Daniella Johnson, 32, has worked tirelessly to support the development and growth of social purpose organizations, fostering meaningful and measurable impact in communities across Ontario and Canada as a whole. Now, Johnson, who is of Jamaican parentage, is seeking the candidacy of the federal Liberal Party in Brampton Centre, Ontario. She began her career in social services as a caseworker for the Ontario Works programme and at the Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership, where she collaborated with cross-sectoral partners to facilitate the successful settlement, integration, and community involvement of immigrants and refugees. Johnson says organizations, like the Jamaican Canadian Association and Operation Black Vote Canada, continue to play important roles in the Black community and highlight the need for diversity within political arenas. She speaks with Impacting Jamaica’s Neil Armstrong. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
