She serves as the president of Alton’s chapter of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) , and she works with several other nonprofits in the community to promote voting and help people get their needs met. “When we talk about racism, empowerment, peace, justice, those are things that really have always resonated with me,” Johnson said. “I’ve always been one to make sure that people feel like they just have a peaceful day and a peaceful environment.
