Today marks our final Philadelphia City Council session before summer recess, and I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished on behalf of Philadelphia residents.

From passing legislation to protect our neighborhoods and preserve generational wealth, to hosting community events and supporting our constituents with the support and assistance they need, my office has remained focused on delivering results for our communities.

While PHLCouncil is on break until the fall, the work doesn’t stop. We’ll spend the summer supporting community events, and preparing for a strong return this fall!

Happy 25th anniversary to the 245th graduating class of the Philadelphia High School for Girls! 💛🤍

It was on June 11, 2001, that we crossed the stage and prepared to make our mark, and that we did.

Over these past 25 years, we have become leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, public servants, mothers, mentors, and changemakers in our communities.

I am so proud of all we have accomplished and I can’t wait to celebrate with the Class of 245 at our upcoming reunion.

Happy Anniversary! 💛🤍

Black music has shaped culture, inspired generations, and continues to influence every corner of the entertainment world.

A special shoutout to my colleague, Councilmember Isaiah Thomas for his leadership around Philly Music Month, and to all of our talented local musicians who make Philadelphia’s music scene so unique.

Today, I was proud to introduce a Resolution honoring Walt Reeder Jr of Big Bloc Entertainment, Inc. in recognition of Black Music Month!

For more than 25 years, Walter has helped shape the live entertainment industry, creating opportunities for Black artists and elevating Black music and culture on stages across the country. Through his leadership at Big Bloc Entertainment and the Black Promoters Collective, his impact continues to be felt nationwide.

We were also proud to recognize his father, Walter Reeder Sr. In celebration of his 80th birthday!

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for your contributions to the music industry!
