As mentioned earlier, Joju was only a year younger than her brother, Ahmad Maceo. Therefore, they almost grew together, although Joju’s passport says her birthplace as North Korea and Maceo’s; Algeria.
Since the Cleaver family prioritized education, Joju’s brother also graduated from Cornell University. He worked on a research project on the effects of environmental and stress on black youths in Atlanta.
Unfortunately, Joju Cleaver’s brother, Ahmad, died of a heart attack in October 2018. He was reportedly counting days to leave Saudi Arabia to return to his mother & sister but died in Taif.
Joju is not new to lose in her life as her father, Eldridge Cleaver, died on May 1, 1998, at age 62 in California.
Kathleen Cleaver’s daughter, Joju Younghi Cleaver, is living in Atlanta with her mother & children. Although she prefers complete confidentiality regarding her family and whereabouts, let’s hope to hear more of her in the coming days.
