“Life hasn’t been easy for me,” shares Johnson, “At the age of nine I lost my parents that in a highly publicized murder-suicide. I know what it feels like to be invisible. Leading efforts to serve our homeless population is my way of saying, ‘I understand’; it’s a great honor and privilege to be part of such a community effort.”
Changing Southwest Development Corporation is an organization committed to develop, strengthen and implement strategies and resources that encourage and support economic revitalization, and provide social services enhancement for the Southwest Atlanta community. “I believe that beauty lies within us all. Sometimes the pain, the struggle, and the lack of confidence can get in the way, and I hope to be able to lift up the spirits of my fellow man and woman.”
