And…that’s a wrap! I am so proud of my PHILADELPHIA250 team and our creative partners at Koi-Fly Creative and communication partners at Grimm & Grove for creating such relevant, aspirational — and downright cool content, for Season 1 of In the Pursuit. What started as a simple idea to test our Philly250 #values with Philly changemakers and thought-leaders has become a video and audio trove of genius insights, personal stories, and calls for actions by our amazing interviewees and moderators.

THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of the In the Pursuit conversations. You are all doing such important work for Philadelphia. Thank you for all you do everyday!

This final episode of Season 1 has us thinking about the future and the #RevolutionaryActions, design thinking, and youth leadership that we need to get us there. I am excited to share my recent conversation about these topics with Philadelphia’s own Natalie Nixon and Jamira Burley. These two women are going places! And they are bringing the right futuristic thinking we need to move Philadelphia forward to 2026 and beyond. I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

After listening, if you’re inspired, please make a Declaration for 2026 for us! It’s as easy as filling out the simple form on our website. We will be rolling out programming in the future about our Declarations and this will help us kick off that upcoming citywide initiative. Thanks for following us and stay tuned for Season 2.

In community,

Danielle
