JT Houston’s Story Born to a very young single mother in Syracuse New York, we had many stats against us. However, thanks to my mother’s dedication, hard work and grit - we made it by. Even with a difficult childhood, one devastating tragedy changed my life forever. I lost my brother to suicide. I was not aware of the extent of his mental health challenges and, I wish I’d been there for him even more during this time. Since losing my brother, I’ve dedicated my life to being a positive light in the lives of our community's youth. I’ve fostered the Spread Love kids' program, as well as H2FITNESS. Today, I am the CEO & Founder of the umbrella brand Spread Love, where we focus on mental and physical health through positivity, fitness and nutrition. Every day you will find me on my social platforms spreading love and positivity to as many individuals as I can because you never know the impact a smile can have. I like to remind people every day that you must make sure the love you give is to yourself first because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Always remember to “Dream big, work hard, enjoy life and spread love.” For a bright light on your social feed, follow JT (IG: @mrspreadlove1; Facebook: JT Houston) and to work out with JT, check out H2Fitness’ website (http://h2fitness.net/).
