WE BUILD
WORLDS BEYOND.
OUR STORY
Auclare Vision was formed as a response to our founder, Kenya, feeling an emptiness within her accomplishments. In a world demanding so much of her, she wanted autonomy and authenticity, but was confronted with compliance and performance. Recognizing the misalignment between the world's design and her deepest desires, Kenya decided to apply the wisdom of Toni Morrison and create what she wanted to see in the world.
In its first five years, Auclare Vision was a praxis space for social justice within career development. Kenya taught students, professionals, and organizations new ways of approaching work with identity safety and values alignment. As her scholarship deepened and the world shifted, Kenya realized what she wanted to see was now bigger than authentic career choices; she had to address the culture of injustice that stifled them.
Today, Auclare Vision stands as a worldmaking sanctuary that expands cultural imagination. We teach worldmaking in our community salon and academy to help everyday people build worlds beyond injustice. We believe that sovereignty and culture can be reclaimed through imagination, and we work with worldmakers to champion life-affirming possibilities.
OUR MISSION
We teach worldmakers to build life-affirming futures.
OUR VISION
We envision a world that affirms and protects all life.
OUR PURPOSE
We build cultural imaginations beyond injustice.
OUR VALUES
MEANINGFUL CONNECTION
We believe interdependence is essential for the survival and wholeness of all life.
ECOLOGICAL STEWARDSHIP
We build and celebrate systems that protect and affirm life in all forms.
SPIRITUAL ACTIVISM
We reconnect people with spirit and meaning to catalyze social change.
TRAGIC OPTIMISM
We acknowledge polycrisis and still create life-affirming possibilities.
Dismantling polycrisis requires us to free our imagination from the cult of injustice. We believe our collective responsibility is to build beyond systemic injustice.
OUR FOUNDER
Kenya L. Johnson
Cultural Sociologist
Kenya L. Johnson is a transdisciplinary scholar-artist whose work aims to shift cultural imagination. She moves between art, scholarship, and entrepreneurship to imagine social systems and cultures beyond injustice. Her practice uses worldmaking as an imaginative social change method to build worlds that reject the cult of injustice and normalize life-affirming futures.
As an alumna of Howard University and Bowie State University, Kenya is deeply committed to scholarship. She has presented her research and frameworks at numerous conferences and organizations to teach others to create what the world needs. For more than a decade, Kenya has consistently translated complex ideas into accessible frameworks that invite people to recognize their agency within the systems. Now, as a PhD Student in Applied Sociology and Social Justice, her research examines defining life-affirming cultures for tech orgs building generative AI.
Since founding Auclare Vision in 2020, Kenya has built and designed effective systems and programs that helped thousands of people see themselves clearly and change how futures are made. Her doctoral research has also influenced a critical shift to reimagine Auclare Vision as a worldmaking sanctuary. Now, she leads Auclare Vision as a form of praxis and artmaking, devoted to teaching worlds beyond injustice.
