Juliana’s first son, Keron Raphael, died in the hospital at the age of 11 after a severe asthma attack.

The singer has been open about her struggles in accepting his death and has used her platform to create the Keron Foundation, a charity that helps children in memory of her late son.

The foundation is an inspiration for Keron’s passion – helping children – and it has been a way for Juliana to celebrate his life and keep his memory alive.

In the interview, Juliana shared that she asked her doctor if she could have another child when she had Taj, and the doctor said yes. Her mother also had a child when she was 42, so age is not a major concern for the singer.

However, the trauma of losing her first child made it a challenging decision for her.

Juliana has been candid about her journey to healing after Keron’s death. She took a break from music for a while, focusing on her foundation and allowing herself to break down when she needed to.
