The Power of Rejection | Chawntia Johnson, BSN, RN | TEDxLenoxVillageWomen

The idea of rejection defeats many before even starting; rejection can stem from many forms such as relationships, athletics, and career advancements. What if everything you dreamed of was rejected not only once, not twice, but in fact 9 times? Chawntia, who is a registered nurse, podcast host, founder of a community scholarship, and desires to bring health awareness to those around her; will speak on how to successfully recover from rejection when dreams may have been halted. In her talk, listeners will gain a foundation towards seeing a dream come to fruition. Lastly, Chawntia will discuss ways she has navigated through rejection, and how she has learned to propel through the power of rejection fearlessly. Chawntia Johnson is a native of Clarksville, TN. She graduated from Austin Peay State University in 2013 and Middle Tennessee State University in 2016. She is the founder of the Health and Holistic Health Fair and the Jackie Louise Memorial Scholarship. Due to COVID, her health fair idea needed to be adjusted which birthed Tia Talks, a podcast that discusses various topics such as Self-Care, College Preparedness, and other topics. She is passionate about serving others and allowing them to see the win within. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
