Boston City Councilor Julia Mejia Named BUSSW 2022 Commencement Speaker

Since joining the City Council in 2020, I’ve always centered the voices of those I serve. I live to serve and serve to live. I’m unapologetic about the way I advocate for you because we know the urgency of the issues.

Fue una noche memorable, llena de celebración. Los bostonianos salieron a darle su respaldo a Julia Mejía, la primera mujer concejal latina de origen dominicano, que ha hecho historia en Boston. Fuimos testigos de una vibrante celebración.
