Authentic Leadership

Meet Jamell Henderson

From Foster Care to Public Service

My journey took me from a one-bedroom in NYCHA housing to earning multiple degrees from the City University of New York. Now, I’m a Brooklyn political leader driven by a simple belief: every person, no matter where they start, deserves a fair shot at success.

MORE

I’m running for New York City Council District 41 because more than 140,000 residents deserve an authentic leader who recognizes every neighborhood's need and will deliver real funding, policies, and resources.
