DeAntwann "DJ" Johnson is a multifaceted educator and advocate, devoted husband and father, accomplished author, and the dynamic force behind DJ Inspires, LLC. His credentials extend from being a parenting and youth empowerment coach to a qualified counselor and astute sports statistician.

DJ's narrative resonates deeply within educational environments, making him an invaluable asset to institutions committed to holistic student well-being. DJ's journey is a testament to the transformative power of resilience and mentorship. Navigating a tumultuous upbringing that included nine arduous years in Indiana's foster care system, experiences of child abuse, domestic violence, and emotional trauma, he emerged not as a statistic but as a beacon of hope and empowerment.

DJ's most important role in life is being the best husband and father he can be for his family.

When he is not with his family, he is speaking and helping others. DeAntwann "DJ" Johnson is more than a speaker or a coach; he is a transformative experience waiting to happen. He embodies the promise of what education and mentorship can achieve, illuminating the path from adversity to excellence.

Today DJ serves students and their families to help break generational curses by encouraging them to “Change Their Narrative” a message that empowers young people to take ownership in telling the story they want to tell, not allowing others to tell it for them. We can take control of our narrative,  there is nothing we can’t accomplish.

Born to 16 year old parents, DJ would be faced with unimaginable trauma early on in his life. His dad walked out of his life early on and his mother ultimately married a man who was very abusive. One summer day, DJ’s life changed forever. His brother ended up burning down their family apartment home and that led to months long homelessness. Not even a year later, drug addiction took over his mom and she wasn’t able to keep DJ or his siblings. DJ and his siblings went into the foster care system after that.

DJ'S COMPASSIONATE AND EMPATHETIC APPROACH TO YOUTH EMPOWERMENT MAKES HIM A HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER SPEAKER, MENTOR, AND EDUCATOR IN ACADEMIC SETTINGS.

There was a time when DJ considered ending it all; yet, a transformative realization steered him toward a greater purpose. Guided by mentors who saw the untapped potential within him, he rose above a life replete with challenges, overcoming humiliation, aggression, and self-esteem issues to become a stalwart advocate for youth.

Dr. Benson has a strong Science background with a BSc. in Botany and a BSc. Agriculture. Graduating with a MD degree from the University of British Columbia in Canada in 1988, Dr Benson has gone to work as a GP in not only Canada but also New Zealand and finally Australia. He is the proud father of four grown children.

Having suffered from allergies, Dr. Benson was personally motivated to find the cause of this affliction. Fortunately, his strong science background and ecological training unravel the cause of allergies and also autoimmune diseases. His strength of character has contributed to his success despite the strong opposition he received from some quarters of the medical profession. What Dr. Benson has discovered is a paradigm shift in the way of looking at allergic and autoimmune diseases. His book further explains the cause of these afflictions and goes even further to give the reader helpful direction as to how they too can move away from treating only the symptoms to treating the causes with the hope of a cure.

As is common to people who are ahead of their time, Dr. Benson has experienced opposition. This book is the accumulation of his knowledge and it is because of Dr. Benson’s strong social conscience that is presented here.

Char’s journey is one of resilience and transformation. After overcoming numerous personal and professional challenges—including raising her son as a single mother, enduring a dysfunctional childhood, and providing care for her father, who suffered from ALS, and her mother, who battled Alzheimer’s—Char found herself facing an unexpected trial. Despite a successful 15-year career as a highly respected attorney, Char was forced to retire due to the debilitating effects of four-time recurrent breast cancer and its treatments. As a result, she found her true identity and purpose.

Rather than succumbing to despair, Char used these challenges as a catalyst for growth. She turned her hardships into a mission to inspire others, teaching them how to trust in their strength, have hope, and embrace change. Her transformational message is one of thriving through adversity and embracing life’s transitions with hope, faith, trust, and self-belief.

Today, Char considers her greatest accomplishments not the awards or accolades, but her ability to support and mentor others in reimagining their dreams and living with purpose and joy

Amy is a Green Living Pioneer, Speaker, Author, Trusted Advisor in Holistic and Sustainable Living and Podcaster.

With over 30 years of experience in green living, holistic health, and sustainable practices, she guides eco-conscious, health-focused female entrepreneurs to detox their homes, bodies, and lives—without the overwhelm.

