Where Leadership, Culture & Power Intersect
Tequila Johnson is an award-winning social entrepreneur and business strategist who transforms movements into models and leaders into architects of sustainable power. After a decade of mobilizing communities, shaping policy, and building one of the South’s most impactful civic organizations, Tequila now partners with executives, institutions, and organizations to design systems of influence that scale.
Her work lives at the intersection of leadership, culture, and power helping leaders align who they are with the impact, income, and legacy they’re called to build.
From Movement Mastery Marketplace
This evolution anchors her signature work:
The Power Profile™, The Power Shift™ Keynote, and Power Labs™, frameworks that help leaders understand the power they lead from and the power they need next.
Tequila built a nationally recognized organization, the Equity Alliance, scaled multimillion-dollar companies, and led teams that thrived even in her absence, allowing her to take a transformational sabbatical where she redefined what power, leadership, and sustainability look like in her next era.
Today, she brings that mastery into the marketplace:
From fighting for systems to designing them.
From building movements to building models.
From mobilizing voices to mentoring visionaries.
