Akronite of the Week

Meet Jeanine Black

Your Instagram host for the week of July 20, 2025

Jeanine Black, the Everyday Akron host for the week of  July 20, 2025.

Meet Jeanine:

My family has lived in and around Akron for four generations and I’ve been an Akron resident, myself, for 10. My entire 20 year-plus career has been in Akron and I can’t imagine it happening anywhere else. I’m the Development and Communications Officer at Greenleaf Family Center. I love the history, the people, the connections – new and old – and the myriad of stories we’ve heard and still have yet to hear. I’m a storyteller at heart and Akron has provided me with so much in my life, I love to give a little back where I can, through volunteering, civic action, and through my work, primarily with local nonprofit organizations.
