My parents grew up in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio where they were robbed at gun point and experienced many things as kids and young adults. When they started our family, they wanted a better life for me and my 3 sisters so between them and my two grandmothers, they have sacrificed to give us a better life in a safe environment.
My grandparents were from the south, Franklinton, Louisiana and Memphis,Tennessee. Both my grandfathers passed away, but they left a family legacy for us along with my Uncle Ted Ginn Sr. I was taught hard work laying asphalt by my dad and his father and before I was even born, my mom promised her dad I would be his namesake. That's why they call me CJ.
I'm focused, hungry and thirsty to achieve my goals using the gifts that God has blessed me with in order to sacrifice for my family like they have sacrificed for me. I want to add to my family's legacy by putting respect on both my grandfather's names by giving back to the communities where my families were raised with the blessings God gives me.
