the first and only all-women sanitation crew in New York county




Traditionally, the Department of Public Works (DPW) roles have been male dominated, but these three pioneering women, Kanya Antwi, Khadijah Patterson, and Chakka Christopher, have joined the ranks and are holding their own.

 According to their supervisors, they stand out as some of the finest workers in the department, displaying both exceptional skills and leadership qualities.

 All three initially began as seasonal workers under the "Love Our City Campaign," which was funded through the American Rescue Plan. They contributed to cleaning up "zombie homes" and sidewalks and exhibited remarkable potential.
