It allows us to keep the residents updated on relevant news that affects their lives. Having Nikki Lucas<\/strong><\/a> as the host is great because she has her pulse on what’s happening throughout East Brooklyn, not just East New York. Besides, Nikki has been working closely with us on our New York for Seniors and Healthy NYC initiatives over the past three years as the host of the events and moderator of our Healthcare Panel Discussions.”<\/p>\n The recorded episodes that aired over the past few weeks included one on one interviews with New York State Senator Julia Salazar<\/strong> and community activists Vincent Riggins<\/strong> and Chris Banks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Week one (Sunday May 3) will include interviews with a CEO of a company in the health industry and an expert on education.<\/p>\n You can watch the show live on Facebook at this link<\/a><\/strong> on the East New York News Facebook page<\/strong><\/a>.
