Some milestones you mark quietly. This one, we are throwing the doors open.

On Monday, September 21, 2026, join Dr. Arelia Johnson in Houston for an evening built around the three things: joy, justice, and leadership. We are celebrating her 45th birthday and the official release of her new book, Hijacking Equity & The Fight for Justice, all in one room, with good people, good food, and a conversation worth showing up for.

This unforgettable evening will bring together leaders, advocates, educators, and changemakers for meaningful conversations about creating equitable communities and leading with purpose.

🌟 Experience:
📖 Official Book Launch
🔥 A powerful Fireside Conversation moderated by Sasha L. (Black Girl Caucus)
✍🏾 Exclusive Book Signing with Dr. Arelia Johnson
🤝 Networking with community leaders, advocates, and professionals committed to justice and transformation

If you believe in advancing equity, inspiring courageous leadership, and building communities rooted in radical joy, this is the room you want to be in.

🎟️ Reserve your seat today and become part of the movement. Your voice, your presence, and your commitment to justice matter.
