The mission has donated thousands of Dr. John’s books in support of social healing, and offers grants to displaced and vulnerable youth.

Dr. John writes, narrates, and produces the podcast, I Will Read for You: The Voice and Writings of Jaiya John, and is the founder of The Gathering, a global initiative and tour reviving traditional gathering and storytelling practices to fertilize social healing and liberation.

Dr. John is a former professor of social psychology at Howard University and has spoken to over a million people worldwide and audiences as large as several thousand.
