I never had the chance to go to prom. I was incarcerated at 16. While others were making memories, I was learning hard lessons. Today, being part of this event is more than just showing up, it’s about reclaiming a moment I never got to have.

But my story doesn’t end there.

Every day, I work to become a better man and a positive example for others. I wake up determined to make sure the next young person doesn’t make a decision that takes their future away. I want others to experience life as it's meant to be lived, with freedom, growth, and opportunity.

I’m not just asking for your vote because of my past I’m asking because of the man I am today and the change I represent.

Vote for Jean for Prom King. I am a symbol of growth, second chances, and hope.
