Cheraldean Duhaney, the esteemed Councillor representing Ward 1 in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, made history as the first Black woman and the first Black person elected to her position, marking a historic milestone in Bradford West Gwillimbury’s council for the past 12 years. Her unwavering leadership epitomizes the essence of community empowerment. Hailing from Jamaica, her childhood experiences within various school leadership groups, notably the Red Cross Society, ignited her passion for public service at an early age.

Throughout her journey, Cheraldean has prioritized empathy, understanding, and inclusivity, recognizing the importance of amplifying marginalized voices and advocating for justice and equality. Her commitment to lifting others and her resilience and determination showcase her as a beacon of strength and inspiration in the community.

She shares her inspiring journey with Esther Ijewere In this exclusive interview.

Forging Foundations: Shaping Leadership Through Childhood

Growing up in Jamaica, I was immersed in various school leadership groups dedicated to community service. Organizations like the Red Cross Society ignited my early interest in leadership, providing invaluable interactions with government officials that influenced my perspective on public service from a young age.

Raised in a nurturing environment filled with love, empathy, and compassion, my parents instilled in me the values of respect and kindness toward others, irrespective of background or circumstance. These foundational lessons continue to underpin my approach to leadership and community involvement.

Emphasizing empathy and understanding the needs of others has become a cornerstone of my leadership philosophy. I believe in amplifying the voices of all community members and fostering collaborative efforts to address challenges and drive positive change. My experiences in school clubs further honed my teamwork and cooperation skills, essential for effective community leadership.

In summary, my childhood experiences have equipped me with the empathy, compassion, and leadership acumen needed to navigate the responsibilities and challenges of community service. Grateful for these formative lessons, they remain instrumental in shaping my approach to public service today.

Breaking Barriers: Championing Inclusive Representation

As the first black woman, and indeed the first black person, to be elected, I am deeply committed to ensuring that all residents in Ward 1 have their needs and priorities heard and addressed. I plan to implement regular community forums and listening sessions to gather input from constituents of diverse backgrounds. Additionally, I will work closely with community leaders and organizations to advocate for policies that promote equity and inclusivity. It’s crucial that everyone feels represented and empowered in our decision-making processes.

Inspiring Women: Lessons in Leadership

My grandmother has been a pillar of strength for me, embodying unwavering faith and unconditional love, which taught me the importance of compassion and resilience in leadership. My mother’s endurance through challenges has shown me the power of perseverance and determination in achieving goals. Oprah Winfrey’s journey from adversity to success has inspired me to embrace vulnerability, authenticity, and empathy as essential qualities in effective leadership. Learning from these remarkable women has shaped my leadership approach to prioritize empathy, resilience, and authenticity in guiding and empowering others.

Empowering Community Through Diverse Programs

My experience with Impact Youth and Cultural Centre has shown me the importance of providing diverse programs and services for youth, families, and seniors. I plan to leverage this experience by advocating for increased funding and resources for such initiatives, collaborating with community leaders and stakeholders to develop innovative programs tailored to the needs of Bradford West Gwillimbury residents, and continuously seeking feedback and input from the community to ensure our efforts are effective and impactful.

Inclusive Infrastructure and Planning

As a proponent of inclusivity and accessibility, I am deeply committed to ensuring that all members of our community have equal access to essential facilities and services. In collaboration with residents, disability advocacy groups, and cultural organizations, I prioritize the design and development of infrastructure that caters to the diverse needs of our population.

By working closely with stakeholders from various backgrounds, we aim to create spaces that are not only physically accessible but also culturally sensitive and inclusive. This involves considering different perspectives and requirements from the initial planning stages, ensuring that the voices of marginalized communities are heard and incorporated into the decision-making process.

We aim to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment among all residents, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds. By embracing diversity and inclusivity in our infrastructure projects, we can create a more vibrant and resilient community for everyone.

Cheraldean Duhaney

Building Strong Council Relationships

I envision fostering collaboration among council members by prioritizing clear communication, shared goals, and mutual respect. Encouraging open dialogue, setting common objectives, and promoting inclusivity are essential strategies to build strong relationships within the council. By fostering an environment of transparency and cooperation, we can effectively address the needs of our community and work together towards common goals.

Engagement with Constituents

I plan to engage with constituents throughout the year by actively seeking feedback through various channels such as town hall meetings, community forums, and online surveys. Additionally, I will make myself accessible through regular office hours and actively listen to concerns raised via email, phone calls, and social media. By being responsive and attentive to the community’s needs, I aim to ensure that their concerns are heard and carefully considered in the decision-making process.

Advocate for Marginalized Voices – Being a Woman of Rubies

One defining moment that makes me a ‘woman of rubies’ is when I stepped up to advocate for marginalized voices in my community, using my platform to amplify their stories and fight for justice and equality. My unwavering commitment to lifting others up, regardless of the challenges I face, showcases my strength and resilience as a leader. I believe in the power of solidarity and collective action to create positive change, and I will continue to stand firm in my convictions to make a difference in the lives of those around me.

 

In the world of Agile project management, the role of a Scrum Master is highly valued for driving successful team collaboration and project delivery. While some may assume that a strong technical background is a prerequisite for becoming a Scrum Master, that is not necessarily the case.
