Meet the seven women who are effecting positive change in Philadelphia right now, from education reform and personal finance to sustainability programs. As told to SARAH JORDAN Photography by BILLY ROOD On the Map MERYL LEVITZ As president and CEO of Visit Philadelphia, the marketing agency behind successful campaigns such as “Philly’s More Fun When You Sleep Over” and “Philadelphia—Keep Your History Straight and Your Nightlife Gay,” Levitz is a seasoned veteran who’s busy rebranding Philly into one of the hottest destinations in the world. My First Job: I was a sales clerk in a department store in Chicago, selling menswear and something we called “record albums” back then. On Starting Out: I was teaching continuing education courses [in time management and money management] at the Philadelphia College of Art, now the University of the Arts, and one thing led to another—and here I am at Visit Philly. On Entertaining Out-of-Towners: There are so many choices, and there is something for everyone. It really depends on their interests and how many times they have been to Philadelphia. Daily Essentials: Green tea and lemon water. Silver-Screen Stand-In: Bradley Cooper, because he is talented, local, and can play anything. The Key to Success: Know yourself and know others. Overcoming Work Challenges: It’s a matter of balancing the many demands on our agency, while maintaining a laser focus on our mission. Office Catchphrase: I find myself saying “Your thoughts?” a lot. Pet Peeves: I don’t like drama—or people who use “plethora” when they mean “myriad.” I have a sign in my office that says, I AM SILENTLY CORRECT- ING YOUR GRAMMAR. As a former English teacher, old habits die hard. After Hours: I like to get outside for a Collage jacket, Donna Karan New York ($1,495).

Ring, Levitz’s own PHILLYSTYLEMAG.COM 95 The Quest for Education Equality HELEN GYM Community activist and education leader Helen Gym has been a persistent, powerful, and dynamic voice in our civic arena advocating through Parents United for Public Education, which she cofounded, and her newspaper, Philadelphia Public School Notebook, for more support for Philadelphia public schools and for governmental transparency. She has served as executive director of Asian Americans United, founded an arts-based community public charter school serving immigrant children, and presses on tirelessly with her work for equality and access to quality education. Morning Routine: I love being with my family in the morning, that flurry of activity as my three children rush around. I drag it out with them as long as I can—especially as they get older and I realize how precious these moments are. Valuable Work Lessons: Meaningful change happens over time, through sustained work, deep trust, and a sense of humility. Some of the problems we’re tackling in Philadelphia public schools are some of the most deep-seated challenges that our nation faces: poverty, race, a commit- ment to equity, and the role and viability of public institutions. Anyone selling a quick fix or simple solution may not grasp the magnitude of what we need to address.

This leader is changing how we think about libraries. Childhood Aspirations: I wanted to be a spy—seriously! It was probably the result of watching too many Sean Connery movies. Finish this Sentence: “I find mean- ing in...”: Deep conversations. I love to talk to people, ask questions, have them tell me something about themselves. It’s amazing how often you can find a common thread between people. Silver-Screen Stand-In: How about Sandra Bullock? After Hours: I go home, have a glass of wine, and hang out with my husband. Favorite Historical Figure: Florence Nightingale, because she was gutsy, innovative, smart, thought outside the box, and established an entire profes- sion by recognizing a need. The Key to Success: If you really want something to work, you have to be persistent and passionate. For example, the fundraising for the renovation and expansion of the Parkway Central Library came to a standstill until we rethought how and what was necessary to excite people about the possibilities. We [first had] to understand what the public needed from its libraries before we could come up with a plan. What Makes the Free Library Great: We have a Culinary Literacy Center where we work to improve the literacy skill sets of Philadelphians who are low-literates using cooking as the medium. We have the largest circulat- ing orchestral collection in the world. We have all four Shakespeare folios (in impeccable condition). My Legacy: To be remembered as a positive, upbeat person who cared deeply about her family, her friends, and her community. PHILLYSTYLEMAG.COM 97 Painting the Town Green ATHERINE GAJEWS I As the director of sustainability for the City of Philadelphia, Gajewski is responsible for the implementation of Greenworks Philadelphia, an environmental plan that has garnered national and international attention, and has positioned this town as a leader in urban sustainability. Gajewski’s persistence, smarts, and forward-thinking make her just the person to lead the charge to get Philly green. My First Job: My first real paycheck job was as a white-water rafting guide in Colorado. On Starting Out: I led the grassroots campaign to advocate for a smoke-free law. Then-Councilman [Michael] Nutter was the sponsor of that legislation, which is how we got to know one another. I supported his run for mayor and joined the administration. I’m outdoorsy and a passionate environmental- ist, so I was a bug in his ear about these issues. Once he took office, I got to work with stakeholders and colleagues to help build our sustainability agenda. Greatest Accomplishment: Contributing to this field of urban sustainability. Cities are always at the center of important changes; in our generation, they will have to be at the center of climate solutions, as well. Going Green in Philly: If we are to make deep reductions in citywide greenhouse gas emissions in line with what scientists and world leaders are calling for, we need to focus on energy: reducing its use, expanding energy efficiency, and implementing clean energy. In Philadelphia, the majority of emissions come from buildings. We can make a serious impact by making our building stock more efficient. At the same time, we would be improving air quality and reducing health risks such as asthma.

