| Info | Jennifer Daniels, M.D., M.B.A is a graduate of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and the Wharton School of Business. Dr. Daniels grew up on the South Side of Syracuse, New York, which has for years been known for its drug traffic. After completing her education, she returned to the South Side determined to help reclaim the area. Among her many activities, she has built her medical office on a block that had been vacant for 20 years. She also built a home for herself and her three children on three city lots located two blocks from her office, where she and her children cultivate an extensive vegetable garden. As a member of the ReconsiDer: Forum on Drug Policy Speakers Bureau, Dr. Daniels addresses the benefits of ending the drug trade through legalization. She brings to her talks several personal and professional perspectives: that of a parent raising children in the shadow of Drug War violence; that of a neighborhood activist fighting to reclaim property values that have dropped as a result of the Drug War; that of a physician who daily deals with the medical impact of the Drug War, including the relative lethality of illegal drugs compared to controlled and regulated prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Dr. Daniels also addresses the Drug War from the perspective of a business person who understands that prohibition results in the creation of a highly profitable illegal drug market. Dr. Daniels is a member of the volunteer faculty of the State University of New York Health Science Center, and a member of the Mayor's Ethics Committee. She has served on the Medical School Admissions Committee, volunteered at the Homeless Clinic, The West Side Clinic, and served on the Mayor's Women's Task Force. She is the recipient of the 1992 American Medical Women's Association Community Service Award, Community Service Award, the Syracuse Mayor's Outstanding African-American Role Model Award (1993) and the Governor of New York's Woman of Achievement Award (1998). On February 19, 1993, Dr. Daniels was featured in the Wall special issue on Black entrepreneurs.
