Neighbors,

As we close Women’s History Month today, I want to take a moment to recognize the phenomenal women who are leading in Ward 5 every day. They give tirelessly to their families and communities, oftentimes without the thanks or recognition they deserve.

Born and raised in Ward 5, I have been privileged to see women leaders in our community for my entire life. My mother was my first example of a selfless leader and my wife continues to amaze me every day with her unyielding commitment and dedication. I understand how fortunate I am that our two daughters are able to witness phenomenal women around them every day at home and throughout the District, particularly in Ward 5.

While I simply cannot list every woman that is making an impact in Ward 5, I do want to recognize our women Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners and civic association presidents below. They are the first ones to answer my calls, come down to testify, lead community cleanups, volunteer at schools, and assist in every way, big and small. To you, I say thank you. I am grateful for your service and the opportunity to have you as my partners.

In Service,

Kenyan
