The Story

Jojo Morris was raised in a strict religious group called the Menonites, which caused him to experience oppression and fear. He felt a strong need for acceptance and struggled with anger and anxiety. At age 14, he had a transformative experience when he gave his heart to Jesus, which made him feel renewed and excited about his faith. He began writing music that inspired others but faced backlash from his family and church leaders. This led to conflict and feelings of being crushed by the very community he wanted to uplift.
