Walking with FUREE by Akoma Miriam Perez Post 9/11, Wanda Imasuen, a Harlem raised believer in the American Dream, found herself jobless and going to the welfare office. The humiliation of her treatment and the persistent efforts of the women at FUREE (Families United for Racial and Economic Equality), led Wanda to become an activist and speaker and to recruit other women to empower themselves. New York is Killing Me by Regina Eaton, Dalila-Johari Paul and Jaïra Placide New York City streets and the people who walk them are filled with all kinds of dreams and potential.
