Biography: Jackie Glass is a self-proclaimed Certified Doer from the Chicagoland area who served in the United States Navy for eleven years. She moved to Virginia eight years ago and currently resides in heart of Norfolk, Ballentine Place. She holds a BS in Workforce Education Training and Development from Southern Illinois University. Jackie is a sneakerhead by marriage and loves to share her kicks via #AIMS (Activism In My Sole). Jackie, her husband, and two little citizens call Norfolk ‘our chosen hometown’.
Currently, a social entrepreneur, Jackie consults with businesses, organizations, and governments to recognize and improve markets and policies influenced by racism, sexism, and classism. Jackie oversees the operations and creative direction of the Your Neighbor’s Hood- a podcast for uncomfortable culture conversation specifically about race, Mamas on the Block (MOB)- a civic action organization for mothering women, The Mayher- a podcast that normalizes women in local leadership, the way they live and legislate.
She is successfully leading the Norfolk 2045 and Just Dinner campaigns influencing a person-by-person change in cross-cultural relationships and affording people the opportunity to confront their bias. Jackie develops strategic methods for transforming parental leadership into an enabler of innovation for economic growth while promoting an in-home “civics first” mentality so that every citizen’s actions support a truly global city.
