Off the Wall: Philadelphia

A neon billboard in Philadelphia is lighting the way for Kensington neighborhood residents. Kensington Healing Verse is led by Philadelphia poet laureate Trapeta B. Mayson. The project raises the voices of community members through poetry and creates meaningful public art experiences throughout the city.

Aired 06/14/2022

Catina Anastasiadis, Donna Johnson, and CRR members worked with IMPACT and other Kensington agencies to clean up the streets.

Over 2,100 pounds of trash was removed! Kudos to them for helping our community!
