By being part of the NFL’s national Inspire Change campaign, Johnson believes it will bring more awareness to not just Kevvy’s Vision but other non-profits that are committed to social justice.
Johnson also takes pride in representing Fresno and finding ways to shine a more positive light on his community.
“Just coming from Fresno, California, being a smaller city – when you think of Fresno, nobody really thinks of too many good things coming out of the city,” Johnson said, “but to just be able to inspire change in Fresno on a national level and get the national recognition, it means a lot to me, the nonprofit that I have, everybody that’s put in countless hours, being able to recognize them as well, putting in the work, and then also the Fresno community, that change is coming.
In the NFL feature, Johnson said he is honored to have the opportunity share his best friend’s vision with the world and “continuing to let his soul still walk this Earth.”
Johnson feels confident that Kev’Vion would be proud of where his family and Johnson have taken his mission along with all the lives he’s touched.
“I think he loves it and I still think we feel him in everything that we’re doing,” Johnson said. “Just being able to take some of the things that he wanted to do and was doing already and being able to execute them, I think that’s even part of the part of the name as well — Kevvy’s Vision, what he wanted to do.
“Just going in and not just doing something under his name, but actually executing what he wanted to do, I think it’s just more authentic. It just feels right, feels more purposeful for us to do and gives us a lot of motivation when we go back and put all these events together and putting in countless amount of hours. I think it just all goes back to we’re doing this for Kev and doing what Kev wanted to do.”
