Jamie’s entire life has been centered around a single word: perseverance. Growing and learning in order to withstand adversity in her life has been instilled since the beginning of her existence. At just ten days old, she was abandoned by her mother due to her crippling cocaine addiction. There was no effort made to stay in contact with Jamie, and there is no known information about her father.
”I've learned of the virtue courage, truth and persevering through a fight. Also, I've learned as well the need for a moral, ethical and supportive community to be part of and be involved with.

'The Miracle'
The difficulties didn’t end there, though. In fact, they continued well throughout her adolescence. Through the age of 6, Jamie suffered starvation and physical torture while in foster care, until she was finally released due to her care-giver’s carelessness and infliction of a broken arm, which Jamie reported to the police. Her report allowed 12 other children to be freed from that foster home, but did keep them imprisoned within the courts system until the age of 18. After a series of moves across California and the growth of a support team surrounding Jamie, she considered herself the winner of her first real fight, realized she can never lose after overcoming such adversity, and the rest is history.
