A MOTHER'S PROMISE

Never in 18 years did I imagine that my son, Jawuan “JuJu” Booker, would die by suicide. If someone had told me that this would become part of my story, I would have never believed it. Since that heartbreaking day, I made a promise;

I WILL NEVER STOP SAYING HIS NAME

I WILL NEVER STOP SHARING HIS STORY. AND

I WILL NEVER STOP WORKING TO CREATE HOPE FOR OTHERS.

Through my grief and my willingness to share my journey, I have learned something I never fully understood before that Suicide has touched far too many families. Behind every statistic is a person, A name, A smile, A dream, and a family whose life has been changed forever.

Run for healing. Run for hope. Run for JuJu.
