Dr. Jett speaks with Metro United Way’s leader about efforts toward reform and how personal life tragedies have inspired her to make the most out of her position today.
Adria Johnson embodies hope, integrity, humanity and has focused her career on lifting some of society’s most vulnerable populations and being of service to others.
Ms. Johnson’s proven ability to lead efforts toward reform and work collaboratively across a wide range of stakeholders have served her well not only in her current position of Chief Executive Officer for Metro United Way, but also in prior roles held in Kentucky State Government and Louisville Metro Government.
Her leadership has been instrumental in bringing about expanded service provision in many areas including neighborhood revitalization supports, preventive services for children and youth at risk of abuse or neglect, comprehensive services for children and youth with greater behavioral and developmental needs, employment opportunities for youth aging out of foster care, and development of workforce opportunities for social services disciplines.

In this two part episode, Dr. Jett talks with former UofL football legend, Ibn Green, on his life after football, raising his daughters, and how he impacts young men in sports as a coach.
Hands down the best tight end in Louisville football history, and potentially the program’s best past catcher ever, Ibn Green was a force to be reckoned with under Ron Cooper and John L. Smith.
Green had an immediate connection with quarterback Chris Redman, who was a classmate and teammate at Louisville Male High School with him. Over the course of their four seasons together, they became one of the best duos in the country.
Green graduated as the third-leading receiver in Louisville football history with 2,830 yards, second all time in total receptions with 217 and has the most catches ever recorded in a game by a Cardinal.
Today, Green is a proud Louisvillian and still lives and works in the city, coaching youth football in his spare time and trying to keep up with his five daughters.
