  • Highlighting Jerome Baker

    For the month of July, I’m highlighting some amazing celebrities I’ve met and the positive things I enjoy about them. We often hear the negative and the drama, but let’s shift the focus to the good stuff!

    Day 31: I had the incredible opportunity to meet Jerome Baker, the linebacker for the Seahawks, and he was really cool and nice! Jerome is not only excelling on the field but also making a big impact off the field. He’s active in the community and opening new businesses, showing his dedication to giving back.

    Jerome used to play for the Miami Dolphins, and it’s fantastic to see him doing big things and enjoying life. Today, I want to give him his flowers and tell him to keep inspiring people through football and mentoring the youth. Keep up the great work, Jerome!
