Speaker | Author | Counselor

DeAntwann "Dj" Johnson is a husband, father, author, mentor, coach, counselor, and sports statistician. 

He grew up in the Indiana foster care system and yet, despite that, has gone on to lead a successful and fulfilling life. Before spending nine years in the foster care system, DJ suffered child abuse, domestic abuse, and emotional trauma. At one point, he wanted to end his life, but he realized that he was on this earth for a purpose. 

It wasn't an easy road, but DJ was fortunate enough to have several people throughout his life who inspired him to do great things, despite everything that he had been through. 

He worked hard to overcome a life full of hardships, humiliation, aggression, and self-esteem issues, allowing him to be an active advocate for youth.

DJ is a compassionate man who has a special place in his heart to uplift and inspire students to be the best they can be.
