Julius "J.U" Jones is a Keynote Speaker, Announcer, and Nonprofit Management Administrator whose career spans over a decade and a half. Known for his short stature and bigger-than-life speaking voice, J.U is a mission-driven HBCU graduate (North Carolina Central University) who dedicated his life to helping people own their lives through self-love, self-acceptance, and growth mindset teachings. 

From hosting a myriad of Pan-Hellenic step shows, moderating community talks, and motivating parents and students through information sessions about education and life, J.U attributes his successes to Upward Bound, a federally funded educational program that helps low-income first-generation students strive toward the mark of achievement.

J.U is gearing up to relaunch his lifestyle website (www.jujones.com) in 2023 and notably concluded a weekly podcast on the CWF Network entitled jumpSTART, an 8-minute motivational class that ended with over 10,000 listens.
