I come from a very big family including 10 kids, raised by a single mother. I am the 7th child born in flint Michigan, moved to Fort Wayne . As a child I played every sport including tackle football and baseball. Basketball was a first love and carried me through a lot of tough times though my life. My family grew up raising Pitt bulls and now I have 2 of my own. Other than that I have a lot of passions, like helping people in need with clothing and food. I currently have a big puzzle addiction and binge watching shows in 2 days. My real name is Johnea but I go by Nae to make it easier because people can’t pronounce it. I’m excited to work with brands that value my resilience, community impact, and the journey behind an athlete.
