Providing the Right Path The stable center in Jamon’s life is his mother. So much so, he has her name tattooed on his forearm. “It’s been hard as a lady to raise boys and keep them on the straight path,” Kim says of Jamon and his brother, Jamon’te. “It could have easily gone the different direction.” Kim’s tried to ensure the boys have had positive role models in their lives.
