Princella Jamerson

Princella Jamerson serves as a committee member on Bronx Community Board One. She is also the Correspondence Secretary for the Bronx South District Council of Presidents. In these capacities, she has coordinated the weekly scheduled delivery of fresh milk in conjunction with “Milk from the Heart“ to distribute to Bronx residents. 

She became active with the Mill Brook Houses Resident Association when she stepped up to help her ailing friend, Linda Ballou, who was president of the Resident Association at the time. Ms. Ballou’s illness led to her transition in 2007, and Ms. Jamerson was elected Mill Brook Houses’ Resident Association President. Honoring Ms. Ballou’s legacy and commitment, Ms. Jamerson continues to provide services, advocate on behalf of, and protect the residents of Mill Brook Houses and the Bronx community at large. She also coordinated distribution of PPE for Mill Brook residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She has worked with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. and graduated from the Citizens Police Academy, as well as coordinated “Know Your Rights” and “Cop Watch” workshops for residents, in partnership with the Bronx Defenders.

Ms. Jamerson regularly attends meetings and volunteers with the Millbrook Community Center, Bronx Psychiatric Center and Wells Family and Friends Center, to name a few.

In 2010, she was awarded a plaque for orchestrating and implementing an outreach strategy that accumulated the most registered voters in her district by the United States Census Bureau. She was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by NYCHA, former Bronx District Attorney Robert T. Johnson, and the United States Department of Commerce.

Ms. Jamerson was also the recipient of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.’s 2016 Bronx Volunteer Achievement Award, as well as proclamations from Former Mayor, Michael Bloomberg and Former City Council Speaker, Christine C. Quinn.
