Our special guest today is Ttori Johnson. She is an incredible person who has pursued a full life through travelling and culture, deep relationships through a relentless offering of love and support, and a meaningful life through education and volunteer work.
As far as education, Ttori originally wanted to study law. Her plans were derailed after a fallout with her mother and she was kicked out of the house at 17 years old. Even at such a young age, Ttori was determined to take the next steps in her life, so went on to obtain an undergraduate degree in medical business management. She went on to a flourishing career in the medical field, taking on various clinical operations management positions over the last 17 years.
For the last few years she has volunteered at the East Oakland Collective and serves as a volunteer coordinator for the Feed the Hood Program, which led her to a major career shift, and is where she now works.
Not only is she highly accomplished in her career and volunteer history, but she is one of the most genuine people I know, one of the most incredible mother’s I’ve ever met, and one of the most loyal friends I could ever ask for. When she says she will always be there for you, she means it, and I am so grateful for her friendship over the last 20 years. Within the same sentence she will give the most profound insight then the most hilarious clapback to anyone or anything that is out of pocket, or in other words, misaligned with the truth.
We are bringing her on today to talk about her successful career path, her recent career change, her recent engagement to the love of her life and some insights on how she has raised an incredible young man.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
