My Approach
Dr. Johnson has a nuanced understanding of how individuals, and thus organizations, understand and lack understanding around race and culture. She recognizes that racial dialogues can elicit strong emotions including helplessness, sadness, guilt, and fear. She integrates this knowledge in order to provide empathic and supportive, yet challenging interventions that raise the racial and cultural consciousness of individuals, groups, and organizations.
