Had an amazing time volunteering at this morning’s Mission Hill 5K!

This morning was spent in community at El Mundo’s Annual Hispanic Heritage Breakfast. So proud to count myself as part of such an incredible Hispanic & Latinx community who is deeply embedded in the social, cultural, and economic fabric of this city.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of meeting with Vanessa Calderón-Rosado from Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) in Boston’s South End.

Proud to stand alongside my City Council colleagues, Mayor Wu, the Boston Housing Authority (BHA), the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH), and the Office of Economic Opportunity and Inclusion (OEOI) to announce $7 million in ARPA funding to support first-time homebuyers and local small businesses.

Thank you to all who attended the Ready Boston Field Day in JP this weekend! Shout out to Ky’Ron and the Boston Office of Emergency Management team for putting together a variety of activities to help prepare Boston’s families for emergencies.

Spent Saturday afternoon at the Martha Eliot Health Center Health Fair, hosted annually by Boston Children’s Hospital. It’s a fantastic event dedicated to providing families with valuable health education and resources.

Thanks to the Open Streets team for coordinating this weekend’s Open Streets in East Boston and everyone who stopped by the table to play Jenga, leave a doodle on the sidewalk and play hopscotch with us! We loved meeting you!

We were thrilled to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony and had the opportunity to explore the remarkable new facility at the Josiah Quincy Upper School in Chinatown. It’s a truly impressive space, designed with incredible features that will undoubtedly foster an enriching environment for learning and growth.

Congratulations to Dorchester Market! They’re now open for business in Dorchester offering the community fresh produce and groceries. Thank you to Councilor FitzGerald for extending the invitation to join the ribbon cutting.

Honored to join the community for DeeDee’s Cry 7th anniversary walk, standing in solidarity with survivors, families, and all those impacted by suicide. We were able to walk alongside fellow Councilors Louijeune & Mejia as well as Senator Miranda for the morning’s event.

Delighted to have spent an evening with the vibrant Bowdoin-Geneva community, alongside the Cape Verdean Association of Boston! UNITY days are a special opportunity to listen to neighbors, engage with local resource groups and celebrate the spirit of togetherness that makes this community so special.

Thank you to New Health for the warm invitation to visit their North End location. It was a pleasure to learn more about their services, history, and advocacy in providing affordable healthcare to the community.

Continuing our visits this morning at Tobin School in Mission Hill, we connected with local advocate Leon Rivera to discuss pedestrian safety & ways to enhance family safety in the area. We also had the chance to catch up with Caitlin Gaffey, who taught when I attended Tobin!

Had a meaningful visit to Shirley’s Pantry with Team Santana! We helped restock produce, pack meals and support their team.

So glad we were able to pop into Commonwealth Development’s UNITY Day!

A big shoutout to Ranked Choice Boston for including us in their Coalition Appreciation Barbecue! We had an amazing time mingling, celebrating our wins, and savoring delicious food while enjoying great music. Looking forward to working towards collective priorities.

That’s a wrap on the neighborhood clean ups organized by our summer intern team! Throughout August we’ve visited Mattapan, Roxbury and Friday we took to the streets of Dorchester joined by Councilor Fitzgerald and friends from ITYouth, Greater Ashmont Main Streets, and Sociedad Latina!

We’re so grateful to be able to give back to the community and help keep our streets clean. Thanks to everyone who has joined us throughout the clean up series!

Happy to have joined the North American Indian Center of Boston’s Back to School Event.
