Janiah Miller
Janiah Miller, born and raised in the Greater Cincinnati area, is a recent graduate of Northern Kentucky University. Her major consists of three minors in Political Science, Social Justice, and University Honors, with a focus area in Women and Gender Studies and Public Service. She completed a pragmatic thesis as part of her honors capstone project, which focused on resilience in Black women's educational experiences. Her advocacy has taken many forms: she has provided support to political campaigns and offices, assisted in legislative and constituent support, and built intersectional coalitions within the community. Janiah’s passion for local government started while serving as an intern on Yvette Simpson's mayoral campaign and as an aide in Simpson's City Council office. After this opportunity she worked in Mayor Cranley’s office in constituent services and as a Victory Congressional Intern on the House Appropriations subcommittee of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. She advises Council Member Kearney’s office on all community relations efforts, is a 2020 New Leaders Council Fellow, serves as the Coordinator for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Charter Amendment led by the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition, and is a member of ReNewport’s Education Task Force.
