History was made Monday in Tuckahoe after the village sweared in its first female and person of color to be mayor.
A ceremony for Omayra Andino took place Monday. 
Andino won her first election to the village board in 2018, before shattering the glass ceiling again earlier this year.
She is the CEO of the Institutes of Applied Human Dynamics, a nonprofit that provides assistance for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
Andino received her MBA from Nyack College.
