Meet Our Team

She is an educator on a mission to restore patriotic learning in our schools. She creates programs, events, and fundraisers that bring veterans, police and history groups such as, Sons of the American Revolution, to the classroom. She also introduced a fun way to learn history by using live portrait technology. Sparking a love for our nations history and building positive relationships between the heros and the youth in her community. She has seen first hand how powerful this program is for sparking patriotism and it gave her the idea to create Light the Spark. 

Devout Christian and daughter of a World War II veteran and a law enforcement officer, she grew up on the amazing stories of courage and triumph. She carries that love for her country today, and strives to continue her fathers legacy, by working hard to preserve our nations history and by advocating for its core values. She has a background in marketing, fundraising, and event planning, which helps to create our amazing events.  Designed to bring community involvement and give back to those who serve.

Her life consists of God, exploring our great America, and being a part of an amazing patriotic family. As a wife of a military veteran, with 28 years of service in the Marine Corps and Air Force Reserve, who still serves as a police officer with 19 years of service, she knows first hand the sacrafices the families have to make. She strives to create a positive image for those who serve and advocates for their respect. Having a 22 year old and a 4 year old she can see the difference in the way the children are taught today, with a major lack of respect and patriotism. It is our mission to restore patriotic learning not only to our schools but in our communities as a whole. 

My name is Jauneil Brooks, an 19-year-old American patriot born and raised in Southern California. My dad was an Air Force veteran, which helped me become an American patriot at a young age. Growing up, I loved the idea of serving my country either as a first responder or in the Military. I learned to value our flag and our freedoms. 

After the December 2, 2015, mass shooting in San Bernardino, I grew a solid passion for showing support to my local first responders and law-enforcement agencies. I started doing the first responder runs, giving out donuts, and I pledged to shake every law-enforcement officer’s hand to thank them.

Two major life-changing incidents happened in which I grew a stronger heart for law enforcement. After my dad passed, a sheriff deputy from Highland Police Department gave my family and me a long bear hug. I could only imagine what was going through his head; I still do. Tragically my mom passed; thankfully, law enforcement brought my mom’s killer to justice. 

Growing up, I learned to love and respect our American history. I grew attached to learning about laws and our rights, and what is right and wrong. I was pushed down for my Patriotism throughout middle school and high school, even by my own family. 

After my father’s passing, I entered foster care, and within two years of being with my first foster family, they would later kick me to the curb. My foster mother told me we would never see eye to eye. I entered a group home in Moreno Valley, California, where I was at my lowest. They called the sheriff on me for flying the American flag on 9/11. This Christmas, I ran away to a military cemetery called ‘March Air Force.’ I walked with a giant American flag to the cemetery, and I said thank you to those who can’t be with us this Christmas; freedom is never free.

A lady from Redlands, California, invited me to tagalong to Arizona to cover and document ‘The Peoples Convoy.’ I packed a bag with one pair of jeans, two shirts, and one hoodie. I picked up my camera, and I fell in love with the movement. I fell in love with the Patriotism, the journey, and the pride in our country. A gentleman asked me if I would like to ride with him to DC. I checked my bank account at $3000 and said yes! I have never felt more welcome, even after getting rejected earlier to ride shotgun with a different trucker from California to DC. 

Little did I know my life would be forever changed by covering the Convoy on TikTok. I drew 8000 followers within a week of coverage. I eventually got banned from TikTok. I started to make more friends and memories along the way with the Convoy, but then I met my second buddy, with whom I also started hitchhiking. 

While getting fuel at a gas station, watching the national guard load up, a gentleman came up to me and said, “Can you come to sit with us in the US Capitol to meet with the Senators tomorrow morning?” I said, “yes.” 

I missed the bus the following day, but a good Samaritan from the Convoy helped me catch up to the bus; He said, “go show them who’s boss. “ 

An hour later, I’m sitting next to Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Johnson in the US Capitol. Moments later, I was handed a flag carried by an American soldier while on his tour in Afghanistan. I passed the flag to the co-founder of the People’s Convoy. Little did I know, after I told my story, he would hand the flag back to me. 

A few minutes later, a liberal news reporter tried to make the People’s Convoy sound far from what it was really about. As I sat listening to him for about 10 minutes, I finally stood up and told him you have the word PRESS written on your shirt; that is covered in the Constitution, the first amendment. He tried cutting me off multiple times, but I stood my ground and told him to be quiet and listen. All we’re doing is practicing the same, the freedom of speech every day. We look out for each other big or small, so let us be who we are and protest peacefully. 

Hundreds and thousands of Americans were crying while they watched at that point. Little did I know, there were hundreds and thousands of people watching. I didn’t think I would become a voice for people worldwide. 

My mission is to let freedom ring! I am fighting for the freedom of minorities in America, the Patriots in general. We shouldn’t feel trapped about spreading Patriotism. We should be Free Americans no matter where we live.

Freedom lies in being bold! Brooklyn may only be 17, but she is an all-American girl with bold ambitions. She has an incredible passion for history and cares deeply for our veterans. She loves how their stories tell historic lessons from the past. She believes a veteran represents the ultimate sacrifice. As youth ambassador, she spends most of her time teaching others that our freedom did not come free.
