In this episode we talk to Rochelle Jackson, a community organizer in the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Rochelle has spent the last 30 years working with the Juvenile Protective Association, or JPA, a Chicago-based non-profit focused on developing the wellbeing of all children in the city. For the last year, Rochelle has been working with JPA to pilot their grandmother’s project which has introduced grandmother-led programming for elementary-aged girls in two North Lawndale schools. When she’s not working, she’s fighting for resources in her neighborhood , especially in strengthening the transportation network to serve its diverse needs. Listen as Rochelle shares her experiences with us.
