Many of us have been touched in some way by addiction. It can take a toll on us and those around us. Benyi Johnson knows this all too well. He wears his sobriety proudly, having battled addiction in NYC before making the brave decision to stay sober. But Benyi's story starts way before then. He was born in Dakar, Senegal, to parents of Togolese and Senegalese descent. His mom and dad worked for companies and organizations that are no longer around today. Now, Benyi is the host of the Stairways to Redemption podcast and is seven months sober. We know that sobriety is a journey that requires courage and support. So if you're looking to hear stories of redemption, please check out and support Benyi's work.
