A Personal Message from Johnny:
Hi, thank you for considering us as a collaborative partner in leaving a legacy of love as we build a better world together. I sincerely appreciate it!
Three words—Resilient, Inspiring, and Empowering—best describe my life’s journey. I often wonder if there is a master plan I am meant to fulfill, maybe for myself, for those I have crossed paths with, or for those I will soon meet. Looking back, it has truly been an adventure filled with celebrations, heartaches, smiles, tears, unexpected setbacks, introspection, reflection, and resilience.
Fortunately, my 9 Moms and their unconditional motherly love helped me shape and navigate my path to success, knowledge, and wisdom. Always look through the Lens of Love; they epitomized, “A Family Experience is Defined by Who Loves Us and Who We Love, rather than by our shared DNA.”
Throughout my life, I have consistently taken on roles where I lead people and manage situations. In grade school, high school, and college, I often stepped up when others hesitated or avoided taking charge during tough and challenging circumstances. At 33, I was a successful young Chief Operating Officer, leading a team of over 600 multigenerational, culturally diverse employees.
My passion for creating a positive impact, improving society, and fostering progress started in my mid-20s. For over 15 years, I have served my Baton Rouge, Louisiana community by initiating and leading projects that benefit and inspire future generations as Chairman of the Board and President of several organizations. In December 1998, I received a Certificate of Appreciation from then-Mayor Tom Ed McHugh for my leadership contribution to the Baton Rouge 2020 Project, “A Vision of Opportunity with a World of Possibility.”
Since 2009, I have empowered individuals and transformed lives as a multi-award-winning and bestselling author, experiential keynote speaker, workshop presenter and facilitator, talk show host, executive career and life coach, mentor, and consultant. Reflecting today's corporate culture and the human experience of diversity, equity, and inclusion, my real-life stories of circumstances, unexpected setbacks, successful rebounds, and reaching my highest potential resonate with and connect to audiences and clients of all ages.
In 2021, the prestigious Global Forum for Education and Learning (GFEL) recognized my years of heartfelt, passion-driven work by naming me one of their Top 100 Visionaries in Education for 2020-2021. Global BRAINZ Magazine also invited me to serve as an Executive Contributor, and I received their CREA Global Awards in 2022.
The International Impact Book Awards named me a finalist for the International Impact Author of the Year Award in 2025 in the Self-Help: Relationships & Communication category. This came about when my Special Edition From My Mama's Kitchen ~ ‘food for the soul, recipes for living” My 9 MOMS - Conversations about Life, Love, and Laughter was the International Impact Book Award Winner in the Inspirational category for Stories of Kindness and Humanity, Personal Growth and Development, Emotional Intelligence, and Resilience.
Over the years, the most valuable life lesson I have learned is that “Real Wealth is Not What We Accumulate. It Is What We Give Away!” Everyone has their own interpretation of what wealth means; for me, it is knowledge, wisdom, and time. Today, as a social entrepreneur with genuine, authentic integrity, I am passionate about sharing my “knowledge, wisdom, and time” with others. Contributing to someone’s happiness, being a blessing in their life, and helping them experience the abundance of their highest best self brings me great joy.
