Kimberley Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, community activist, change agent, and mother who works toward making equitable changes for Brookline’s most underserved communities. She serves as a Commissioner of the Brookline Housing Authority, an elected Town Meeting Member, and on various boards and commissions, bringing her voice and lived experience to ensure that the BIPOC community has meaningful representation and a seat at the table.

Kimberley began her activist work with Brookline for Racial Justice and Equity (BRJE), which ignited her commitment to community advocacy. Much of her focus has been on the Brookline Housing Authority community, home to many of the town’s most marginalized residents. While raising her family, Kimberley earned both her Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and her Master’s in Social Work, and went on to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Her work is grounded in the belief that strong communities are built when every voice is heard and valued. With a political voice shaped by lived experience, professional expertise, and a deep commitment to justice, Kimberley continues to push for systemic change and to create opportunities for women and families—particularly women of color—to thrive, lead, and transform their communities.
