In Episode 77, we are joined by Brandon Dean Johnson, who has accepted the passing of the torch to be the new CEO of Create Now, founded by our late friend, Jill Gurr. An organization that has used arts to impact the lives of tens of thousands of at-risk youth, Aalia and Johnson discuss the challenges and joyous moments of being their first African American CEO. Discussing Create Now’s focus on educating underprivileged youth, they emphasize the importance of art as we attempt to mitigate the effect of a global pandemic on our most vulnerable children. While talking to Aalia, Johnson drops some real gems that everyone needs to hear! Press PLAY!
