Our Team

Fritz G. DeJOIE, Jr.—Founder and CEO of Saving Our Generation—has become an inspirational figure, using his talents to uplift and transform the lives of countless young people through education and entertainment.

Born and raised in Flatbush, Brooklyn, Mr. DeJOIE was gifted with many talents that he longed to share with the world. However, growing up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood in the late 1980s, opportunities for children of color to pursue their dreams—especially in entertainment—were often limited. Despite his determination and the unwavering support of his loving parents and siblings, Mr. DeJOIE struggled to carve out his place in an environment filled with negative influences.

Repeated attempts to establish himself were met with disappointment, and over time, he found himself drawn into the very struggles his family had tried to protect him from. Poor choices led to serious challenges, including multiple school expulsions, extended stays in psychiatric institutions, bullying, and ultimately, incarceration.

It was during his time in prison that Mr. DeJOIE made a pivotal decision—he would use his experiences to create a positive impact on the next generation. With the steadfast support of his family, he dedicated himself to building a platform where underprivileged youth could express themselves, find their voices, and showcase their unique talents. This vision became Saving Our Generation, an organization designed to empower young people, encourage self-expression, and prevent them from feeling silenced, overlooked, or forced into making the same mistakes he once did.

Today, Mr. DeJOIE remains committed to his mission: to help youth embrace their individuality, build confidence, and strive to become the best versions of themselves—on their own terms. His guiding principle is clear:

“Saving our generation is an obligation, not a favor.”
