Bio

👨🏾‍🎓Lawyer. Founder of James Jones Gymnastics Academy 🤸🏾the only all Black boys competitive gymnastics team in Georgia.

💢Our story💢 In January 2019, I was burned out from practicing law. I asked myself “what do I really want to do?” Immediately, “coach Olympic level boys gymnastics” came to mind. I was a gymnast as a boy so the thought was welcomed.

One day in February, I was leaving the office. 🚗🚙🚚🚐Traffic was heavy, so I turned left instead of the usual right and a few feet from my office there was a recreation gymnastics club. 😮 I’d never seen it before that day.

I started volunteer coaching there and I discovered a group of 6 to 8-year-olds 🧑🏽‍🦲👨🏾‍🦲👩🏾‍🦲who had promise, but their promise was being neglected by the rec center’s coaching staff. I asked the rec center if I could form a boys team. They said no 😑.

So, I set out on my own to open an affordable gymnastics program that focused on getting black boys into competition.

Fast forward a year later, I run my own gym and those boys from the old rec center make up my all black competitive 🤸🏿‍♂️ Gymnastics team, along with a few other boys who’ve joined us along the way.

Our gymnastics program is reduced cost and many of the boys attend on scholarships that are provided by our wonderful social media community, particularly the amazing people who follow our gym thread on twitter.
