Resilient.

If there’s one word to use to describe Bronxites it’s resilient. We’ve been through proverbial hell and back and by the grace of our community members and leaders we’ve lifted ourselves from the dark days.

On Wednesday, Libertad Urban Farm was vandalized and burglarized erasing years of hard work put in by its founder, Tanya Fields of The Blk Projek.

Tanya put out a video where she was in tears and devastated by what had happened which soon went viral.

The next day, Bronx residents rallied to rebuild what was lost.

Community that sticks together is stronger together. Check out the video below:
