A conversation worth the drive home
A powerful conversation on joy, justice, leadership, and the future we must build together. Dr. Arelia Johnson sits down with moderator Sasha Legette for an honest exchange about what it takes to lead, to heal, and to refuse to give up our joy in a time of fear. This is the heart of the evening.

About the Book
Hijacking Equity & The Fight for Justice
A practical guide to language, liberation, and leadership in a time of fear. It is Dr. Johnson's case for taking back the words and the work that have been bent away from the people they were meant to serve. The book you take home that night is your copy of the conversation.
