Guest Speaker - Equity Diversity and inclusion

An authentic, powerful, and captivating, virtual keynote speaker. Professionally presenting very sensitive topics relating to Equity Diversity and inclusion in a thought-provoking and non-judgmental way, from the life’s raw organic experiences.
I would very highly recommend Ingrid D. Johnson as a guest speaker, a person that you will never forget. My audience feedback for Ingrid D. Johnson had left me very proud of my Equity Diversity and inclusion event and looking forward working with Ingrid D. Johnson in the near future with other projects.
Thank you for an outstanding presentation.

Simply Outstanding ...

Ingrid D Johnson and The Funky Fresh Crew were engaged to perform on the Community Stage at the Red River Ex, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in June 2019. Big voice. Great range. Soulful, Powerful. Engaging. Instrumentals were tight. All performances were outstanding ... even in the rain! Ingrid and the Crew have been booked to perform on the Main Stage at the Red River Ex 2020.

MUSIC REVIEWS:
What About Love? 2012 Album Reviews
"Ingrid D. Johnson's voice is simple yet soulful". - SoulMatters

"... On My Own, gives a telling story of regrets and resolution with great R&B flavour highlighted by hot piano and lead guitar with a mix of spoken word in the lyrics to dramatize the message. I've Got The Blues shows why jazz and blues are so closely connected with great trumpet and bluesy vocals. Listening to this song and others on What About Love? leaves the listener scratching their head over learning this is Johnson's first musical effort! This amazingly good." - The Phantom Tollbooth

"... Ingrid D. Johnson, based out of Winnipeg demonstrates that the vocal jazz scene is alive and well in the Great White North with her smooth sounding voice that seems to mix a little Esthero, a tiny bit of Amy Winehouse, and a whole lot of soul."
- Scribbles

" ... a hybrid of popular music with spoken word with social action". - Greyowl Point

"... With a vibe that finds its roots in 60s message music, Johnson moves the sound from the church basement up to the main sanctuary and rocks up a soulful message of hope through despair". - Midwest Record

" ... Positive vibes permeate every song, even the sad ones, on this ultimately uplifting disc. Her sound is a soulful blend of pop, jazz, and hip-hop supported by her band, the Funky Fresh Crew. An individually talented group. The Crew has a good chemistry that gives the songs a real vibrancy." - Broose Tulloch ( Stylus Magazine)
