Maleek Jackson

Qualifications and Assets:

I’ve proudly called this neighborhood home for the past 10 years—and for the past 7 of those, I’ve also operated a boxing gym right here in the community. That dual role—as both a resident and a local business owner—gives me a unique perspective on the needs, challenges, and opportunities in our neighborhood. Through my gym, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring youth, building relationships with families, and creating a positive space for growth, discipline, and connection. I see firsthand how much potential lives in our streets—and how important it is to have organizations like NLBd that are committed to investing in that potential. I’m interested in serving on the Board because I want to help strengthen the bridge between residents, businesses, and community organizations. I believe my experience and day-to-day connection with the people here can offer valuable insight as Northern Liberties continues its mission to uplift and empower. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be considered and look forward to contributing in a meaningful way.
