Spread Love It’s The Uptown Way….
That is not just the Uptown Collective’s motto but our modus operandi. For the last 16+ years, it has been our guiding light. Love of our community, culture and people has always been front and center.
With that said, it was truly special to take in this momentous Blue Tsunami with our beloved neighbors at 181 Cabrini this past Tuesday. Organized by my dear friend, Juan Rosa, and in conjunction with our fearless councilwoman Carmen De La Rosa, the Audubon Reform Democratic Club as well as Uptown Voices, it truly felt like we were re-living the Knicks historic championship run from earlier this year. The capacity crowd roared every time a milestone was reached on the many screens at the venue. When Texas turned blue, there were cheers, tears, and unadulterated joy. Shout-out to James Lee, owner of 181 Cabrini, for so graciously letting us hold our little electoral shindig there. Show them some love and patronize this special Uptown establishment.
Beyond the much-needed celebration, I broadcasted live from a booth while Octavio Blanco, my partner in Uptown Voices, and the rest of the crew were live from Harlem Tavern, which played host to Darializa Avila Chevalier’s Election Night headquarters. Together, we provided a next-generation Uptown Voices Election Day and Night extravaganza.
