Paul Johnson was raised at Burnside Skatepark in the lawless heyday of the early-90’s. As a lifetime skater who is both Black and deaf, Paul has had to navigate a world that is predominantly hearing and predominately white.
Over the years, Paul has found solace through his board, through broken conversations with hearing friends, and through the socially-acceptable abuse of alcohol. Paul feels most seen and heard when he's around Bryan - who is also Black and deaf. The two friends find a safe space with each other that is otherwise elusive in their day-to-day lives.
