Khadeen Ellis and her son, Jackson Karter, are showing that giving back can be a family affair. ❤️
The actress, podcaster and entrepreneur recently shared a glimpse of a special mother-son community service day with Jackson, explaining that serving their community feels even more meaningful when they can do it together.
In a post shared on Instagram on September 16, Ellis tagged her son and wrote about how grateful she is to be raising a young man who understands the importance of “compassion and purpose.”
Khadeen Ellis and Jackson Karter Give Back
According to Ellis, she and Jackson spent the day helping refresh the hallways of housing operated by a nonprofit organization that supports men overcoming drug and alcohol addiction. The mother-son team got hands-on with the project, helping give the living space a fresh look.
Rather than simply donating money, the pair spent time physically serving the community together.
Ellis described the experience as “a little mother-son time” combined with a larger purpose, encouraging her followers to find causes they care about and lend a helping hand.
A Lesson in Compassion
For Ellis, the experience was about more than painting and improving a building.
Her message focused on teaching Jackson the value of showing up for other people and understanding that even a small amount of time can make a difference.
Recovery housing can play an important role in helping people rebuilding their lives after substance use. Programs around the country combine stable housing with support services, recognizing that having a safe and stable place to live can be an important part of the recovery process.
Ellis’ post offered followers a glimpse into how she’s passing those values down to her son.
Fans Get a Glimpse of Their Mother-Son Bond
The post also gave fans a look at the close bond between Ellis and Jackson.
Instead of a typical celebrity outing, the pair chose to spend time together doing something centered around service and community.
Ellis ended her message with a simple call to action: find a cause, bring someone you love and lend a hand.
And judging from the message, that’s exactly the lesson she wants Jackson to carry with him.
A mother, a son and a day spent giving back. 💙
