San Francisco Mayor London Breed has only a few more weeks in office. During her tenure, she led the city during some difficult times, a pandemic, a drug crisis and a persistent homeless problem. We sat down with Mayor Breed to reflect on her six years in office.
Lyanne Melendez : “It seems everyone wants to know, what’s next for London Breed? So, let’s start there.”
Mayor London Breed : “Who knows, I may write a book, I may start my own business, I just don’t know what I want to do. But I want to take a moment to just take some time for myself so I could figure it out.”
London Breed admits her humble upbringing shaped her identity, yet, she never allowed others to perceive her as anything less than a rising star.
In 2013, she was sworn in as the supervisor of her district, which includes the Western Addition, the only neighborhood she’s really known.
It was only a matter of time before she became president of that board and in that role, the unexpected landed abruptly.
Lyanne Melendez : December 11, 2017, then-mayor Ed Lee suffered a massive heart attack. Do you remember that phone call?
