    "i was born and raised in the south bronx. it's authentic, and it's real new york. the community looks out for each other but people are suffering due to lack of resources and funding. that's an extreme understatement to keep it short. but the people thrive despite all kind of adversity and against all odds. outsiders may have a hard time fitting in without respecting and overstanding all of this and more.
