Tubbs' mom found out about a program called International Baccalaureate after she asked her supervisor at work where their kids went.

She utilized the program buy a house in South Stockton when Tubbs was a teenager. Tubbs currently attends a largely Black, non-denominational Christian church, and attending a similar church growing up gave him a sense of morality and community.
