Ja Rule recently hosted a special brunch in New York City to celebrate Mother’s Day with formerly incarcerated mothers.
Teaming up with influential organizations like REFORM Alliance, Ladies of Hope Ministries, and Ivi Shano, co-founder of Sei Less Restaurant, Ja Rule orchestrated a heartwarming event. The initiative aimed to uplift 40 mothers and their children, who have been deeply impacted by the criminal justice system, through a shared meal and personal interactions with the “Always on Time” hitmaker. While having a meal, Ja Rule shared his inspiration to create a song dedicated to his mother.
Ja Rule served two years in prison for failure to file taxes and criminal possession of a weapon. He was sentenced in 2011 and released in 2013.
Families enjoyed a delicious meal, including Beijing chicken, filet mignon with broccoli, chicken satays, rock shrimp tempura, chicken wontons, veggie lo mein, and more.
Ladies of Hope Ministries helps women after prison, while REFORM works to fix criminal justice inconsistencies, especially those involving minorities. REFORM Alliance has named Wallo267, a former convict who turned his life around to become a motivational speaker and host, as its new Chief Marketing Officer.
Ja Rule will perform at the Masters of Ceremony on June 29 at the Barclay’s Center. The lineup includes DaBaby, Jim Jones, Ghostface Killah, The Lox, and many more.
