From his humble beginnings in St. James to becoming a global sprinting icon, Yohan shares how his journey has evolved from chasing medals to changing lives. His foundation has already adopted several children’s homes — including Mount Olivet Boys’ Home, Pringle Home, and Garland Hall Memorial — with plans to expand even further.
