Danzo describes African immigrant diversity and contributions across NYC
Danzo describes African immigrants as coming from many countries, languages, cultures, and traditions, united by building lives in New York City. They list the roles they fill—nurses, doctors, teachers, small business owners, drivers, engineers, social workers, faith leaders, students, entrepreneurs, public servants, and organizers—and their economic and neighborhood contributions.
African immigrants come from many different countries, speak many different languages, and represent diverse culture and traditions.
But we share something very important.
We have come to New York City to build, to contribute, to raise our families, and to be part of this city to this day.
The African immigrants are nurses, doctors, teachers, small business owners, taxi drivers,
livery drivers, engineers, social workers, faith leaders, students, entrepreneurs, public servants, and community organizers.
We are contributing to the economy, strengthening neighborhood, caring for families, educating our children, and helping make New York a diversity that it is today.
