Two people pose together at what appears to be a formal event with blue curtains in the background. On the left is Ruthzee wearing a bright blue blazer over a white top, and on the right is someone wearing a dark suit with a red tie and a medal on a red, white, and blue ribbon around their neck. They are holding what appears to be a rose gold or bronze colored circular award or plaque. Both are smiling warmly at the camera.

A speaking event at what appears to be an “EM Hispanic Heritage Breakfast” (visible on the podium sign). Ruthzee in a bright blue suit stands at a podium speaking and gesturing expressively. Behind them stands someone in a dark suit with a red tie, and seated at tables on either side are several people including someone in a red suit on the left and others in business attire. The setting features blue stage lighting and black curtains, with a formal dining setup visible including place settings and floral centerpieces.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Six people stand in a line on a wooden stage or floor against a backdrop of blue curtains. From left to right, they wear: a yellow blazer with black pants, a red pantsuit, a floral dress with a light-colored scarf, a black suit with a tan fedora hat, a lavender dress, and a bright blue suit. The setting appears to be a formal event or ceremony.

Three people are captured in a candid moment, all smiling and appearing to be at a formal event. The person on the left wears glasses and a floral print outfit, the person in the center, Ruthzee, wears a bright blue blazer, and the person on the right wears a red top. The background shows a blurred event space with blue lighting.

What an honor to join the 2025 El Mundo Hispanic Heritage Breakfast and share the head table (and a few roasts 🙃). ¡Gracias, Alberto! For uplifting Latinos across our city and state, and for the Bad Bunny jokes. Inspired by all the leaders shaping our students’ futures. Nos vemos el próximo año! ✨

This is a Rosh Hashanah greeting card with “G’MAR CHATIMA TOVA!” prominently displayed in bold black text, meaning “May you be sealed [in the Book of Life] for good” - a traditional greeting during the period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Below it says “Boston” in italics, and the Hebrew text “חתימה טובה” (Chatima Tova) appears in coral/orange color at the bottom.

This is a public statement from Boston City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune addressing two serious incidents that occurred in the Mattapan neighborhood. The statement is formatted as a formal communication with purple quotation marks and official branding. The statement addresses: 1. A death that occurred after police responded to an incident at a group home, noting that the exact circumstances are still under investigation by the district attorney’s office and emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability for the family. 1. An attack on a gay couple near Mattapan Square, which Louijeune condemns as an act of violence and homophobia. The statement mentions immediate outreach to law enforcement and collaboration with District Councilor Pepén to increase police presence in the area. The tone is measured and official, acknowledging community concerns while outlining concrete steps taken in response to both incidents. The statement concludes by thanking community members for their engagement and reaffirming the goal of ensuring everyone feels safe and welcome in the neighborhood.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Please see my recent statement concerning tragic incidents in Mattapan.

These elements are scattered around the text in a cheerful, celebratory pattern. In the bottom right corner is the signature “RUTHZEE LOUIJEUNE - BOSTON CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT,” indicating this is an official holiday greeting from a Boston city official to constituents celebrating the Jewish New Year.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
