ZYHIIER FLEMING
Mentors are important to me because they help you have a role model or someone you can look up to in case you don’t have that figure you need in your life at the time. My experience with mentoring was great because every mentor I had was a real good person, but not only that it was important to me to have another good person in my life to show me the ropes & teach me how life goes.
Mr. Jason Brown was one of my main mentors for years, he saw me grow from a kid to a young man & has helped me in any way he can since then. We played sports together, he helped me with school, we went on trips, etc. Till this day he still checks up on me & would help me if needed & Vice Versa. I appreciate him for being a part of my life & looking after me for all these years.
DAVION "DAVO" RODRIGUEZ
My Name is Davion “Davo” Rodriguez and what mentorship means to me, is someone who helps you reach the goals you want to accomplish in life. Whether that is getting better in a sport, being successful in the classroom, getting a job or any achievement you want to reach.
I had the opportunity of being mentored by Jason Brown "JB" from 7th grade up to now, which led me to being successful and joining programs similar to this one, like Right Moves For Youth. It helped me grow in becoming a better athlete, a better student and a better person. I am grateful to say that JB has been a family member for years now.
GERALDO RODRIGUEZ
I was approached by Jason Brown at a young age regarding a program called "Right Moves For Youth''. The program is designed to help youth and teens develop the skills to succeed in school and life. I am a witness to the success the program has on young men/women. Jason has mentored me since Elementary school and still does till this day. I look forward to seeing the impact J&J Leadership Academy will make in the near future to its community.
MYNEZ NICHOLSON
My name is Mynez Nicholson, and I am proud to share how Mr. Brown’s mentorship has positively shaped my life. Back in 2007, when I was in 4th grade, I joined a program called “Right Moves For Youth,” where Mr. Brown was my mentor. From the very beginning, his encouragement, wisdom, and uplifting spirit stood out to me.
Through his guidance, Mr. Brown taught me the importance of making thoughtful choices and staying true to my values even at a young age. His example showed me what it truly means to be a leader: to lift others up, to face challenges with confidence, and to never lose sight of your purpose.
Looking back now, I realize that mentorship isn’t just about giving advice it’s about believing in someone’s potential, even when they don’t fully see it in themselves. Mr. Brown did exactly that for me, and his impact still resonates in my life today.
The values and lessons I learned through Mr. Brown’s mentorship continue to guide me, and I have no doubt that J&J Leadership Academy will empower many more young people to discover their strengths, make the right moves, and become leaders in their own lives.
DEVRYN GALLOWAY
Mentorship impacted my life from a young age, thankfully, from Mr. Jason Brown. His direction and guidance made me into the leader I am today. Leadership is important to me because I never always had the answers (despite thinking I did). Leadership is crucial in today's world, where a lot of influence comes from a place of negativity. As a community, we owe it to the youth to steer them in the right direction to allow for a better future. Thanks to JB playing a major role in my life early, I was able to start my own business and am currently working on starting my second. Without mentorship, I would not have been able to accomplish the things I have so far in life.
