Thanks to a big community effort and support, Carmen will be recognized for her hard work and leadership and leaving her mark on the City. We will celebrate what we learned from her and her memory will be kept alive by renaming a corner of East Harlem/El Barrio Carmen-Vega Rivera Way!!

Influencer/Leader/Mentor/Friend. No one is more deserving of having their name placed on this street than Carmen. She have changed so many lives and sparked so many dreams in so many people. Her influence and love has sparked a domino effect and we are thankful.

Carmen was a true community leader who gave so much of herself to many causes, willing to share her wealth of knowledge with anyone, courageous and supportive in all the right moments. She deserves this honor, to never be forgotten and so much more.

Carmen was a beautiful woman, an inspiration and left such a beautiful legacy behind. Please rename the street in her honor for the over 40 years of work and dedication to children, education and her community. It will be the least we can do for her and her children, grandchildren and her great-grandson that she was blessed to see and hold before she gained her wings.

Carmen taught me lessons in 1997 that I remember clearly over 20 years later. She was a positive force of change in her community, and I would love to see her memory honored in this way.
