Staten Island Street Art New York

I was born in Staten Island, NY, 🇺🇸 and have lived there most of my life. I've attended Catholic School, Albanian School, and public school, and studying at various school systems has exposed me to opportunities to improve my-selves more inclusively. Staten Island is a borough of New York City in Richmond County. Initially, Dutches established a settlement on the Island. Also, the Native Americans ceded all claims to Staten Island to the English. Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects the eastern portion of the Island to Brooklyn and always travels to Manhattan and Brooklyn.
