Luvenia Johnson, LMSW; Spotlight on Leaders

Common Leaders

What Does this Episode Provide to Listeners

In this episode of “Spotlight on Leaders,” we hear some of the most helpful, wide-ranging insights and advice from a true leader in all of the categories (family, community and business).

A 15 year veteran of the Social Work field, Luvenia Johnson, shares some of her own background, hopes and resources. My feelings hit each stop on the spectrum during my time with Luvenia - happiness, anger, sadness, hope… I got them all, and I think you will, too.

In addition to Luvenia’s general human excellence and leadership, Luvenia provides a strong voice for female empowerment, African American cultural taboo topics, mental health advocacy, resource awareness and single provider households. People that are interested in or in need of family or parenting leadership tips, general inspiration, food, or mental health support will get value out of listening to this!

Luvenia, admittedly, overcame odds that were undoubtedly stacked against her. From a household of a single provider who worked 3 jobs, she herself became a mother in high school and experienced deep trauma in her path to the human she is today.

The love of her children kept her church and the support of her community kept Luvenia focused.

Luvenia is currently wrapping-up a very successful and rewarding tenure as an LMSW with Foundation Health Partners, in Fairbanks, Alaska. Her next step is as an entrepreneur and she lets us in on some of what’s next for her!
