Brooklyn
Farragut Housing Community
The New York City Housing Authority operates the Farragut Houses. It comprises 10 non-sequentially numbered buildings with 10 families on each floor, standing 14 stories in height (14 floors). Originally built for military families during wartime, all walls are concrete embedded with lead and 1½ heavy steel apartment doors. They are titled, “The Projects”. All major bus lines, subway lines, and bridges start here. The Farragut Houses were named after Admiral Farragut, a Navy Officer. The basement of each building was designed to be a nuclear fallout shelter.
“Formerly, the buildings had a pair of odd & even elevators until late 70’s, everything onsite through-out a maze of buildings, floor levels and apartments. (laundry, in-house store, playgrounds, community office) The buildings use to incinerate trash (buildings have smokestacks). Impoverished families entered during the 1960’s This was during the vietnam wars, hippie season, the Black revolution and U.S. industrial change”
~ Per Farragut “Original families” and Old Timers.
Farragut has over 2300+ members in their Facebook groups. They gather for Old Timer’s Day and celebrate the neighborhood’s newbies and old-school folks. Sometimes they attend picnics in Commodore Barry Park near the Fort Greene neighborhood, attend a private yacht cruise around the borough with fireworks and dancing on board, or watch movies together on the Jumbotron. This happens once a year in the summer of August for two or three days. The New York City Police Department (84th precinct, Brooklyn) barricades the streets to allow “Brooklynites” visiting from miles around and across the globe to attend block parties on my street; Sands Street).
We have an old saying, “Wherever you go, there’s always someone from Brooklyn”. A very close-knit community near the Brooklyn Navy Yard that contains several businesses. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Today is the center of urban manufacturing and innovation. A one-of-a-kind ecosystem that spans 300 acres, housing 500+ businesses, and employing 11,000+ people.

A Woman of Many Titles
She is a humanitarian, author, artist, homemaker, publisher, and entrepreneur. But what ties it all together is her love for God, her devotion to family. When you meet her, she is a sort of enigma. She’s a woman who has come a mighty long way—and invites you to walk alongside her stories.
Urban Lifestyle Poetry
Kimberley’s books were born from lived experience, community, and the people who rarely see their stories told on the page. She calls it Urban Lifestyle Poetry—a new genre that blends the raw truth of nonfiction with the imagination of fiction.
Her work doesn’t shy away from real life. It explores the humor, heartbreak, and grit of urban neighborhoods. The photography and illustrations that accompany these books draw from Adobe Stock, Dreamstime, Ari Burling Photography (landscape photographer) and Kimberley’s own eye behind the camera.
These books are available worldwide as print-on-demand titles through:
