A lot of people thought Jayson Tatum’s mom was his sister, but alas she is just a very beautiful black woman.
Besides being beautiful, she seems like an amazing person.
In April 2016, Tatum wrote about his relationship with his mom for the Players’ Tribune. He wrote that his mother had him when she was just 19 years old, but she refused to drop out of college. She even took her young son with her to classes when she couldn’t afford a babysitter or his grandmother was working.
“By the time I got to sixth grade, my mom had gotten her bachelor’s and law degrees from St. Louis University,” Tatum wrote. Although he vividly remembers her law school graduation, he wrote that the importance of her sacrifices didn’t really hit him until he was accepted by Duke.
Tatum wrote that his mother was a major influence on his life, helping him with homework, inspiring him to do volunteer work and shaped him to be a better person off the court.
