Jamar’s Story 
Jamar Root
Jamar is a 24 year old inspirational speaker that began speaking at just nineteen years old after being diagnosed with leukemia after his freshman year of college. Before this happened he always struggled with knowing what he wanted to be when he grew up. From reflecting on his life before his diagnosis, interviewing passionate people, and pursuing his own dreams… he crafted his own philosophy. He believes that one should live a life through their passion to fulfill their greatest potential and purpose. With his unique personality and story, Jamar deeply connects and relates with audiences all across the country.

“I wish I had heard this message when I was 17. Students have to listen to alot of adults but having a young man give such a great message has an amazing impact”
– Eileen Cannistraci,

It was more than inspiring, it was EYE OPENING. I’ve always had trouble knowing what I want to do. But today I learned I have to do what’s best for me and that it’s ok to be a little selfish to be unselfish.
