Our organization's founder, Tramaine, and our organization, Counter Punch Youth Academy, got the opportunity to be highlighted nationally on the Jennifer Hudson show.

Tramaine is turning adversity into impact in the most powerful way. Born with a hearing impairment and raised in an unstable environment, he found confidence and purpose through boxing — and now he’s paying it forward. As the founder of Counter Punch Youth Academy, Tramaine is mentoring over 1,000 students with a simple but life-changing rule: books before boxing. Through tutoring, life skills, and real community support, he’s helping kids grow not just in the gym, but in school and in life. His story is proof that where you start doesn’t define where you lead, and that one person can change everything.
