 The next person I'm going to introduce, this role is extremely important because all of the engagement directors within the city of Philadelphia, we don't want anyone working in silos. We have to have someone leading the effort to coordinate all of the activity to ensure that it's contributing to the agenda that you heard us mention, save clean green economic opportunity for all. And probably, and he doesn't even know this, after this interview took place when you were going through the process, the team started texting me immediately because you were the only candidate who talked about measuring, measuring how effective the city has been via each of these engagement offices and how what we communicate to you that this is how we want you to measure our work. What are the key performance indicators? What are the metrics that we are going to use? I'm excited that this gentleman is a distinguished community organizer. He's an educator, he's a strategist and he has over a quarter of a century of experience working in public service. Some of us will remember him working in close partnership with Council Member Curtis Jones Jr. and our Council President, King Yada Johnson. And I have no doubt that his abilities to engage communities will bring about what we need to show some organization within these engagement offices with the city of Philadelphia. I also just have to state for the record that he does don the orange and blue. He is a graduate of Lincoln University. He's one of the first historically black degree-granty institution of higher learning in the nation. Chair of Board of Cheney. And ladies and gentlemen, and he's a Cap-A-Man, can I say that? And he's a Cap-A-Man too. Put your hands together for a warm round of applause for Will Meagher, our Director of Neighborhood and Community Engagement. In the name of the divine intelligent life force, I bear witness that regardless of name, language, culture, religion, folk ways, mores or norms, there is but one God. So we start honoring that divine supreme being. I'm going to stay on message because I've always told my candidates, don't shoot from the hips, stay on message. So I wrote a speech, I'm not used to writing my speeches, I speak them. Good morning all. First, let me thank our Mayor, Terrell Parker, for having the faith and a fair hiring process to solve fit to bring me on to her team. I look forward to assisting our Director of Neighborhood and Community Engagement, Hassan Freeman. In the day-to-day running of our office to ensure that our team meets its objectives. As the new Deputy Director of Community Engagement, I am inspired by the Mayor's commitment to creating a greener, safer, cleaner, and more economically vibrant Philadelphia. I share her conviction as these initiatives are not only critical to the city's growth, but are fundamentally tied to closing the opportunity gap that currently affects youth, women, the Latino community, the African American male community, in our faith-based community, brothers. I'm excited about the prospect of leveraging my skills in community outreach, program development, and policy advocacy to further these goals. I believe that by fostering strategic partnerships, driving community engagement, and advocating for impactful policies, we, that's to all of us, we can make significant strides towards a more equitable, economic and equitable city, especially for those most in need. I'm particularly passionate about creating programs that will address the economic and educational disparities that face Black males, which will contribute to a more robust and inclusive economy. It is in my opinion that by increasing positive self-awareness and pride that we can put a dent into our gun violence crisis. In other words, you can't kill what you love. If you know who you are and you love yourself, it's impossible to kill your brother because you see yourself in your brother. The potential to collaborate with city agencies, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders to amplify voices and needs of Black males in Philadelphia resonates deeply with my professional, ethos, and personal commitment to social justice. Thank you once again for considering me in this vital role. I'm eager to contribute to your agenda. We all want to say one thing, but before we do that, I want you to understand the significance of this time. Look at these paintings all around, looking down on us. None of them, not one of them, absolutely one of them, saw this coming. But it's here for a reason at 100, so as we say in the hood, let's keep it 100, one feeling. If you just give us just a few more minutes of your time, we greatly appreciate it. The next two I am about to announce are reappointments. A future, a predictor of future behavior is how you performed in past behavior.
