Now finally on a journey of showing the music that i want to show, that ive written, you know, built throughout the years. Juju this is a whole new like a fresh start for you . Yes, yeah. Its funny. That is the main thing that i write about right now, because its the most emotion that has not been settled yet for me. Juju the celebrated young classical singer is sharing a new side of herself. I cannot guarantee that i will stick around dont ask me to kill you juju the 24yearold releasing her first pop ep sola, a far cry from the age of 10 on americas got talent. Juju her new project emerging after jackie took time during the pandemic to reevaluate her life. You talk about behind my eyes. You say its a song that exemplifies this idea of losing it. If you could see behind my eyes youd see the truth that disguised the lies if you read between the lines youd see im running juju what feelings are you trying to communicate . Its difficult to describe. I remember when i first wrote it, i was in nashville. And i was in a little hotel room. And i was by myself. And i was incredibly lonely. Stircrazy. And exhausted. I think i was trying to put to words that feeling of feeling like im going crazy. Juju as a child star, jackie says the pressure of growing up in front of the world took a toll on her alreadyfragile Mental Health. I was always a very anxious kid. A very nervous kid. Juju yet here you are singing in front of millions of people, right . Thats the funny thing. Thats how i know im supposed to be. Because thats when im not anxious. You get the initial nerves, but then im on top of the world. I feel like just by singing and speaking, that is my form of being in control. Juju why pop . Because so many obviously everyone fell in love with you. Right, right. Juju a classical singer. Why pop . Because that is the style that i guess i just naturally started writing. And the funny thing is, its not all pop. Its just whatever it is written as when it comes out. Its whatever the story wants to be. Juju do you have to warm up differently for pop than classical . Yeah, yeah. Juju whats the difference . Classical, you have to engage your palate more. With pop, you have to engage here. Juju can you demonstrate the difference between the palates . Yeah. Softb soft pal aah and the hard palate like ahh juju i met jackie at her childhood home in pittsburgh, one of four siblings. Her sister juliette spoke with us in 2017. Everything has been a competition ever since we were little. Juju i would love an update on juliette. How is juliette doing . How is she faring in the midst of all of this antitransness . She is doing really well. Shes on her own. Shes working and having fun. I think that she livies in a state of fear, and i live in a state of fear for her. Just because of the way the world has been. And theres far too much hate and not enough support. But shes doing well in her world. Juju jackies been well, too. Shes always been open about her ongoing struggles with her Mental Health, including an eating disorder. You talked about your anorexia and the battles that youve spent fighting it. And you spoke really elquestionably about this idea that anorexia is like having another you inside your brain telling you bad things. What did that voice tell you . Lots of things. I mean, we have the basic you look fat. You look terrible. You look so much better here. You definitely shouldnt eat that. You feel better when youre thinner, you know. There was a time i got out of treatment, one of them, and i could feel the weight that i had gained so heavily on my body. I felt like i was being weighed down. Just the feeling of skin to skin, touching my own body, i could not stand. Juju how do you retrain that voice to tell you Something Different . Its really difficult to say, because my journey is still ongoing. Juju its still painful . Yeah. I still struggle a lot. And its up and down. Juju her advice for others struggling . You are worth so much more than what you think you should look like. And you have so much more to offer. Just imagine all that you could be able to give of yourself to the world and not what the eating disorder allows you to give. Juju what jackies offering now is perhaps a truer version of herself. This is kind of your most personal album. Yeah, theres a lot more pressure on myself and anticipation to see how it turns out. Because it is me speaking my truth. Byron our thanks to juju.

What we found a year later was more than we could have imagined that we discovered about the power of the human spirit and peoples capacity for strength, hope, resilience. Byron theres an excerpt you wanted to share . We wanted to tell you how i connected with that community. When i was 13, my father lost his job. We, my parents and two sisters and i, had no choice but to become migrant farm workers. We journeyed north in a caravan with strangers to pick cherries in michigan and ohio. As i drove into uvalde, the spinach and onion fields looked eerily familiar to me. I didnt know it at the time, but i was about to become intertwined within this community. Byron what can america take from this tragedy that has impacted so many communities . First of all, how powerful how there is, you know, light at the end of this very dark tunnel. But also, what can be done to protect our schools. How can Police Agencies be better trained now to avoid this from happening . There were more than 300 Police Officers who responded there. And they waited more than 77 minutes before they stormed in and finally took down the shooter. By the way, none of the Police Officers who responded have been held accountable. Thats what the families are still demanding. Theres something called the guardian initiative, which is a comprehensive plan to overhaul the Uvalde Police department. Those little signs of progress is what we can take away. Byron John Quinones with maria elena salinas. One year in uvalde. Ive known
