In the latest episode of ‘Rooted in Progress”, we sit down with Ariel Amirah Danley — a fresh yet familiar face in Tampa’s political scene.

Danley is vying for the District 5 City Council seat—previously held by her late mother, Councilwoman Gwen Henderson, whose passing ultimately prompted this special election.

Danley is not just stepping into her mother’s shoes — she’s carving her own path.

A Tampa native and community advocate, Danley speaks passionately about issues ranging from equitable housing to youth development and public safety. With a background in nonprofit work and community outreach, she brings a hands-on understanding of the challenges facing District 5.

Tune in to hear how Ariel Amirah Danley hopes to keep the legacy alive—while planting her own seeds of change.
