We are so excited to be working with NYC Council Member Crystal Hudson for this year’s Style Across the Aisle! For our Art of Tailoring & Fashion Design students, this is more than creating an outfit. It is a chance to take everything they have been learning and bring their creativity, talent (1/2)

BooBoo has become part of so many communities. At my synagogue, SAJ, if I arrive without her, people don't ask, "How are you?" They ask, "Where's BooBoo?" She has her own friends, her own fan club, and somehow manages to make everyone she meets smile.

Today, our wonderful staff and interns joined me in celebrating BooBoo's birthday. Thank you all for helping make her day so special. She loved every minute of the attention!

Once a year, we gather like a family reunion. We hug, laugh, catch up, celebrate each other's successes, and support each other's businesses. We know what it took for each person to get there, and that makes every sale, every smile, and every conversation matter.

Witness to Mass Incarceration Inc. @witnesstomi.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

That is why we come together for Suitcase Sunday.

I am so grateful for every formerly incarcerated and system-impacted person who has come into my life. We know what it feels like to come home with nothing and have to rebuild our lives from the ground up. The world isn't always open to us, but we never stop trying.

As a formerly incarcerated lesbian, Pride has always held special meaning for me. It is a reminder that everyone deserves the opportunity to live authentically, be treated with dignity, and have access to economic opportunity and community.

The name itself carries history. Evie’s mother, Genia Kohn Litwok, received a suitcase from HIAS before arriving by boat to Ellis Island—an act of welcome that became the inspiration for this project and its enduring mission.

Our Executive Director, Evie Litwok, built this work from lived experience. Coming home with nothing and no one, she knew she wanted to ensure that others would return not alone, but with critical essentials and a true support network waiting for them.
