Keep your handkerchief close by for a poignant and passionate conversation with TEP's co-chair, Dahron Johnson, a clinically-trained chaplain, serves as the Bereavement Coordinator for a
hospice serving middle Tennessee, advocating for equity & flourishing across multiple communities—efforts recognized earlier this year by her work’s Diversity Champion award. Outside this space, Dahron is co-chair of the Nashville Committee of the Tennessee Equality Project—a statewide legislative advocacy organization for LGBTQIA+ Tennesseans—as well as
serving on the community advisory council for the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center. She has been a member of the institutional review board for human subject research for the VA’s middle-TN
health system for over 15 years, and also currently serves as the Secretary on the Metro Nashville & Davidson County’s Title VI anti-discrimination body, the Metro Human Relations Commission. Regardless of location, Chaplain Johnson advocates persistently for keeping the voices of those with whom she works central to their own journeys.
