BronxWorks is celebrating #DominicanHeritageMonth, honoring our Bronx neighbors of Dominican descent! The first immigrant to what is now Manhattan was from Santo Domingo, now the capital of DR? Juan Rodriguez arrived in Manhattan on a Dutch ship in 1613.

#MondayMotivation #DominicanHeritageMonth NYC-born plus-size model Christina Mendez is a trailblazer, one of the few plus-size models to walk in New York Fashion Week. As a mom to an autistic son, she uses her platform to amplify autism awareness in Black and Brown communities.

It's Dominican Heritage Month! If you’re in NYC, you’re in one of the best places to celebrate the contributions and history of this community. Why? According to the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, about 1/2 the Dominican diaspora in the U.S. lives in NYC!
