there will never be enough words or photos to capture the beauty of a city that celebrates the individual, the hustle, the dream, the promise for something more.
my memory 24 years ago today is that of a high school student sitting in AP biology just one year shy of attending Columbia University. nothing can erase from my mind the devastation that unfairly chose friends, classmates, relatives, neighbors; the plumes of smoke I could see from our house in NJ; and the foreboding of what was to come.
but the greatest city in the world doesnβt stay down; she rebuilds stronger and more united than ever. we will NEVER forget. π½ π
