Marvin Weissberg invited Katherine and me to NDI's annual gala..the featured guest was Trevor Noah...Katherine stayed home with L'eau...Micheal Higgins went instead...
I met Tomas Ramos...a young community advocate in the North Bronx...son of a Dominican mother, whose father was in prison for some years, mother moved 4 children to Pennslyvania to avoid drugs, sent all to college...Tomas graduated from Temple...was born at Columbia Presbyterian.
Read about him here...and his campaign for Congress...in the mode of Occasio-Cortez.
Encouraging..really encouraging
I also sat with another guest ..old friend of Marvin's who I have met before but can't remember her name..who described herself as a trust fund woman...Exxon Mobile stock from Texas...which helped put her daughter through college but she has regrets about Exxon..not enough to sell the stock...
