Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on May 13, 1951)

Happy Birthday to the trailblazing Sharon Sayles Belton! You made history as Minneapolis' first African American and female mayor, proving once again that women don't just run households—they run cities too. Your leadership from 1994 to 2001 left a legacy brighter than Minnesota summers (and definitely warmer than our winters!).

Receiving the prestigious Rosa Parks Award was no small feat—clearly your courage in politics rivals even your legendary sense of humor. May this birthday bring you laughter, joy, and cake that's sweeter than election victory speeches. Here's wishing you another year filled with success—and fewer potholes!
