I Feel Them 3 Words Coming...

I’M EXCITED!!! YEAH!!!

That slogan is how Jamar Blackmon who’s also known as J BLACK or THE GOALGETTA starts all of his motivational videos, motivational speaking albums and presentations. People wonder how he’s able to be so EXCITED when he has a wife with Multiple Sclerosis which is an auto immune disease where her body subsequently attacks itself. Not to mention being a father with not one but two kids with autism who are non verbal! They are 11 and 7, the doctor said it’s a big chance they will never speak. As a behavior health specialist he deals with youth with mental and physical challenges.

There’s a saying, tough times don’t last but tough people do. Jamar was raised in the inner city by a single mother surrounded by drugs and violence. He saw his father twice. Once when he was 9 and once at 27. At 9 he was alive and at 27 for his funeral. Jamar struggled as a youth and young adult. He’s overcome academic challenges, drug and alcohol abuse and depression. He believes that pain brings purpose and purpose change lives. He’s on a mission to change the world! The best is yet to come and SUCCESS IS THE ONLY OPTION!!
