PITTSFIELD â Jahaira DeAlto Balenciaga spent just a few short years in Pittsfield, but she didnât need long to make her impact in the community.
âWhen she showed up into a room, you knew that she was there,â Kelan OâBrien, a friend of DeAltoâs and an organizer for Berkshire Pride, said at a Saturday evening vigil for DeAlto, 42, who died last Sunday in a violent attack at her Boston apartment.
âShe was loud in the best type of way, she loved unconditionally, she welcomed everybody into her chosen family, into her community and we can see that here tonight,â OâBrien said to more than 100 people who gathered in Pittsfieldâs Pontoosuc Park.
PITTSFIELD â The Elizabeth Freeman Center will reformulate its annual âWalk a Mile in Her Shoesâ event, citing feedback it received that the event reinforced gender stereotypes and did not more fully include the LGBTQ+ community.
The campaign, which takes place each September, will be replaced by a new event, according to a letter to the community from Executive Director Janis Broderick and board President Marie Paradise.
âFor the past ten years Elizabeth Freeman Center participated in an international campaign called âWalk a Mile in Her Shoes.â In the Berkshires, this event occurred every third Thursday of September and grew each year,â the letter said.