"I didn’t wait for a health crisis to begin detoxing my life—I was raised by a nutrition-savvy mom and a chef stepfather, who also gardened. That early exposure planted the seeds of awareness, but it wasn’t until I was pregnant with my daughter that everything changed. I picked up a book about non-toxic baby care from a health food store and was stunned to learn that many everyday products—shampoos, cleaners, even baby toys—were legally allowed to contain toxic chemicals. That was my wake-up call!

I dove deep into researching food systems, corporate deception, greenwashing, and environmental toxins—and I hasn’t stopped. For over 30 years, I’ve been on a mission to help others detox their food, homes, and lives so they can thrive without relying on pharmaceuticals. But this mission hasn’t come without its challenges."

From a childhood influenced by a nutrition-focused mom and a great aunt who cultivated her own food and made soap, my passion for eco-friendly living was ignited early. Her transformation began upon discovering the alarming presence of toxins in conventional food and household products, highlighting the scant protection offered to consumers.

As a seasoned advocate for environmental health and a leader in sustainable lifestyle education, Amy has dedicated her life to empowering women with the knowledge and tools needed for a vibrant, toxin-free lifestyle. Through her Green Living Now Podcast, transformative online programs like the Organic Food Blueprint, and the 5-Day Green Living Kickstart Challenge, to provide clear, actionable strategies to eliminate toxins, make confident organic food choices, and adopt holistic lifestyle changes.

Dana Croschere is an award-winning filmmaker and passionate storyteller whose newest documentary, Rescued Hearts, is a dream that has been years in the making. After spending over 15 years volunteering at horse ranches and witnessing the extraordinary healing power of the horse-human connection, Dana knew she was meant to tell this story. 

The inspiration for her film-making journey came from one of the most challenging seasons of her life. Following two failed spine surgeries and a long battle with chronic pain, Dana embarked on a deeply personal path of self-discovery and healing—an experience that birthed her first film, LOVE HEALS, which has since touched countless lives around the world.

Dana and her partner Krisanna are devoted to making films that spread love, hope, and healing. With Rescued Hearts, they are capturing the magic, mystery, and science of healing with horses—and inviting audiences to witness the profound ways horses can help us open our hearts and connect more deeply with our authentic selves.

Krisanna Sexton, an award-winning director with Live Wild Films, knows firsthand the power that comes from embracing our authenticity.

Although she has been a filmmaker since the age of 16, she didn’t come out as gay until she was 28. As she began her journey toward love and acceptance of herself, she also discovered her potential to create conscious films.

Her most recent award-winning film, LOVE HEALS, has received acclaim across international boundaries and was released on PBS & GAIA along with distributors around the world. This documentary stands as a testament to Krisanna’s ability to touch hearts and minds through her heartfelt storytelling. 

Her work on RESCUED HEARTS has opened her heart in ways she could have never imagined, and she hopes this film will help open the hearts and minds of people around the world as they awaken to the healing potential within themselves.

Krisanna believes our stories have the power to change the world and remains committed to spreading hope and inspiration through the films she creates, working alongside the love of her life, Dana.

Using her bare feet, her loop station, and her electric cello, Brianna Tam envelops listeners in her mesmerizing and dynamic symphonic realm while simultaneously capturing their hearts with her charming and charismatic personality.

Based in Los Angeles, Brianna has captivated audiences at events ranging from immersive headliner concerts to transcendent EDM shows. She also delivered a riveting TEDx Talk performance and, in early 2023, was selected as a Top Shelf performer for NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest.

Previously, she was the recipient of a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council, which allowed her to engage in an Artist Residency with the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum.

Brianna’s gift of building worlds through sound translates into her compositions, with her score for the feature film Wild Fire winning “Best Soundtrack” at the 2023 Red Dirt Film Festival, as well as “Outstanding Original Soundtrack” at the 2024 New Jersey Film Festival. Her music was also featured in the trailer for the film The Performance.

Brianna has also composed for the biopic Healing Waters (2022), the game The Gold Crow (2022), and most recently completed the score for the film Rescued Hearts. Brianna’s inspiring single, “Bioluminescence,” was awarded First Place for the 2022 International Songwriting Competition. Brianna has composed for companies such as Bleeding Fingers, Eternal Music Group, and Artist Original

Brianna continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her innovative artistry and emotionally evocative soundscapes.
