Your chance to meet some of the team behind 311 and get first hand response on how to navigate the app but also get a response. If you missed the Mayors office hour this is your chance to connect with 311 and other departments.

Welcoming the reenactment of Henry Knox’s journey through Roxbury made the day even more meaningfulβ€”connecting our community to a pivotal moment in history while celebrating the voices and traditions that continue to shape Roxbury today. Loved helping with this event. #Boston250 #Roxbury

Today was truly beautiful. Being from Roxbury is always an honor, but today it felt even more special. From the powerful stories and poems to the beautiful dances, every moment reminded us that Roxbury is rich with history and culture.

We’re fighting to lower residential property taxes in Boston and need your help.

Go to malegislature.gov/Search/FindMyLegislator to contact your state legislators and call on them to pass our plan for tax relief.

Words like his don’t just offend, they create fear, division, and real-world consequences for Somali-Americans who are just trying to live in peace. I’m exhausted by the constant disrespect, and I refuse to stay quiet about it.

We are families, workers, students, business owners, leaders β€” people who contribute every single day to the cities we call home. To be spoken about as if we don’t belong, as if we’re not valued, is hurtful and unacceptable.

What Donald Trump said about the Somali community is not only disrespectful, it’s dangerous. As a proud Somali and someone who deeply loves my community, hearing a former president speak about us with such hate and dehumanizing language is beyond frustrating.

Back to shooting with my camera again so I can stay consistent with capturing everyday momentsβ€”people, places, and all the little things in between. I can’t wait to photograph the holidays, the lights, the laughter, and even the snow (ugh, lol)

Always try to make time to volunteer at a food bank, food pantry, or shelter, especially now more than ever. And if you’re unable to volunteer, consider donating to support their work. Every bit truly helps.
