Jean was a lot, uncensored and uncut depending on the era or relationship that could mean a multitude of things. she was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, entrepreneur, Muslim and a fighter. During her entrepreneurial tenure she was a childcare provider that not only provided care but academic tutelage that thoroughly prepared her children for school.

Her beliefs were founded through her religion and the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. She loved the fellowship at Mosque #6 and had an extensive library of tapes featuring Minister Louis Farrakhan. She was a champion for all things Black and did all that he could to ensure that she spent her time and money supporting Black people long before it was the thing to do.
