“So the Love Juice is a company…we are promoting, like,
to make Chicago healthier. And not like, have all this fried

“I always come to help by working the cashier, or helping the
young employees ‘cause they don’t know that much. I also

Jada’s grabbing onto every opportunity that life has to offer.
Recently she was awarded a $2,500 grant by Challenged
Athletes Foundation to participate in the sport of her choice.
So, what’s a 10-year-old daredevil going to do with a chance
like that? “I’m gonna go skiing at a cold place.”
Jada may only be 10 years old, but she already knows who
she is and what she’s capable of. Despite her disability,
she is an audacious young girl who is ready to grab every
opportunity that life has to offer. Jada is an inspiration to us
all, reminding us that we should never give up and always
take a chance on ourselves.
We all have something to learn from Jada.
