SERVING COUNTRY AND COMMUNITY
KEEP MY
HOOD GOOD
HONORING JUANITA JONES
Juanita Jones may have begrudgingly entered military service, choosing the United
States Marine Corps, the ‘best branch of service,’ says Jones.
However, Jones marched out of her honorable service with the principles of
accountability, excellence, integrity, and respect.
Serving her country provided her with a deep sense of herself, encouraged her to adopt
a liberating direction for her life, and the drive and compassion to help
others. Juanita turned these attributes into an empowering mission statement for
Keep My Hood Good, (KMHG)

courageous compassion for her community, and her noble efforts to ensure that all our
vulnerable yet valuable youth are empowered for their futures.
