Javonte Rosello is the founder and CEO of the anti-bullying and young people's empowerment movement "I'm Here".  Author of the upcoming biography I'm Here: The Story of Javonte Rosello, model, and actor; Javonte is a multi-faceted professional who works to incorporate his talents to empower people world-wide.

Javonte's life has taken many turns.  Growing up, he was bullied about his looks, his style, and his overall demeanor.  Where some young people find respite at home, that was not the case with Javonte:  he had a very difficult relationship with his mother that led to his being homeless at 15.  Since the age of 16, Javonte has worked to support himself and in spite of the enormity of his circumstances, graduated from high school six months early at 17.  A very grateful and humble person, Javonte credits his success to the warmth of good friends and his faith.  "I knew God was with me, and I vowed to never give up because I knew He heard - and hears - my prayers." 

While working as a banker with Bank of America, Javonte focused his attention to refining his acting and modeling skills, which has led to prime shoots with designers Amber Rose and Danny Miami.  He utilized social media to promote his profile, and started a blog detailing his life's challenges.   Young people from all over the world reached out, asking Javonte how he maintained such a positive outlook on life after being bullied and abandoned.  Javonte responded to each message, giving hope and inspiration to keep pushing forward, that life really would get better.  And he always ended each message saying that he was there for them.  That message - "I'm here" - resonated within Javonte so strongly that he knew what he had to do:  build the organization and infrastructure to bring more people into the fold, to let them know they were not alone, and that there were many people who were there for them.  That was the birth of "I'm Here" anti-bullying and youth empowerment movement. 

"I'm Here" has garnered support across the USA, and soon it will be international.  Recently featured in the March issue of BOLD Favor Magazine, "I'm Here" is growing in influence due to the simplicity of its powerful message and the stylish apparel bearing the brand, available here.
