My Name is Jackson Hayes AKA “Mr. 2 Live.” I can honestly say that ITF changes lives. I say this because it changed my life! I attended the very first ITF over 12 years ago! I was still in middle school and came with a group of my homies from school and church. It was very live even back then. Later, I went to college and that’s when Life Hit Me. I was faced with so many distractions and temptations. Before college, I was sheltered and now looking back, I know I wasn’t prepared. I eventually left college early and returned home defeated, embarrassed, and confused. When I got back home Dennis kept inviting to come to ITF. At first, I didn’t want to come, I just wanted to go out and have fun with my friends. I started coming and was asked to dance, then i was asked to choreograph. I thought dancing was fun but now I know it’s apart of my purpose for being on this earth!
ITF allowed me the opportunity to share my story with kids, to grow as a dancer and leader, and has blessed me with some amazing life-long friends. I am forever inspired. Can I Get a ITF?!
