Values
There are a lot of little Brooklyns, and we are all a little Brooklyn. We believe in community over competition, culture over coarseness and ideas over indifference.
Community
We believe in giving back to Brooklyn through our own work by uplifting the people who live here, celebrating the voices that won't get heard anywhere else and connecting people through storytelling and shared experiences.
Culture
We believe Brooklyn has grown into a global cultural powerhouse that remains rooted in the local community, which is itself ever evolving.
Ideas
Here you will learn about the artists, entrepreneurs, leaders, musicians, chefs, innovators and more who are shaping the world beyond Brooklyn’s borders and the people, places and institutions that inspire them.
