Welcome to the Hopedealers show! I’m your host, Kristin Joy Greer. I’m a principal, author, speaker, artist, leadership coach, and auntie to one amazing nephew (who you’ll meet in a minute), I hope to share real-life, transformative stories of hope and empowerment. Who doesn’t need HOPE? I know we do in our world today.

I will be sharing my hope-filled journey and will interview active and engaging #hopedealers making a difference in our society. Today, I am ecstatic to introduce my amazing nephew, Pierre “PJ” Johnson, Jr. to the show to share a message of Hope with us. PJ will be with us soon, but before we get started, I want to tell you why today’s show is necessary.

In the year 2020, America saw the horrific murder of George Floyd. For many, this was yet another violent act of racisms, but for some, this was a modern-day example of what they had seen or heard about from history. A global reawakening to a maniacal giant sent for destruction. The oppression of Black people was yet again...the reality.

Meet this episode's #HopeDealer, 8-year-old, Pierre.
