Jaxon Willard: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

At 14 years of age, Cindy Willard had a premonition that one day she would have a black child. Having been told at 18-years-old that she would never be able to bare any children, the premonition made sense. After serving a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Cindy met and married her husband, and their first child was born soon thereafter. Four more children would be born into the family, but after having five children, the problems she had experienced as an 18-year-old resurfaced. She had a hysterectomy, and during recovery, she knew that her family was not complete, and she embarked on a new mission to find the missing member of the family.

~~When~~ Jaxon~~, who~~ began ballroom dancing at age 11. He asked one of his sisters to join school ballroom dancing. After that he got hooked. Later he auditioned with the group ''801Squad'' for the first season of World of Dance, the producers became concerned and contacted Cindy. They wanted to learn more about the racism and bullying that Jaxon had experienced growing up in a predominantly white community in Utah. She denied the request for an interview, believing that it was a matter that she and Jaxon needed to work through privately first. His group ''801Squad'' was soon eliminated.

Then Jaxon decided that he wanted to audition on his own for the show’s next season. Cindy had just one request: “If you try out for the show again, you know where they’re going to want to go with your adoption story. ... So, if that’s where you want to go, let us figure this out first.” Together they worked through the arduous process, and when the producers of World of Dance approached her again about running the story about Jaxon’s experiences, she consented.
