Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?
Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.
Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

Might be the first home born Nigerian to be signed to a Latin record label. Sony Latin to be specific. Also.. had 2 number Latin records on billboard last year. Danny Ocean x Kapo, and Wisin x Kapo. All within months of each other.

A Nigerian that was attempting AI in 1971 was sent to the psychiatric hospital.
In the early 1970s, a Nigerian student, Mudashiru Ayeni, believed he had invented a battery-powered robot office assistant and asked to personally demonstrate it to the head of state, Yakubu Gowon. He was sent to a psychiatrist instead.
According to a 1971 feature story by TRUST magazine:
▶️Ayeni made eight visits to the hospital before the psychiatrist certified him to be of sound mind.
▶️The 20-year-old student then wrote to his school principal about the role young Africans were expected to play in the continent’s development.
▶️This time, he was banned from classes and forced to quit school entirely.
▶️Ayeni later reached out to Nigeria’s Federal Commissioner of Communications, Aminu Kano, who encouraged him and gave him a renewed sense of purpose.
▶️How his robot worked: at the press of a button, it told the caller whether the boss was busy, available, or away from the office.
▶️At the time the story was published, Ayeni said several businessmen had already expressed interest in his invention.
If there was just one Nigerian character in Stranger Things,it would have all been finished in 1;maybe 2 seasons—tops.

Wild thoughts…YouTube tutorials and experimentation with garage band led me to a placement…
I grew up singing. I sang everywhere I went, I wrote songs in my diary, I told teachers that I wanted to be a singer & songwriter when I grew up.
But wanting to be a musician in 2006 required resources that a low-income family didn't have. My parents couldn't afford to get me any instruments. They couldn't pay for music lessons. They couldn't get me into studios. A dream I had became just a memory, until now.
I am beyond proud and honored to get to work at a company that is enabling music creation for everyone. For the 13 year old kid in their bedroom who dreams of being a musician, you can be one. For all of the professional artists, you can do more of what you love.
I really wish Suno existed 20 years ago when I was a kid in elementary school, showing strangers songs I wrote with no way to produce them. But I'm really, really happy that it exists today, for all of the other kids who might need it.
We are still just getting started :)
