OUR DEDICATION

In 2016, our youngest son, Jesse Cole Reader -- left this world at just 22 years old. His absence echoes in every breath, his memory woven into every part of who we are. The grief was immeasurable -- and from it, something sacred began to grow.

Bonafide Wellness was born not only from sorrow, but from a love so deep it needed a place to go -- a purpose, a path, a promise. What began as a memorial for Jesse has become a legacy of healing, carried forward by our family. It is a space where spirit meets strength, where pain transforms into power, and where connection becomes medicine.

We dedicate this work to Jesse -- and to all those we’ve loved and lost. To the ones taken too soon. To those whose stories were cut short by violence, addiction, or despair. And to those whose spirits still walk with us, guiding the way with quiet strength.

This is for our sons, our daughters, our relatives. This is for the children who never got to grow old, and for the Elders whose wisdom now lives in the wind. This is for healing -- for our people, for our families, for all of us.
