Dr. Johnson began her professional career as the first African American woman in Indianapolis, Indiana to manage a McDonald’s restaurant. That experience prepared her for a distinguished career in Pharmaceutical Sales. Desiring to solve her own skin and healthcare concerns, she discovered a variety of natural remedies that effectively worked wonders without any side effects.

 

Dr. Johnson’s passion for the world of Fashion and beauty motivated her to overcome the odds to become the first woman to hold a sales management position with Revlon Realistic Hair Care Company.  She also co-authored, “Chicken Soup for The Soul at Work.” Dr. Johnson also published her personal inspirational story, “When Dreams Won’t Die,” which describes her personal journey, translated into over 20 languages.
