Meet the Founder
When I launched Districtly Speaking back in 2011, my goal was simple: to bring friends and their friends together in a room, where we could openly discuss the pressing social and political issues of our time.
What began as spirited conversations in my living room soon evolved into a monthly, citywide dialogue, uniting our community around the issues that matter most.
In the midst of our ever-evolving political and social climate, our mission at Districtly Speaking has never been more vital. As we approach an incredible 13-year milestone, we're more dedicated than ever to fostering conversations and connections that drive social change.
We understand the immense power of networking, partnerships, and the simple act of face-to-face conversation. Yes, town halls are still a thing and I’m still committed to elevating our conversations around the pain points of this city and nation.
Districtly Speaking has always been about bringing stories and issues to life, providing a platform for voices that need to be heard. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey with us! --Jonelle
