Ep. 6 - From Law School Struggles to Film Making Triumphs: A Musical Journey of Self-Discovery

A Life in Six Songs

Send us a text

June Johnson, our guest for today's episode, provides a fascinating exploration of her life's journey through six memorable songs. These are not just melodies to her; they serve as a soundtrack to her life. June reveals her transformation from a law student and attorney to a writer and filmmaker. Music played a pivotal role in this transition and her creation of True Bliss Television, which is “dedicated to promoting, portraying, and developing positive and loving images of people of color.” We have songs from Yolanda Adams, Alanis Morissette, ODESZA, Lauren Hill, and Marvin Gaye, not to mention an unexpected theme song from Friday The 13th: The Series. Pull up a folding chair, grab a drink, find a spot around the fire, and enjoy the conversation and community.
