Inspired By Strong Women
Juanita Jordan is inspired by “those who have overcome adversity without resentment.” Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Jacqueline Kennedy were suggested. She’s also helped worthy causes. Amo Mama says she and Michael Jordan started a charity fund when they were married. Juanita is on the board of a Chicago nonprofit that aids teen girls. She planned to form a foundation for children’s and arts activities.
Juanita “has been the honorary chairwoman of several charities and cultural events” and “has publicly called for an investigation into the Highland Park Police Department over racial profiling allegations,” but “throughout it all, [she] tried to stay grounded and not be taken in by the Jordan whirlwind and aura.” “I taught them to give back,” Juanita told Crain’s Chicago Business. She modeled kindness for her children. Vanoy seems to be becoming like the woman she admires.
