PROGRAM
JOJO MURDOCK and Prez Berto
JoJo Murdock shared her upbringing as a Foster Kid. She was one of three children borne to a single mother, suffering long periods of homelessness, lack of food and care. She and her siblings found themselves in the Foster Care Program, separated into different homes. Despite these adversities, JoJo rose above it all "with a little help from her adopted mother" giving her strength, sense of self-worth, and a belief in herself. She shared her educational successes as a graduate of AHC and UCSB, majoring in Sociology. Jojo was instrumental in developing Awakening Giantz, a program designed to promote leadership development in youth and the breaking of generational trends.
