Chef Gladys Shahtou of Sambuxa NYC calls Queens Night Market “a vibe.” As the proud sponsor of this celebration of culture and community, we couldn’t agree more. Her delicious Sudanese cuisine — and the story behind it — is one of the many reasons why the Queens Night Market is beloved by people from New York and beyond: https://spr.ly/6045fNUQv #BlackBusinessMonth #Citizens #SmallBusiness

Opportunity. Belonging. Purpose. At Citizens, these values come to life through the actions of leaders who lift others as they rise.

Their insights are a powerful reminder that leadership is about showing up, sharing wisdom and creating space for others to thrive. #LeadWithPurpose #WomensEqualityDay

Talking about college costs isn’t easy—but it matters. Our latest Citizens Student Lending Pulse Survey reveals that while 59% of parents felt confident managing costs when their child was accepted, only 21% felt prepared when the tuition bill arrived. Why the gap? Many families focus on getting into college without fully planning for how to pay for it. We’re here to help bridge that disconnect—with tools, guides, and conversations that help families build a plan and feel financially ready.
