Greensboro City Councilwoman Jamilla Pinder is a compassionate leader who has always focused on the needs of those she serves. In her many numerous community advocacy roles, she is a quintessential servant leader. Even before she was selected to serve as an  at-large representative on City Council – filling the seat by the late Mayor Pro Tempore Yvonne Johnson – Jamilla has had a penchant for serving her community. She has served on nearly two dozen city boards and commissions, a testament to how she gives back to the city in which was born and raised. Her passion is fighting for those less fortunate among us; thus, for most of her adult life she has fought for equity in healthcare equity and access for quality food access in Greensboro’s poorest neighborhoods.Professionally, Jamilla is the director of community engagement and impact at the Cone Health Foundation. Jamilla grew up in Greensboro and graduated from Dudley High School’s Science and Math Technology Academy and North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. Her son is a graduate of Ben L. Smith High School and Fayetteville State University.
