A little personal news! I’m excited to say I’ll be taking over the race and culture beat at KCUR. I’ve had a great time covering Kansas City politics & government, and I hope I lived up to that challenge. If you ever read my local gov stories, thank you!

BIG year for midwest princesses

New ✨queer✨ business in Roslindale! Stop by Sweetie’s for a cold treat & a big smile! 🍦

@ConciergeBoston @BOS311 @universalhub @Gigi4District1 @RepMichlewitz @LydiaMEdwards @NorthEndONS @BostonPWD @CityOfBoston This has been sent to Code Enforcement. Working to get it cleaned up now!

Ruthzee has always been hyper-competent, hyper-hardworking, and hyper-principled. Proud (and lowkey amazed) that people like her exist in elected office.

My Statement Re: Emerson College

that's right

Three years ago today I met @UrFrenEm in person for the very first time in Mattapan and it’s been a dream ever since - a fast, wild, blurry dream but a dream nonetheless 😂❤️

The Boston Barracudas finished their season! Thanks to the help of the South End Fitness Center, we made sure that these swimmers had a pool for practice. Elated to have these shining faces on my desk - public service is truly the most rewarding ya’ll ! 🏊‍♀️🏊🏊‍♂️

Welcome to a world where @Ruthzee is Boston City Council President

celebrating 20 years of Blue Frog Bakery by having cake for breakfast! A true JP treasure ✨

Boston is the bee's knees, councilors declare universalhub.com/2024/boston-be…

nothing but praise for @BostonPWD ! shared a photo of an abandoned mattress in Brighton & they were quick to act — thank you for keeping our streets clean! ✨🗑️

NEWS: The Kansas City Council voted 10-3 today to ban the practice of source of income discrimination, making it illegal for landlords to reject tenants who have a housing voucher. It means landlords can't reject applicants ONLY because of how they would pay rent.

Update on my chief of staff @UrFrenEm’s pet (🐀) project: working in partnership with the city & residents to ensure folks are living with dignity.

Yes, it is. dotnews.com/columns/2024/i…

.@Ruthzee reflects the vibrancy, determination, and brilliance of the Haitian community in Boston and across the MA-07. Marking Haitian Indepence Day with her historic ascension to Boston City Council President is a fitting celebration.

My president is BLACK!! (And my Telfar is blue 🤭)

new year, new president
