On Saturday, August 29, 2026 Roc-A-Natural Cultural Foundation, Inc. Roc-A-Natural, I was honored to be invited to attend the official launch of Kelvin Richards' campaign for Justice of the Supreme Court, Richmond County and speak on the man of the hour.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kelvin Richards back in 2021 as the NYC Councilmember candidate and his generous support to Roc-A-Natural Cultural Foundation Inc's inaugural Taking It To The Streets: Free Friday Night Films! Since then, anytime I or anyone I refer to him is in need of assistance, he always answers the call; and if he can't help, he refers you to the right person who can.

"It takes a village to raise a child" is an African proverb that means that an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. I am extremely happy to know that Kelvin Richards, Candidate for Supreme Court Judge is a part of the Northshore village.

Kelvin Richards is a Public Defender with the Legal Aid Society in Staten Island. An attorney that represents indigent people and fights to protect their constitutional rights. Mr. Richards will continue to fight for all as the Supreme Court Judge of Richmond County. Please go out and vote on November 3, 2026!

This year's Juneteenth Freedom Parade continues to be significant because we will be marching on Bay Street and through the Rosebank Corridor, which during the 60's through the 80's, people of color were at risk of being beaten if they tried to step foot in Rosebank.

On behalf of the Roc-A-Natural Cultural Foundation Inc, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Fellowship Baptist Church Staten Island for your support. We truly appreciate you addressing our need to promote the 5th Annual Juneteenth Freedom Parade & Festival.

The promotional banner looks wonderful and is perfectly situated on the church fence at 3036 Richmond Terrace. Its prominent location ensures excellent visibility for everyone passing by, which is vital in helping us get the word out for the upcoming celebration at Tappen Park, Bay Street, between Water and Canal Streets, Staten Island, NY 10304 on Friday, June 19, 2026.

We are deeply grateful for your continuous support. Together, we are honored to elevate voices and empower audiences through "edu-tainment." We remain fully committed to collaborating on cultural events that inspire transformation, promote positive growth, and strengthen our community's future.
