Talk With Tay

When Childhood Meets Grief with Freshmenmg

Tavon Gibbs Season 1 Episode 17

In this episode, I sit down with JB, a 17-year-old artist from St. Louis who shares a deeply moving story of love, loss, and resilience. At just 11 years old, JB lost his father, a moment that forever changed the course of his life. Now, six years later, he bravely opens up on the podcast for the first time, reflecting on the emotional weight of stepping into the role of "man of the house" at such a young age.

JB talks about what it was like growing up alongside his sisters and mother while carrying pain he couldn’t always put into words. From quiet strength to creative expression, this conversation is a powerful reminder that grief doesn’t have an age, but neither does healing.

Tune in as we honor JB’s story and the courage it takes to speak your truth, even when your voice shakes.
