The HUBB to me is a place for holistic healing for our youth. The HUBB is the best place for new beginnings to happen for a population that has been scarred, labeled and deemed unworthy of second chances.

​

The one thing that I wish to accomplish would be to help elevate and empower as many youth leaders as possible.

The H.U.B.B. means a safe place for youths and families in need of 
assistance. I am the Facilities Manager and it is my pleasure to assist families with food insecurities and provide opportunities for the families to come to our HUBB Food Pantry on Fridays. Also, give them a sense of people caring for them.

I look forward to being able to continue to do what I do and be a light for our youths and families.

To me the HUBB means rich relationships with not only the inner city youth but also the community and community partners. The HUBB not only means positive change for the community, but also new chances, resources, new skills and new opportunities for the youth and their families. 

​

My goal is to inspire, encourage, motivate and support all that enter the doors of the HUBB Arts & Trauma Center through all forms of media.

I’m at the Hubb because I love listening to the youth and sharing information. They educate me on new terminology and things going on in the world today. There’s so much that’s new to me and so much that stays the same. Working here has helped me to bridge the gap between those things. 

I hope to accomplish helloing the youth go to school, graduate and be something in life. It’s more to the world than Newark, talk to them about traveling and show them how to expand their potential. 

The Hubb to me gives an opportunity for Prosperity. This place provides a chance to learn skills that can help our youth elevate themselves. It gives me an chance to be selfless and share the knowledge I have with the youth. 

One thing I want to accomplish is to keep kids from going the wrong path. I want to change the statistics in our community when it comes to youth education and increase the graduation rate. 

The HUBB is an escape from the norm for most of the kids we cater to. This place represents a place for both the staff and young adults to express their innermost thoughts without judgment or harsh criticism. A place where growth & guidance, both mental and emotional, can be administered in a safe and understanding environment. Like a big brother/sister and in some cases parental interaction.

BIO

Breaunna McCray was born and raised in Newark, NJ. A graduate of Weequahic high school in 2009 unfortunately she had no real guidance early on in life so she (just like so many other youths in inner cities) became a product of their environment and early Breaunna didn't make the best choices. This led her to have an eye-opening experience when she herself was a victim of gun violence in 2014 and was shot a number of times which ended up with the loss of her best friend who was the intended target. Breaunna almost lost her life, needed 13 blood transfusions, and was in a coma walking away with both mental and physical scarring.

The HUBB ATC is the place that took a chance on me. They brought me in and helped me to understand on a deeper level that everyone shares different life experiences that cause them to react to things differently than I may, and that's okay because they're entitled to that.

Just like other community members that grow up or lived in underserved communities, I have to have had my own experiences with community trauma, generational trauma, and vicarious trauma.

​

The HUBB to me, is an opportunity to mentor high-risk youth and at-risk youth and show them that they can improve their quality of life simply by changing how their minds formulate thoughts.  Also to me, The HUBB means family, community, togetherness, teamwork and synergy.

​

I hope to inspire youth, help them increase their quality of life, help our youth pursue higher education, start businesses, and start the process of developing generational wealth for themselves and their families.

The HUBB is a place where we can make a huge difference not only in the community but in the life of the youth that we serve.

​

My desire to make a positive impact on the youth by being reliable and dependable.

Lead High-Risk Interventionist at the HUBB and co-founder of New Direction. New Direction founded in 2021 exists to provide alternative education and employment opportunities for youth and adults that are at-risk and high-risk individuals in our community, who are also victims of traumatic experiences living in underserved communities like Newark, NJ.

The HUBB means opportunities and enlightenment. I hope to lead our youth into their greatness by helping them become better for themselves and theirs families through education and empowerment.
