Jerome Jackson creates opportunities for BIPOC community members to be at the forefront of envisioning and deciding upon the future of their neighborhoods.
In Their Own Words
We were doing some good work. But I realized that we were sending some people back to the same environment in which they came from with no real skills to navigate that, let alone to get a job. So, I started on my journey of, "How do I make the neighborhoods that they live in better?"
Jerome's Call to Action
In your business and in your community, make diversity and inclusion a priority. Be sure to be critical of your actions and what being diverse and inclusive really means. Don't just do it superficially. Do it right.
