One Young Man’s Success Story

SonRise Project creator Kelli Richardson Lawson introduces Tamiko Ruby J and her son Quinton. Tamiko is a Reiki master and spiritual teacher. She shares her healing journey as a single mom living in Cleveland and raising a son with addiction issues. Quinton shares his own journey of recovery. As a child, he struggled with grief and the loss of both his biological father and later his stepfather. Though he was a successful athlete in high school, he turned to drugs and alcohol to help him escape. Through the ups and downs of college and young adulthood, he and Tamiko found a way to communicate. Eventually they found recovery, healing and wholeness. Today, Quinton is a successful engineer working in the corporate world. He also mentors young men helping them achieve their goals.
