The passion project of Johnnie Mikel.

​

Inspired by the reality that one word, choice, chance, or thing can change the course of someone's life, Johnnie wrote his song "One" in 2016.

​

Soon after, the One Word Foundation was born.

​

Initially used as a platform for Johnnie to perform and teach kids about kindness and the power of music at Boys & Girls Club locations and children's choirs, it grew into something much bigger.

​

By teaming up with various charities to benefit causes close to Johnnie’s heart, the One Word Foundation has been a channel to tackle homelessness, hunger, education, assisting disadvantaged communities, and animal rights.

​

To date, the One Word Foundation has helped raise tens of thousands of dollars, all going to these causes and more.

​

“I’ve been given a gift,” Johnnie says, “And I need to use it to give back.”

"All that matters is One."
