'We have not done enough — the Bloomberg administration has not done enough," Ms. Quinn, a Democrat, said. Among her proposals was creating a 'welcome home' center in Times Square that would offer counseling, medical, job and housing services for veterans, as well as satellite support centers in each borough.

It is a country’s or continent’s image presented to the world - what better way to make an impact and change [perceptions].' Nine months after graduating from TRIUM in September 2012, she launched Yswara, a luxury retailer of African products, setting up an all-female workforce to give opportunities to local women."
