Welcome back to Feature Friday!
We’ve got one thing to promote, one thing to recap, and 10 Instagrams to highlight!
First – “EXTRA by No Boundaries” has quietly been gaining steam, and listeners, across the region. Our podcast interviews people who have changed their own lives or the lives of others in the community. From veterans conquering PTSD through sled hockey, to the impact free yoga has had on impoverished communities in Buffalo.
This month: The Primary.
For Michelle Roman, it started with a post-presidential election family conversation about politics,
and before she knew it, her two sons had persuaded her to run for an elected position. This episode
follows Michelle in her bid for alderman on Lockport’s common council, including how classes with
Women Elect have helped with the process. Women Elect support women through political
campaigns to promote an equal representation of women in political office.
Michelle is an educator and life-long resident of Lockport, but she’s the new kid on the block when it
comes to its political scene. We track her campaign through to the Democratic primary for
Lockport’s 5 th ward, where she is challenging the incumbent who is also running on the Democratic
line. Will Michelle get one step closer to elected office? Or will her political inexperience hamper her
chances?

Second, THANK YOU for coming to our party on Saturday!
At 1,000 people strong, it was our greatest event to date thanks to all of you and your insane ridiculous costumes. Until the next dance party! Be sure you’re on our email list (you are if you bought a ticket) to know about it first.
As promised, here’s the top instagrams of the week! 44,000+ posts have used #RiseBFLO. Some weeks, it means you can win tickets, prizes, gift cards and more from the businesses we feature. Enjoy these:
