Episode 69: Redefining Black Fatherhood with DeAntwann “DJ” Johnson

In this episode, Trina speaks with DeAntwann “DJ” Johnson, a husband, father, author, mentor, coach, counselor, and sports statistician, 3x champion body builder. 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, inspite of everything that he had been through. Now he works as a “traveling counselor” providing services counseling, workshops, and more for schools, youth, and parents. Resources:
