On this episode of Corey’s Corner, retired NYPD executive Corey Pegues sits down with New York State Assembly Member Chantel Jackson, LMSW, who represents District 79 in the Bronx.
Born in Harlem and raised in a proud Belizean-American household, Assembly Member Jackson’s journey from social worker and college advisor to Albany lawmaker is rooted in service, equity, and community empowerment.
We discuss:
•Gun safety legislation and public safety reform
•The youth mental health crisis
•Investing over $2 million into Bronx organizations
•Supporting small businesses and entrepreneurship
•Leadership as a mother, educator, and policymaker
As Chair of the New York State Legislative Women’s Caucus and Black Task Force, she’s elevating underrepresented voices while pushing for systemic change that begins at the community level.
