinkins Administration. Mayor Dinkins was a supporter and counsel for me since I was in high school. Always a twinkle in his eye, always a word of support, always elegantly dressed, always strong when needed - always in our corner. I will miss him.”⁣⁠⠀⁠⠀
