Background

Usher founded the Usher's New Look in 1999, with the help of his mother, Jonetta Patton. The foundation was set up in order to reach under-served youth. A then 19-year-old Usher and his mother sat in the back of an Atlanta courtroom, listening to juvenile court hearings. Listening to the stories, together they were inspired and wanted to give opportunities to children by giving them a new outlook on life.[5]
