How a housewarming gift turned into a 100-pound family transformation and the reason Juiced it exists.

In 2021, I had just had my son.

The pandemic was on. I couldn’t get the weight off, and I didn’t understand why.

The why was harder to look at. I had an unhealthy relationship with food. It started in childhood. It was generational. I didn’t take it seriously until I watched it start to affect my daughter. The bullying. All of it. I said, no.

A friend gave us a juicer at our housewarming. We started throwing things in. That one decision opened a door. The gym. Ten thousand steps. Being intentional about what we ate and when.

My family lost over 100 pounds together. My daughter is on the volleyball team now. She checks me when I slip. She blows my mind.

I knew this was bigger than my household. Growing up in a Black household, we ate a certain way. Heavy foods. Big breakfasts. It’s instilled. And there aren’t enough people who look like me out here pushing wellness.

That’s why I built Juiced It. That’s why I built the school program. I want the youth to know food is medicine. Before it’s too late.

Real juice. Real impact.
