Getting to know more about Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb: Talking with his mom, Charlene

As we head into Mother’s Day weekend, we have been interviewing the moms of Northeast Ohio’s biggest names -- including Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb.

3News’ Danita Harris had the chance to sit down with his mom, Charlene Nichols Bibb, to learn more about our city’s leader.

Justin Bibb is the 58th mayor of Cleveland, a man who carries the responsibility of keeping the city safe and providing quality services to residents and their communities. While we’ve learned about his mission as a leader, we wanted to know more about what he was like as a little boy.

“He was curious,” Charlene tells 3News. “He wanted to do everything. Just stay busy, always questioning, ‘Well, why is this so? Why is that?’ And the dialogue, it wasn't the normal dialogue that you would have with a 7-year-old or 5-year-old. He was an old soul.”

When Mayor Bibb was on the campaign trail, you would see his mom, too, as they are both very close.

“We’re a team and we’ve always been a team,” Charlene says. “We're very engaging. We hold each other accountable. We cherish our times together.”
