Meet the Candidates
Chantel Jakcson
Chantel Jackson is a native New Yorker, growing up a Harlemite in the then downtrodden and crime-riddled borough of Manhattan. Child of an immigrant mother from Belize, and American born father, Chantel proudly claims, “Soy de Belice,” while giving honor to her African ancestors. Chantel is also a dedicated member of her community, deeply connected and engaging in work which she and her fellow citizens find selfless, even life-changing. Chantel is all of this, but she is indeed so much more than these rudimentary qualifications and labels. Through working as a social worker, professor, her becoming a published author, and a leader in her community, Chantel Jackson has proven she is beyond accolades and stamps of virtue. Ms. Jackson is the type of person who has proven by her exemplary track record that she is capable of achieving the seemingly unachievable, and helping the seemingly helpless.
