About Me

Hi, I'm Ardrina Johnson. I was born in Chicago and grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 2023, I moved to Oshkosh with my family because I wanted a safe and supportive place for my kids to grow up. I've been married for almost 13 years, and I'm a proud parent of three amazing daughters. Right now, I'm in school studying Criminal Justice with a minor in Communication.

When I was younger, I joined a youth program that had a huge impact on my life. It helped me build confidence, stay motivated, and believe in myself enough to follow my dreams. Now, I'm passionate about giving back. I want to inspire young people to believe in themselves, never give up, and go after their goals. No dream is too big — if you believe in yourself and work hard, the sky’s the limit!

That’s why I founded the Johnson Youth Foundation (JYF). I’m incredibly passionate about creating a space where youth feel seen, heard, and empowered. JYF is more than a program — it’s a movement to uplift, support, and guide the next generation. Through mentorship, mental health resources, and meaningful activities, I’m committed to helping youth reach their full potential and become leaders in their own lives.
