Marklyn T. Johnson Biography

Marklyn T. Johnson was born and raised in central New Jersey and is a graduate of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, Johnson has worked in the production industry for over twenty years speaking everywhere from schools, churches, and other live events. Growing up, Johnson idolized many different men including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Michael Jackson, Eddie Murphy, Michael Jordan and Tupac Shakur. All of these figures inspired Johnson to follow his dreams, embrace his passions, and speak his mind.

By far, however, Johnson’s greatest idol was his father, Willie. Johnson’s father was a very strict man, due to his own struggles in life that many men of color (African Americans) must unfortunately deal with. When he looks back on his life, Johnson regrets ignoring the life lessons his father taught him. However, when he thinks about the man he’s become today- the way he tells it like it is, the way he tries to lift others up, and his willingness to help others, he is reminded that he is a walking example of his father’s teachings.

Time and again, Johnson’s has seen kids who are down on themselves. He’s seen friends who are discouraged. While following his own dreams, Johnson has encountered many people with the same dream, however, they don’t always understand the drive and passion it takes. Even in their deepest despair, Johnson wants to motivate them and lift their spirits.

Johnson’s story is one of someone who has taken what he has been given and given it to others. His story is of a lost soul who found his talents and wants to give them to the world.

They often struggle to determine how to rediscover their identity. I assist them in this process within a group setting. By defining one's identity, it becomes possible to navigate towards new directions that may not have been previously considered.

  • Racism: Bias, Bigotry, Prejudice

    In recent times, there has been a notable increase in racism and antisemitism. One contributing factor is the reluctance to engage in these vital discussions openly.
