Brookmeade is excited to welcome Dahron Johnson as our guest preacher this Sunday, June 30th! Dahron Johnson, a clinically-trained chaplain who is licensed in the United Church of Christ, works with a number of local and state groups, including the community advisory boards for the Kennedy Center; the Program for LGBTQ+ Health at VUMC; and the Board of the community leadership development group, Neighbor 2 Neighbor. Her activism work, though, has its home with the Tennessee Equality Project, a group dedicated to legislative advocacy for LGBTQ+ Tennesseans. Dahron was recently elected by the Metro Council of Nashville & Davidson County to serve on its Human Relations Commission, and has testified before TN General Assembly Senate and House committees on multiple occasions. In January 2024, serving as Chaplain of the Day, Chaplain Johnson became the first openly trans person to speak from the floor of the Tennessee House—also believed to be the first time nationally that an out trans person has offered prayer in any state legislature.
