Ayana Johnson is a dedicated clinical mental health therapist, dynamic public speaker, and four-time published author who empowers individuals to prioritize their mental health and cultivate a deeper relationship with God. As a woman of faith, community leader, Ayana is committed to inspiring personal growth and fostering spiritual development in the lives of others.
Through her organization, ResemblingRUTH, Ayana has successfully organized three annual conferences and traveled around the world creating safe spaces where participants gain mental health knowledge, resources, and support. Her impactful work has reached diverse groups and organizations, including churches, chambers of commerce, correctional facilities, school corporations, and women’s shelters.
