Wes Jackson | BRIC President | Raised By Brooklyn

For BRIC President, Wes Jackson, being “Raised By Brooklyn” is a way of life.
From the stoop to the bodega, from the flower shop to the coffee house, and back home again-Brooklyn sticks to you. It’s what turns a ride on the A train into a canvas for expression. It’s in the comfort of neighbors at the local barber or beauty store, where everyone is accepted. Brooklyn is a place where you can be yourself and find yourself.
Let’s continue honoring all that’s #RaisedByBrooklyn at our Gala House Party starring D-Nice on 6/12. Get your ticket in support of BRIC, bit.ly/48JdlDf.
