Breaking Barriers. Building Bridges. Believing in what’s possible.

 I’m Bridgette Johnson, the Architect of That Bridge — a purpose-driven firm transforming how employers design inclusive pathways and how emerging professionals prepare to walk them with confidence, clarity, and purpose. 

For over two decades, I’ve led equity and student success initiatives that opened doors for thousands of young leaders — designing programs, partnerships, and pathways that connect preparation with opportunity and talent with belonging.

That Bridge was born from those experiences. I saw how brilliance often exists in places opportunity overlooks — and how systems must evolve to truly receive it. So I built a firm that helps employers and emerging professionals grow together.

My work centers on equity in action — building systems, training leaders, and reimagining readiness so the next generation isn’t just prepared for the workforce… the workforce is prepared for them.

I’m a connector, maximizer, and activator who believes every bridge we build should lead to belonging — and every act of leadership should open doors for someone else.

Let’s build what’s next, together!
