Born two months premature, Eric Millen-El was cared for at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in East Flatbush, Brooklyn.
“In a pharmacy in Brownsville, a young woman quietly peruses the aisles. She is looking for something, but does not want to draw attention to herself. She stops at the shelves lined with various home pregnancy tests. Quickly, she takes one box and stuffs it away inside her shirt. But all the while, a plain-clothes officer has been watching her every move.”
My man Brian Park is Columbia Grad Student who writes for The Brooklyn Ink. While everyone else on his staff chose neighborhoods such as Bedford-Stuyvesant, Coney Island and Cobble Hill, he manned up and chose Brownsville. The first time I met him, I gave him the “what are you doing out here?!” look. As we began to converse, he intrigued me and made me realize that he is tough! He wanted to take on Brownsville. You know what, I am going to help him too!
