Thank you, The Almanac, for your coverage of this special event. As I reflect on yesterday's celebration, it was so powerful for the kids in Belle Haven to see and hear from Mayor Pro Tem Cecilia Taylor. She serves as a great inspiration and role model for the kids in her neighborhood, and throughout the City.

Thanks to Jen Wolosin and Mayor Pro Tem Cecelia Taylor for organizing this - it was a great community-building event and I made new friends from different neighborhoods while walking together for a shared cause.
