Don't Touch My Politics: Summer Series with City Councilor Candidate, Feanna Jattan-Singh

Over the summer, Don't Touch My Podcast says, "Don't Touch my Politics" as we sit down with political candidates running for the Worcester City Council and School Committee seats. In this episode, we sit down with City Councilor Candidate, Feanna Jattan-Singh. More about Feanna: Feanna Jattan-Singh, is originally from North Carolina, with roots from Trinidad and Tobago, India, and Africa. She settled in the north when she attended Johnson & Wales University for International Business. After College, Feanna started a health and beauty business, and moved to MA when she got married. She moved to Worcester with her husband and family back in 2010. Since 2014 she has worked as a Substitute Teacher at Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public Elementary School. In 2017, Feanna got her Real Estate License and started her career in helping buyers buy their first home. Since then, she has expanded into helping both buyers, sellers, as well as renters to find housing. Feanna is also a member of the Kiwanis Club of Worcester where they do many projects to help the children of Worcester. One of those projects is giving gifts to the children of both Wawecus school and Union Hill Elementary school each year. This year Worcester Kiwanis also started a book program where we gave books to the students at Union Hill school. Aside from that, Feanna is also a member of the Board of Touchstone Community School where her 2 youngest children attend. She also volunteers at Liberty Church in Shrewsbury, MA in the Nursery, most Sunday mornings.  Recently, she went on a trip to Kenya where the team did Leadership training for community leaders, gave out gifts to many students at seven different schools, and attended the first graduation ceremony for the Focus Dream Center Vocational and Technical College. Feanna decided to run for city council district 3 for Worcester, due to a lack of response from the current district 3 Councilor after advocating for a sidewalk for Sunderland Road for over 10 years. She is also trying to get the city to do something about the lack of accountability with the buses being so ineffective. Feanna is also advocating for more affordable housing in the city.
