Jennifer James is a noteworthy young up-and-coming Black woman, but just a little too fresh for me. She knows a few of the old guard (baggage-laden), but that alone does not qualify her to be a resourceful community leader. She strikes me as not a people person. I and my friemds have observed her in crowds, and she is decidedly sheepish. She does not interact naturally with people. Give her some time to come out of her cocoon.

She has absolutely NO community work experience, and has shown no inclination to be an activist.

I would sooner go for Carlene Gordon, who is more personable, and apparently deeper entrenched in the issues of the community.
