Community leaders and elected officials gathered on Saturday to
celebrate the opening of a new empowerment center in the Bronx.
The center was created to help spread positivity and to offer numerous
services to families. These services include feeding the community
life skills, career development and more.
This new empowerment center is part of "Not On My Watch
Incorporated" a nonprofit organization that has been centered on
helping families and helping women and young girls shy away from the scary
streets of the city.
"This is something I thought of to make young girls aware about the
traffic of women and it just blew up. I was able to come up with
this and I continue to help empower them throughout life and childhood," said Pamela Damon,
the CEO of Not On My Watch Inc.
The center will be open from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.
to 10p.m.
