~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raphael B. Johnson
 
Raphael B. Johnson is not just a motivational speaker and author of the nationally acclaimed autobiography, To Pose a Threat: My Rite of Passage, he's your brother in the struggle.  From offering assistance and resources to "ex-offenders" who return home from prison to carrying out interventions on The Maury Show, he has devoted himself to challenging the thinking errors that bound the human will.
 
Raphael is CEO of Total Package Lifestyle, LLC, a national company that promotes cognitive restructuring and physical conditioning.  He is also a reintegration coordinator for Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit and the chairman of Community Involvement for Legacy Associates Foundation.  Raphael is diligently in the trenches of our communities trying to make a difference...trying to reverse the misguided influences of urban American culture.
 
Raphael graduated from CT High with honors in 1993.  He is a summa cum laude graduate of University of Detroit Mercy.  He is scheduled to receive his Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) in December 2008.  Raphael is married with a two-year-old son and a new daughter who arrived on the fourth of July.  He has been endorsed by the Michigan Chronicle and the Detroit Free Press for the Best Community Leader Hoodie Award.
