Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson promoted the Bronx as “a borough of legends” and promised big funding for local projects in her second State of the Borough address on Thursday, April 18.
Gibson, 14th Bronx borough president and the first Black woman to fill the role, entered the auditorium from the back, waving down the aisles as Jill Scott song repeated the lyrics, “Living my life like it’s golden.”
