b'GLBL VLLG (Global Village) an urban wellness and entertainment company. So what does that mean exactly? I spoke with Lyonzo Vargas CEO and Co-Founder and Brisa Smith Flores, Digital Marketing and Sales Manager of GLBL VLLG which creates events called Village Jams in which the participants are the headliners. They sponsoring ManiFEST 2019 on August 3rd - an interactive entertainment and wellness festival aimed at celebrating the creative spirit in all people and the social connection we all share through music, art, and well-being. (Also hear me embarrass myself getting happily in the spirit of GLBL VLLG at the end of the interview trying to carry a tune.)

First we talk about one of my favorite cool events of the year - Philly Free Streets a people-powered initiative of the City of Philadelphia. Philly Free Streets temporarily closes streets to cars, inviting people to walk, bike, roll, and play. This year it returns to N. Broad Street. I speak with Shalimar Thomas, Executive Director of North Broad Renaissance and Ellen Lissy Rosenberg VP of Development and Civic Engagement for the Goldenberg Group. http://www.phillyfreestreets.com/'
