Khari Edwards vies to be Brooklyn Borough Prez

Khari Edwards, the son of Trinidadian and Guyanese immigrants, is running for Brooklyn Borough President because his life’s work has been dedicated to advancing equity, inclusion, and community engagement in every corner of the borough.

“As the son of Caribbean immigrants raised in Crown Heights, I witnessed firsthand how many Brooklyn neighborhoods have been neglected and underserved, and I understand that meaningful progress demands leadership that is accessible, accountable, and truly listens to the people,” Edwards, a former vice president of external affairs at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn, told Caribbean Life exclusively over the weekend.
