Ikenga Ogbo has led a dynamic career in the city of Evanston, Illinois, where he currently serves as the Director of the Health and Human Services Department. Stepping into this role mere months before the COVID-19 pandemic took full force, Ikenga was unaware of the future roadblocks he would face in his first year. However, he handled each rising challenge with an attitude of innovation, devising ways to keep his community safe despite valid health threats. With communities seeing an end to this struggle, Ikenga is now focusing even more attention on a program he began titled “My City, Your City, Our City,” which provides summer activities to the youth who are struggling post-pandemic.
