About me

What’s up ! My name is Takayla, you all are welcome to call me Kayla or TK. I am a Sacramento native, born and raised in Oak Park. I am a 20 years old, Sagittarius. My birthday is December 19. I am the youngest of 8 children and a product of a blended family. My parents are Earlene Brown and Carl Johnson. Throughout the duration of my life I grew up in a God fearing home. At the age of four I lost my father. Carl Johnson was murdered in Del Paso Heights, California. The loss of my father became my strength, as I used it to motivate myself through life. Personally my love for education is encouraged by my mother’s sacrifices and my father’s death. My education experience has created character defining moments in my life. Past teachers and mentors have made school more than just a place to obtain information, but as a place to build community and character. Some fun facts about me is that I have traveled through every state of the United States and I teach Freedom School throughout the summer. My future plans are to obtain a PhD in Ethnic Studies. I attended California State University, Sacramento for my freshmen year of college, majoring in Ethnic Studies. Once I receive my doctorate degree I plan to continue to serve the community that serves me by teaching in the greater Sacramento Area. In my spare time enjoys empowering younger women and being a resource to the youth of Sacramento. Community work is the most important thing to me as I wish to serve my community in every aspect especially, education and civil rights. My journey has already started and will not stop anytime soon. Sacramento City college is my new home. I am excited to begin my journey here. Sacramento raised a young educator, healer, and activist. I am proud to be from Sacramento.
