ABOUT MYA JOHNSON

Mya is a freshman at Danbury High School. She plans to enter the law field and is extremely passionate about helping others and communities in need. This passion led her to join the Been Beautiful organization, in which she aims to help bring light to the mental health issues within marginalized communities. Outside of Been Beautiful, Mya has strived to make the most of her time as a freshman, becoming vice president of the debate team and the co-president of the poetry club for the upcoming academic year. She strongly advocates for the importance of spaces where one can express oneself, and she hopes that through her time at Been Beautiful, she can help create that space for others.
