Arlington Committee of 100

Taylor Blunt

Taylor has lived in Arlington since 2011 after joining the fire department. In the ten years since, he has been an active member of the community by participating in charity events and advocating for sensible affordable housing measures. Aside from being a firefighter/paramedic, Taylor enjoys roasting coffee, playing with his bernedoodle Rye and traveling with his wife Kristin.

Wilma Jones

Wilma is a top performing corporate information technology sales director during the day and is president of her own management consulting firm, Wilma J, LLC where she works with organizations to support development of a healthy and engaged staff. She is also a popular keynote speaker and workshop leader. Wilma is an author of three self-published books, a grant consultant, civic activist, and nonprofit board member. In her volunteer activity she works with organizations supporting underserved communities to impact positive change.

Wilma’s latest book, My Halls Hill Family: More Than a Neighborhood, is a historic memoir about the segregated Black neighborhood her family has called home for four generations. Her brother, Michael Jones, was one of four 12-year old Black students to integrate public schools in Virginia in 1959. The book tells the history of the neighborhood from its inception in 1866, until the County government, in a display of institutional racism common for the time, closed their neighborhood school in 1966.

Wilma’s latest project is a cable access television show on Arlington Independent Media (ArlingtonMedia.org) which she created, produces, and hosts, UNTOLD: Stories of Black Arlington. Learn more about Wilma at HallsHill.com
