In this episode of A Black Executive Perspective Podcast, hosts Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed sit down with criminal defense attorney and juvenile court judge Keith B. Johnson for a raw and revealing conversation about resilience, identity, and purpose.
Keith speaks about watching a promising high school football career vanish after a devastating injury and how that moment forced him to reinvent his entire path. He talks candidly about navigating bias as a young Black prosecutor, proving his worth in rooms that questioned his presence, and stepping into the judiciary with the weight of representation on his shoulders.
Grounded in faith and driven by service, Keith shares why mentoring young athletes matters, how he stays connected to the community, and what it truly means to “show up” when life demands more than you expected.
This episode challenges listeners to embrace their detours, stand firm in the face of adversity, and use their experiences to lift others along the way.
