The world knows of LeBron James, the kid from Akron who put his hometown on the map. But that journey was anything but easy. No one knows this better than the woman who sacrificed and worked hard to make it possible – Ms. Gloria James. For the first time, Mama James is lending her voice and their story of struggle growing up in Akron to help shed a light on widespread hunger and other challenges too many children and families face in communities across the country.
Through the support of friends, family, and the entire community, LeBron and Gloria got everything they needed to make it to a brighter future. But for many, that often is not the case.
