A champion joined us for storytime yesterday 🏀📚

New York Liberty All-Star and WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones visited BCM to read with families participating in Haven: Reunification. She shared stories, including “Salt in His Shoes,” a book about perseverance, family, and pursuing a dream.

Haven: Reunification brings families separated by incarceration together at BCM for shared meals, reading, play, and time to reconnect.

Thank you Jonquel and the New York Liberty, for bringing this special storytime to Haven: Reunification. The program is presented in partnership with the New York City Department of Correction, with support from the Social Justice Fund.

Additional thanks to Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment for helping make the visit possible.
