#039: What stories about our history and culture do you know? Are you telling them to your children? The African American history and culture is so rich and represents our resilience and the strides we’ve made to be where we are today.  In this episode of Beyond the Culture, Dr. David M. Walker speaks with Juanita B. Johnson, the Sankofa griot of our time. Her attraction to the concept of positive audacity began in childhood as she listened to fascinating dinner-table stories which featured the achievements of African-American luminaries, change agents, and historical personalities. She currently facilitates the Sankofa Chronicles, a web-based edutainment platform that instills pride and self-confidence in children through its focus on character-building African American history and culture. She talks about her love for storytelling, especially that of our people which she developed in childhood. Listen in to hear stories of some of the heroic black people from the early 20th century that you don’t hear in mainstream media. You will also learn the importance of passing through our history to young people to keep it alive.  “Let us take the wisdom from the past and tell the stories of the past so that our children can have something to hold on to when we’re not there anymore.”- Juanita [35:20]What you will learn in this episode: ·       [3:10] Juanita describes the ideal childhood her parents gave her and the lessons she’s learned over the years.·       [6:22] She explains her educational and traditional American experiences as a black child in the 1960s. ·       [10:15] The heroic story of Dorie Miller and how it changed Juanita’s perspective about blacks in the military.·       [13:10] The meaning of Sankofa griot- taking the values, wisdom, and lessons of the past and sharing them to move society forward. ·       [15:34] The common myths of African Americans about our history plus the many negative stereotypes.·       [22:53] Why she wrote her book The Audacity Code to shares stories of people who achieved personal fulfillment when black people only existed.·       [27:10] She narrates the story of Lina Richard who rose from a housekeeper to a cooking show in the 50s when it was unheard of a black person.·       [34:21] Juanita advises our community to teach our children stories of the past as a reference to when we’re no longer here.  Relevant Links:Website: https://juanitabjohnson.com/ Book: The Audacity Code: Coloring in Black Outside the Lines by Juanita B.

The Audacious History of African Americans with Juanita B. Johnson

Juanita B. Johnson is the Sankofa griot of our time. Her attraction to the concept of positive audacity began in childhood as she listened to fascinating dinner-table stories which featured the achievements of African-American luminaries, change agents, and historical personalities. Those stories continue to serve as her North Star of fearlessness. Juanita is an honor graduate of Dillard University and holds an MBA from The Ohio State University. Currently, she facilitates the Sankofa Chronicles, a web-based edutainment platform that instills pride and self-confidence in children through its focus on character-building African American history and culture.Living beyond the boundaries of prescribed inferiority requires an attitude of audacity and a determined code of conduct. Still, some African-Americans defy societal limitations and built lives of achievement by coloring outside the lines.The Audacity Code shines a spotlight on 13 of these disruptors including:– The little known African-American car manufacturer – The visionary African-American farmer who turned ninety cents into an agricultural empire– The pioneering African-American television chef and food ambassadorNow for the first time, the foundational principles employed by these and other mavericks to do well for themselves and the world are revealed in The Audacity Code.Learn more: https://juanitabjohnson.com/Source: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/juanita-b-johnson-the-audacity-code-coloring-in-black-outside-the-lines

JUANITA B. JOHNSON: The Audacity Code — Coloring in Black Outside the Lines

The thing about white privilege is that white people don’t see it.  “White privilege” doesn’t mean your life hasn’t been hard, it simply means that your skin color isn’t one of the things making it harder.This series is meant to share experiences of real people who have experienced racism and still experience it. The goal is to shine a light so that we ALL see it and take actionable steps to do something about it.    Juanita B. Johnson serves others through the celebration of unrecognized African American achievement. As a sought-after storyteller, Juanita brings the power and strength of Black history to life through fascinating and inspirational biographies. Unlike traditional history presentations which rely on dry facts and dates, Juanita introduces audiences to the dilemmas and dramas faced by those who came before. She also shares how knowledge of the past prepares us to experience success in the present.
