FOUNDER

Since the end of the last century, Lynn Johnson has worked at the intersection of social impact, entrepreneurship, and arts + media. She has founded and successfully led several social ventures dedicated to culture building through the lens of gender and racial justice.

Currently, Lynn works as CEO of Hella Social Impact, a women of color-owned consultancy that helps organizations show up for racial justice. She is a member of the Dismantle Collective, a Black-led, multigenerational, Queer People of Color-centered social enterprise that is developing land and spaces—both physical and virtual—focused on collective liberation. And finally, she, along with her wife Allison Kenny, is the co-founder of High Desert Playback, a multi-racial theater company based in her home of Albuquerque, NM that “plays back” the real-life stories of its audience members,

A highly sought-after speaker and facilitator, the focus of all of Lynn’s work is to bring folks together in ways that inspire, educate, and activate them to create more equitable and inclusive communities.

FOUNDER

Ashley has worked with some of the most recognizable names in corporate America. She has helped businesses tackle their toughest challenges in finance, accounting, and strategy. As a consultant, Ashley learned the inner workings of some of the largest corporations in the world, while simultaneously developing the desire and talent to help smaller businesses succeed.

She left corporate America as a “high performer” in a white supremacist world with the realization that the ability to operate in a white supremacist world does not equal complicity or complacency in doing so. 

Inspired by her grandfather, Isiah, who built bridges in the Vietnam war, Ashley has established herself as a bridge-builder for social impact and equality. Ashley’s goal is to show companies how being actively anti-racist can positively impact their bottom line.

Ashley is now a sought-after consulting CFO to woman-owned and Black-owned businesses, including Hella Social Impact. Ashley feels called to do her part to narrow the wealth gap between minorities and the majority in the United States. She is an advocate for Black and Brown people, and is committed to using financial literacy as a tool against oppression.

Ashley is currently cultivating her green thumb in the purple Peach State (Atlanta, GA).
