Nicole Johnson @NicoleJChi Educator, Former 20th Ward Candidate “I walk around my community, and I take pictures… I ask myself… what can grow here?” On today’s episode, Nicole Johnson is teaching a lesson in vigilant leadership and bold possibilities. As a leader, how do you impact your community? What could communities accomplish if we dreamed bigger? Reflecting on the lessons learned as she works to make her dreams a reality, Nicole is discussing barriers and solutions faced as she led a 3rd grade classroom, ran a political campaign and keeps a pulse check for community resources. #Shoutout to Englewood! We are discussing sobering realities (an average of 34% of households in her ward don’t have internet!) and optimistic possibilities (hello, UBI), led by a woman fueled by a passion for civic policy!
