Demetrius Johnson: The Green Store and So Much More

In today's episode, Annika sits down with Demetrius Johnson. Demetrius grew up in Rock Island's Arsenal Courts (now known as Century Woods) in a large Rock Island family. Demetrius and his wife, Chanda, now own the Green Store, a corner convenience store located across the street from Century Woods, and strive to be a positive presence in the community. Demetrius explores his journey through young adulthood, the transformative power of fatherhood and his wife on his life, and how he's become a parent and community member he would have looked up to as a kid. I encourage you to follow Demetrius on social media as he tells the stories of people who live in the Century Woods neighborhood. As he says, "there are some people here I want the world to know."
