Grit: JJ Johnson

We welcome Chef JJ Johnson of FieldTrip this week who shares stories of Grit from his life and career. From roadblocks he faced coming up as a Black chef in the industry to never closing his business during the ongoing pandemic, JJ's passion and perseverance provide a dose of inspiration. Throughout the month of October we dive into the theme of Grit, something we all need to reinvent and rebuild right now. The Welcome Conference is going digital and we're hosting a range of content for free over the course of the next few months. Register for free at virtual.welcomeconference.org.
