In this week’s photo gallery, actress and author Jane Kennedy takes the stage in conversation with Urban League President Michael P. McMillan during the Whitney M. Young Society fundraiser at the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten. Nelly and Ashanti joined community leaders at Nelly’s 2025 Black and White Ball at the Four Seasons Hotel for a night of philanthropy benefiting Make-A-Wish and Harris-Stowe State University. On the music front, Eric Benét delivered holiday soul backed by a live band at City Winery, filling the room with festive classics and timeless vocals. We also spotlight Hyde Park resident Regina Dennis-Nana, who shares cautious optimism about future development near the NGA campus. And the gallery closes with Dr. Cierra Wourman and Dr. Jilana Cavalier Williams, honored among the 2025 Delux Power 100 at the Hyatt Regency at the Arch.
