TStudents lined up between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the Village of Freeport’s municipal lot #10, behind Trimz, at 20 Guy Lombardo Ave., for backpacks and school supplies on a first-come, firstserved basis. The giveaways also included free haircuts from Trimz and pairs of sneakers courtesy of Heeling Soles.

Broughton, who said the event drew nearly 2,000 participants, including 1,100 children for the back-to-school giveaway, spoke about the motivation behind organizing the event.
“But the places that have come out, they really enjoy being a part of it, and they really enjoy giving back. And that’s all we can ask for,” Broughton said.

Finding a new purpose in art
By MOHAMMAD RAFIQ mrafiq@liherald.com
For many, retirement is a time to slow down, but for Elmont resident Jefte Valle, it marked the beginning of a vibrant new chapter as an artist.
The 72 year-old Valle, whose work will be featured at the Freeport Recreation Center’s Art Alcove in September in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, has a story as colorful and inspiring as his paintings. His art, according to Larry Dresner, executive director of the Long Island Arts Council at Freeport, displays a “great variety of themes and subject matter. His artistic style is very engaging.”
Jefte and his wife Milagros have been married for 47 years and have three adult children and five grandchildren.
His exploration of the world of art began just 13 years ago, when he was 59.

The back-to-school giveaway is held in partnership with Debra Mulé, the Legislature’s alternate deputy minority leader; Heeling Soles, Inc. and Steve Muir, its president and cofounder; Glory House Recovery, Inc. and Terenna Williams, the shelter’s executive director; and support from the Village of Freeport.
The five-hour event featured a variety of fun activities, including a video game truck, music by DJ Sour, face painters, as well as light refreshments and snacks for participants. Other attractions included
Broughton shared that his favorite part was creating a mascot named Bucky and distributing a children’s coloring book promoting anti-bullying and self-confidence, which was well received by the children attending the event.
Koslow, who has taken over the event from the previous legislator, Kevan Abrahams, highlighted its importance from his own experience as a parent who wants to see his kids succeed in life.
“As a parent, I have my own kids, and I want to make sure they’re set up for success,” Koslow, whose district includes Freeport, said. “I want to make sure they know that school is important, and it’s important to go in with the right attitude. And when they come to an event like this,

“I started very late,” he recalled. “I was with my granddaughter, and she was painting with tempera paint on an easel. I just sat down with her and started painting.” What began as a bonding moment quickly blossomed into a passion.
“I liked it. And I said, ‘I think I want to pursue this,’” he said.
Valle turned to YouTube tutorials and workshops to learn the challenging medium of watercolor. “Watercolor is one of the hardest media

PSEG recognizes local entrepreneurs
PSEG Long Island celebrated National Black Business Month in August by featuring two of its newest customers: Trinity Opulence in Hempstead and Suite 1937 in Baldwin.
Dr. Nicole Sample-Harris and her husband Trevor recently opened Suite 1937 on Grand Avenue in Baldwin. The business is what Harris refers to as a luxury event space for milestone celebrations, intimate weddings, showers, networking mixers, workshops and community gatherings. Suite 1937 earned a PSEG Long Island Main Street Revitalization grant of $18,750 and also is receiving credits on its electric bills during its first year in operation, thanks to PSEG Long Island’s Vacant Space Revival program.
“As new small business owners with no prior experience, we had no idea how much goes into transforming a building into a functioning event space,” said Harris. “The PSEG Long Island Main Street Revitalization Grant helped offset unexpected renovation costs and gave us a much needed cushion to preserve the aesthetic vision we had for the space. We’re incredibly grateful as this support allowed us to stay true to our goals while navigating the steep learning curve of starting a new business.
Around the same time, Kemi Ajisafe opened Trinity Opulence on Fulton Street in Hempstead, moving into space that also qualified for PSEG Long Island’s Vacant Space Revival program.
Ajisafe’s business is what she calls an all-encompassing event venue located in the heart of Hempstead and run by the community. She says Trinity Opulence hosts birthday parties, showers, microweddings, traditional engagement and retirement parties, community outreach events, popup shops and corporate events.
“As we converted this vacant building into the beautiful space it is now, we
encountered an enormous amount of damage which required me to utilize personal funds to upgrade,” said Ajisafe.
“Our bill credits through PSEG Long Island’s Vacant Space Revival program will help me recoup some of those preopening expenses and free up some additional funds to fine tune issues that need attention within the building.”
“We are so proud to support our Black business owners and entrepre-
neurs, and to honor Kemi and Nicole for National Black Business Month,” said Veronica Isaac, manager of Customer and Community Partnerships at PSEG Long Island. “With PSEG Long Island’s Business First program, we are able to help small and medium sized business owners with grants and rebates. We also deploy our Business First Advocates to provide a personal concierge service for busy business owners with timesaving account services.”
August was National Black Business Month, which was created in 2004 to celebrate and support Black-owned businesses in the United States. It is an opportunity to recognize the achievements of Black entrepreneurs, like Harris and Ajisafe, and to promote the growth of Black-owned businesses.
PSEG Long Island’s Main Street Revitalization grants encourage investment in local shopping districts; they are available for businesses that complete projects to help improve the economic stability and growth of a municipality. Applications must be submitted and approved before construction begins. PSEG Long Island’s Vacant Space Revival program offers financial incentives of up to $10,000 in bill credits for a new business’ first year when they move into space previously unoccupied for more than a year.

Back-to-school giveaway helps students get off to good start
and students can get prepared with supplies and backpacks and clean clothes and fresh shoes and fresh haircuts, it gives them that mental mindset ‘to be prepared to do the best I can and be the best I can.’”
Koslow encouraged the students to work hard to give back to the community while ensuring the families that they are not alone and that the community is there to support them.
The event is seen as a significant community gathering that strengthens bonds and support among residents, according to Koslow.
Legislator Mulé emphasized the event’s significance in helping financially strapped families.
Wishing the students a great school year, Mulé also spoke about the importance of informing families about available resources through a ticket and stamp system, where vendors signed the tickets designed as bills, before handing out the goodies to the children.
Raquel Levine, community outreach coordinator at Moore 4 You Community Center, the nonprofit M4U strives to enrich the lives of families in various communities through After-School & Community Centers in Brooklyn and Long Island, at 90 Mill Rd. on the 2nd floor in, Freeport, discussed the significance of this community-based event and expressed her gratitude to Trimz for organizing it.
“This community event is amazing. We’re very appreciative of the Trimz for
putting it on,” Levine said. “Today, we’re here just to spread the word about our community center as well. So that’s the reason why we are part of it today, is because we help families in the Freeport community, whether it’s giving out backpacks, providing a meal. We’re having a thrift store sale next week, and so anything that we can give back to the commu-

Chamber rises during 15th year
Since its founding on Oct. 10, 2010, the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. has steadily expanded its reach and impact, advancing the interests of minority- and women-owned businesses across Long Island.
As the organization approaches its 15th anniversary, LIAACC will mark the milestone by hosting the fourth annual Minority Enterprise Development Month celebration on Oct. 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Town of Hempstead Pavilion, One Washington Street, Hempstead.
Chambers of commerce are widely recognized as essential engines of economic growth and advocacy, and LIAACC has worked over the past decade and a half to be a leading voice for small business on Long Island. The chamber’s work includes advocacy, workforce development, business education and targeted programs designed to reduce barriers to capital and contracts for historically underserved entrepreneurs.
“We remain fully committed to breaking down barriers daily and creating opportunities for small business owners to thrive and scale their businesses to the next level,” said Phil Andrews, president of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
Andrews’ leadership has been a through line in the chamber’s development. In September 2013 he was invited to join LIAACC’s leadership as chairman of membership and later accepted the presidency, bringing experience from his time managing the Haircut Hut barbershop
franchise and recognition as Small Business Person of the Year by regional chambers.
“The addition of Rose Ward as vice president of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. has helped the chamber to grow its Retool, Refocus, and Rebuild Black Business Campaign which was originally launched during the pandemic,” Andrews added.
Phil Andrews was honored as the New York District Office’s “Small Business Champion” by the U.S. Small Business Administration in 2019. In 2022 the chamber joined the SBA-funded Community Navigator Pilot Program through a partnership with the U.S. Black Chambers’ Community Economic Development Corporation, part of a national effort to connect underserved entrepreneurs to federal resources. In the same year, the chamber co-hosted the first Minority Enterprise Development Week event on Long Island, a regional extension of the national MED Week established by presidential proclamation in 1983.
Local business leaders say Andrews’ involvement has been decisive. “Phil Andrews has been a great leader and friend to me for many years. I traveled from the Bronx and now New Rochelle to be a part of this chamber because I know if he’s going to be a part of it, it will make a positive and forceful impact in our community,” said Anthony Quinones, CEO of The Fracct Agency.

Valle loses and finds himself
to learn, but it interested me a lot and challenged me,” he said. His dedication paid off, leading to exhibitions at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition; Café Art, in Manhattan’s Spanish Harlem; and the Barrio Art Space, also in Spanish Harlem.
Retired from a 40-year career as a medical laboratory technologist in Brooklyn, Valle now finds fulfillment and purpose in art. His work is deeply rooted in his Puerto Rican heritage and his youth in Brooklyn.
“More than half of my art is depicting Puerto Rican culture,” he said. His paintings capture the vibrancy of Puerto Rican traditions, from the classic Paso Fino horses to the African-influenced bomba dance.
Nature is another significant influence on his work. “I see God’s creation and everything in the detail and the colors in the lighting of the sun on the landscape,” he said, “and I see that as a gift and something that God gave us to enjoy.”
