is a relatively new organization that advances various socio-economic and political positions of Black women and other disenfranchised groups. At the helm of this organization is President Jamila Pringle-Fynes, 34, who has made it her mission to serve her community.
A Brooklyn native, Pringle-Fynes is a descendant from down South and has a Caribbean background as well. She was raised in Bed Stuy. Her interest in community services was sparked after her first internship at U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke’s office in 2011. She was still in college at the time, considering a career in journalism.
She went on to briefly work for a public relations firm and then a marketing firm. Eventually, she made the move to working for the State Assembly communications department and then finally the Mayor’s Community Affairs unit under former Mayor Bill de Blasio. “We have so many differences and things that we might think differently about but we don’t have anything that really brings us together at a table to support one another and inform one another,” said Pringle-Fynes. “That’s the gap we try to fill.”
