A Message from the Founders

The Walker, Johnson
& Nasia Legacy Foundation

Grandparents and their grandchildren have such a special bond. In fact, it was Nasia Adisa (Gale Jordan) who instilled the legacy of giving, culture and fashion into her granddaughters' (Amenon Johnson) life at an early age. Upon the death of Nasia Adisa in 2015, Amenon spearheaded the creation and development of the WJ&N Legacy Foundation in honor of her grandmother.
