Our Team

Meme Johnson, CPLC
Founder & CEO
I have a deep passion for helping others, shaped by my upbringing in poverty which taught me gratitude for life's simple joys. Growing up in a large family where my hardworking parents struggled to provide for us, I empathize deeply with those on welfare and living in forgotten communities. From not being able to afford school pictures to wrapping up household items for Christmas, I've experienced challenges firsthand. Yet, I cherish these experiences because they fuel my passion for giving.

I believe we're all here to support and serve each other, especially those who are broken, lonely, or oppressed. Genuine service brings me immense joy and purpose. Leading by example, I strive to make a difference and embody the change I wish to see. Everyone has a story, and I find fulfillment in bringing smiles to faces, knowing a small act of kindness can brighten someone's day in ways we may never fully understand.

My lifelong passion for encouraging, inspiring, and instilling hope in others has led me to launch Passion2Give, offering Random Acts of Kindness, Life Coaching, Mentorship, and Mental Health & Empowerment events.
Remember, everyone is facing unseen challenges—let's be kind, love God, and love people.
 
 
Evangeline Williams, J.D.
General Counsel

From a young age, I was always taught to give back to the community in which I live, and there is no better way to give back than by volunteering your time to those in need. Volunteering is not only a great way to explore the community around you, it also allows you to interact with and learn about people you would normally not interact with on a day-to-day basis. This one simple interaction can lead to education, which in turn leads to action, and action leads to change.

By joining Passion2Give, my hope is that I can help others while also bringing about change to the community at large.

Yazmin Walker
Youth Mentor

No matter what you've been through, your past doesn’t define your future. Throughout my life, I’ve overcome many obstacles, but through the guidance and strength of my faith, I’ve discovered my purpose. I understand the struggle of feeling unseen, uncertain, or broken, but I also know the power of resilience, faith, and community in overcoming those challenges.

That's why I’m joining Passion2Give as a youth mentor: to help guide the next generation, remind them of their worth, and show them they are never alone. It's okay to not be okay, but we can rise above it together. I’m committed to empowering young people to embrace their potential and walk boldly in the life God has for them. I’m truly blessed to serve and be a part of this mission.

Alana Kealoha
Mentor | Creative Line

I’ve always had a heart for helping others—whether through my background in the medical field or capturing meaningful moments behind the camera. Content creation has been my creative escape, a way to bring stories to life and highlight the beauty in everyday moments.

At Passion2Give, I’m excited to use my creativity and passion for giving back to make a real impact. Being part of a mission that uplifts and inspires others is something I truly value, and I look forward to this journey together!

Linden Burns
Mentor | Mental Health Advocate

I’m a proud student at Louisiana State University and a passionate mental health advocate. Over the past ten years, I’ve walked through some of the darkest seasons of my life—battling self-harm, surviving suicide attempts, and wrestling with pain I couldn’t always explain. For a long time, I didn’t understand why I had to go through so much. I just kept praying for peace, for an end to the suffering.

But now I see—God didn’t intend to end my pain. He planned to use it.

Today, I share my story not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. I believe that suicide is a growing crisis, but the real silent killer is the stigma that keeps so many of us suffering in silence. That’s why I’m here—not just as a survivor, but as someone who’s ready to start the uncomfortable but life-changing conversations around mental health.

Joining Passion2Give means everything to me. It’s a chance to help others find the same hope I once thought I’d never have. If we want the stigma to end, it has to start with us—and I’m ready to be part of that change.

Ainsley Hinton
Mentor | Mental Health Advocate

I’m currently a student at Ole Miss, pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I’ve always known I wanted to help people, but it wasn’t until God redirected my path that I realized my purpose was tied to mental health.

After years of battling eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, I’ve come to understand the importance of accessible, holistic care. My dream is to open a counseling practice that brings together mental health professionals, dietitians, and more to support those who feel unseen or unheard.

Being a part of Passion2Give allows me to walk alongside others, advocate for change, and remind people they’re not alone. Healing is possible—and sometimes, it starts with simply being willing to share your story.
