This afternoon, I had the profound privilege of meeting Latavia Sturdivant, a trailblazing alumna of Lehman College and Columbia University, whose remarkable journey as a disability advocate, licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, NYC Public School educator, Lehman College Adjunct Professor, and author of 'The Illusion of Inclusion: Reflections for Change-Makers', who embodies the power of dedication and leadership. As the visionary creator and host of the Queens On A Roll Podcast, Latavia amplifies marginalized voices and spearheads meaningful change by turning advocacy into action through education, media, and community leadership. Crowned Ms. Wheelchair America 2026, her motto is simple yet powerful: "Don't pay attention to what we roll in, pay attention to how we roll," a testament that ability should never be defined by a wheelchair but by the strength, determination, and leadership a person brings to the table. Latavia, I would like to extend my gratitude for your unwavering commitment to providing a platform for people with disabilities to be seen, heard, and celebrated, and sincerely thank you for your dedicated advocacy.

I am proud to announce the New York State Assembly has passed bill A.11350, legislation I introduced which will increase access to the State's Enhanced STAR Benefit program.

Each year, many otherwise eligible seniors miss-out on this opportunity for vital financial relief, often due to unexpected health issues, family circumstances, genuine eligibility confusion, or difficulties within the application process, and as a result, face unnecessary hardship and financial strain. This legislation would offer these individuals reprieve by providing for one-time retroactive application extensions for qualifying individuals, ensuring our seniors do not have to wait another calendar year to utilize this much-needed benefit.

Today is and the start of , a time to recognize and to thank all of our hardworking farmers who nourish our communities day-in and day-out.

With over 3,000 dairy farms and 630,000 milk cows producing more than 16 billion pounds of milk each year, dairy is our state's largest agricultural sector. So lets raise a glass of milk, a bite of cheese, or maybe even a scoop of ice cream to the hard working dairy farmers who make it all possible!

Happy National Dairy Month!
