This right here is where it all started for me.
O'Dwyer Gardens.
Coney Island, Brooklyn.
The hood that raised me.
A lot has changed since I was a kid. The buildings look different. The grounds look different. The neighborhood has evolved.
But every time I come back here, I'm reminded that your beginning doesn't have to determine your ending.
Some people see projects.
I see memories. I see lessons. I see struggles. I see growth.
Even on a rainy day, this place still shines bright.
What a time to be alive.
