Hi, Im Jarius James, I am a Highschool Graduate from Hialeah Miami Lakes Senior High I graduated with a 3.0 and was also nominated for Student of the Year in my academics in entrepreneurship and Marketing. I'm Majoring in Digital Media and a Minor in Fashion and Merchandising. The Books I like to read are Comedy, Horror, LGBTQ+, and Romance. If I could have everyone read one Book it would be " Dont Make A Mad Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings" even though the Title sounds crazy it talks about relationships and gives us lessons on life and it also tells us how the Character "Madea" was made by Tyler Perry and how she became an inspiration to millions of people because of her Wisdom and tough love for people and her family. I recommend this book to all Teenagers as well because it teaches them to be safe when it comes to sex and how to build a relationship with their Parents if so and how a relationship is supposed to be including marriages, not only does this Book talks about relationships, and life lessons it also give us Tyler Perry fans Background on how the Iconic Character Madea came to life and how she lived her life. I enjoyed it to the max it was everything people love in this Book. Comedy, Romance, adventures, and autobiography. I recommend this book to people who don't know how to deal with life and people who just need a little humor in life. In today's society, we all need a peal of laughter and encouragement and this is the book that will set off life to another level, and that is why I recommend this book for everyone to read.

Hello, My Name is Jarius James I'm 18 Years old I graduated from Hialeah Miami Lakes Senior High As a black LGBTQ male, it's been a journey because when I was younger I was brought up in the church and my grandmother was an evangelist at the time I was always a church boy but as I got older I knew I was gay I just never accepted it so at the age of 16 my sophomore year on January 7th is when I finally decided to take my truth and then I told my mom and my grandmother. And they were disappointed and kept saying that it’s just a phase and that it's not me, and that's not how we raised you, etc… and it hurt me a lot cause they helped me a lot throughout my life, and when I told them it's like my whole life went downhill dramatically and my mental health went out of this world. And it became so bad to the point where I was suicidal and I was in a deep depression. And every time I would try to cope with being who I am my grandmother would find some type of way to ruin my day and happiness and I would feel like she was against me because instead of putting me down by saying these things to me then adding religion to it. It made me feel like I was a disgrace and hurt for years. At the age of 16, I got my first job at Mcdonalds and I brought my first wig, I had my sister install it for me and I took some pictures my mom wasn’t happy and she was so mad the point she told me to find my ride to work so I walked an hour to work and still had to stand. The next day she told me I can’t live there no more because she didn't want me to be that type of influence on my brother so ever since then I’ve lived with my grandmother, which was even harder because all the feminine items I had to put it in my bag waiting for the school bus and once I got on I had to change into my wig, Jewlary, and heels and I’ve done it for 3 years. I plan to enrich the lives of other LGBTQ+ citizens while pursuing my education By being a role model, and showing my community that we can be on the movie screens and that we can be successful, I want to be the third Black African American Male that represents the LGBTQIA+ community proudly and unapologetic, the first one the Icon & legendary Mother Ru also known as RuPaul, the Queen of drag and presentation of style the Mother of all Fashion, the second Person Todrick Hall, the man who treats his fans like his children, the icon who writes his songs to help our community cope with acceptance, Breakups, and loving our self, showing us what confidence looks like. I will Utilize my success to help others in the LGBTQ community by going to different events and giving them advice on how to become successful and how to be true to ourselves because in our community we are all we have, nobody knows our pain but us, and no one knows our struggle and its good to stand out and be you.
