  • Jairus Morris of SUPLMNT

    Jairus Morris is on a mission to educate the urban community on the importance of water. As a kid, Jairus knew friends that would play basketball for hours and and look to soda or juice to hydrate themselves. After becoming an adult, he found himself looking for a reusable water bottle but none of them spoke to him and that's when he realized that the reusable water bottle space only spoke to a select few. Through SUPLMNT, Jairus is showing that everyone deserves a seat at the table and educates the next generation on the importance of clean water.
