Jussie Smollett Teams Up with Jenesse Domestic Violence Center and the Black AIDS Institute for Covid19 Resources

*The Jenesse Center & the Black Aids Institute have partnered with activist, actor and singer, Jussie Smollett to help those who have been significantly impacted during the Covid-19 Pandemic. 

With the surge of domestic violence cases rising during the coronavirus pandemic, and hearing from a friend of the influx of new emergency relief cases Jenesse has had to manage in the past few weeks, Jussie sprang into action by donating funds that will go towards welcome packets/bags for the shelter’s new families and began to mobilize his network to provide resources for the center that provides emergency housing for women and their children escaping the grip of domestic violence.

He will also be meeting with Jenesse’s teen efforts to help produce their annual Jeneration J Raise Your Voice for Peace singing competition which will now be a digital showcase due to vovid19 safety concerns.

Smollett, a longtime supporter of the Black AIDS Institute, will continue his goals to donate personal funds and resources while raising awareness to an organization that boldly gives back to the community they serve without wavering in times of crisis.