    LESSON TRANSCRIPT MODULE 2 | LESSON 2 GETTING AND NAILING THE INTERVIEW INTRO I can tell you from being on both sides of the job-seeking fence that not all job seekers are doing things to really stand out nail their interview. It’s important to not assume that employers will just magically know you’re awesome — you have to show them. Clip And no, I’m not going to necessarily tell you to get a pink scented résumé like Elle Woods, but it’s actually an awesome example of the kind of X-factor that you have to think about so that you can get plucked out of all the résumés on a potential employer’s desk. When I was first applying for my first job, I sent out hundreds of tapes all across the country to different news markets. And in local news, you start with the smallest and try © COPYRIGHT 2019 NICOLE LAPIN LESSON TRANSCRIPT to work your way up. I even tried to apply to national stations, I mean, the worst thing they could say was “no” and I felt pretty good knowing that at least I gave it a go. Wayne Gretzky said you miss 100% of chances you don’t take, right? But it was really the little touches that got me to get noticed. Back in the days of VHS, I know, I’m super old, applicants would send their tapes out with generic black sleeves and the label was just a sticker that they hand wrote their name on. I did not do that.

  • Tobias Okamoto Alm
    THE TOOL BELT A Masculine Jewellery Practice Tobias Okamoto Alm Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design Jewellery + Corpus Master, Essay Spring 2014 Tutor: Christina Zetterlund ABSTRACT This essay is built upon the argument that the tool belt is a piece of jewellery and it investigates where and how the tool belt affects social dynamics in society. It explores the intersections between equipment, accessory, and adornment; where practical and social functionality coexist in a symbiosis. The text adopts a critical gender perspective on jewellery and masculinity; it examines the strategies employed in masculine environments in order to be able to wear jewellery without the risk of feminization. It describes a process of myth creation, surrounding an idealised masculinity built upon rationality and resourcefulness, glorifying the professional construction worker. Acknowledging the tool belt as a piece of jewellery diversifies and enriches the jewellery field. It also expands the perspective on jewellery and masculinity, while opening up for further investigation of the relationship between adornment and gender dynamics. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ 1 JEWELLERY IN SOCIETY .................................................................................................................................................................................

  • Tiara Pair of Earrings in Chinoiserie Style
    1 1. Italy or France Tiara Gold and coral, about 1817 Purchased with funds given by Rita Barbour Kern, 1996.27 French Neoclassicism revived the fashion for wearing a tiara, a head ornament based on an ancient Greek diadem. Tiaras of varying degrees of intrinsic value were worn by every woman from the middle classes to royalty. Coral, which was believed to posses protective powers, was often used in jewelry for children and young adults. A portrait painted by Luigi Bernero in 1817 of Maria Teresa of Savoy (1803– 1879) shows the 14-year-old Italian princess wearing a hair ornament almost exactly like this tiara. Most coral in Europe came from the sea around Naples and nearby Torre del Greco. In the 19th century coral jewelry became a fashionable souvenir. This was partly because people could travel more once the Napoleonic wars had ended in 1815, but also due to the growing popularity of Luigi Bernero (Italy, 1775–1848), Maria Teresa di Savoia.

Palazzo Reale, Turin, Italy 2. and pagoda-shaped elements of these earrings reflect the England period’s romantic taste for the Far East, known as chinoiserie Pair of Earrings in (sheen-WAH-zer-ee). Chinoiserie Style Pierced earrings were a sign of maturity. The first pair of earrings was usually given to a young girl in England at Silver, gold, diamonds, pearls and rubies, age 16, when simple ‘top-and-drop’ pearl earrings were considered to be more appropriate for a young, unmarried about 1820 girl.
