Before joining NBJC, the civil rights advocate worked for President Obama as the first executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. During his tenure, which began in 2013 and ended when President Obama left office, the initiative worked to develop educational and workplace development programs that benefited African American students. The White House appointment came after Johns spent years working with members of Congress on education policy.
“It was the first time that I, as a black and same-gender-loving man, was invited to marry my personal and professional lives in a very public way,” Johns said. He added the summit gave students who are often told “they need to shrink or neglect critical parts of themselves" the opportunity to be part of something important and hear the message to dream big.
