**Celebrating Women's Leadership: A Conversation with Councillor Ayesha Wilson

As we celebrate Women's History Month, we're highlighting the remarkable women who are shaping the present and future of Cambridge. Today, we're honored to share a conversation with City Councillor Ayesha Wilson, a lifelong Cambridge resident whose journey embodies the spirit of leadership and community service.

Councillor Wilson's story is deeply intertwined with the fabric of Cambridge. A product of Cambridge Public Schools and public housing, she has dedicated her life to serving the city's youth and families. Her path, marked by social work, two terms on the Cambridge School Committee, and now her first term on the Cambridge City Council, is rooted in her lived experiences and a profound commitment to creating a more equitable Cambridge for all.  

In this interview, Councillor Wilson reflects on her upbringing in Cambridge, sharing cherished memories of the Central Square businesses that shaped her childhood. She paints a vivid picture of a neighborhood that fostered her deep sense of community and inspired her dedication to public service.

Beyond her role on the City Council, Councillor Wilson's commitment to service shines through her involvement with the Greater Boston Association of Black Social Workers, the Board of Directors for the YWCA Cambridge, and as Secretary of the Cambridge Branch NAACP. Her dedication to the well-being of the Cambridge community extends far beyond the walls of City Hall.  

We invite you to watch the full interview and be inspired by Councillor Wilson's powerful story of local roots, community leadership, and a vision for a brighter future for Cambridge. [Link to Video]https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHB9Fg-yESL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
