Join Busboys and Poets for an inspiring evening with author, speaker, and national workforce leader Joshua Johnson as he discusses his debut book, Released and Redeemed: A Guide to Purpose, Power, and Leadership After Incarceration.
Through an honest and compelling conversation, Johnson shares his remarkable journey from incarceration to executive leadership, exploring themes of redemption, resilience, second chances, and the power of purpose. More than a memoir, Released and Redeemed invites readers to rethink leadership, forgiveness, and human potential while offering practical lessons for anyone navigating adversity or supporting others on their path to transformation.
The evening will feature a moderated conversation with Dr. Tommie Myles, audience Q&A, and a book signing. Whether you work in workforce development, education, criminal justice, or simply believe in the power of hope, you’ll leave inspired by a story that proves our past does not have to define our future
