From backyard flips to America's Got Talent stage 🤸🏾‍♂️✨

We’re proud to spotlight LINK alumnus Jamari, a 2025 DePaul University graduate who recently took his talents to America’s Got Talent with the Jesse White Tumblers.

Jamari’s journey with the Tumblers began more than a decade ago. After not making the team during his first tryout, he spent the next year training, improving, and refusing to give up. His continuous work ethic and persistence shapes everything he does today!

Along with performing, Jamari is entering his fourth year as a Chicago Bulls Elevator performer , coaches flag football at Marist High School, and works as an At-Risk Mentor, helping young people navigate challenges and stay on the path toward graduation.

Jamari believes that success isn’t just about reaching new stages but it’s about using those opportunities to create a path for others.

“Being a LINK alumnus means carrying a responsibility to lift as I climb.” - Jamari Grant

We’re proud to see Jamari continuing to represent what happens when preparation, opportunity, discipline, and purpose come together 💙

Read more about Jamari’s journey in our latest newsletter coming out the end of this month!
