CHRISTINA JOHNSON BIO It’s been said that whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. If  that is true, Christina Johnson has superhuman strength. A teen  mom born to a teenage mother, Johnson refused to be a statistic. The Charlotte, NC native relocated to Atlanta, GA in 1997 with her two  young daughters in pursuit of a creative career, but as fate would  have it, she met and fell in love with burgeoning rapper/singer  CeeLo (formerly of NBC’s The Voice). Sharing mutual passion for  family life and artistic expression, Johnson served as CeeLo’s muse  in several of his music videos; the couple married in 2000 and  welcomed a beautiful and healthy son in 2001. Johnson now a  mother of three and a newly-wed, decides to adorn an additional hat  and becomes the owner of Inner Piece Design (IPD), a progressive  interior design and consulting firm.  Johnson’s company was known for its minimalistic approach to  design, by combining natural and organic materials with modern  pieces that visually harmonize with high-end residential properties  and commercial spaces. IPD’s clientele included superstar  entertainers such as CeeLo, Ludacris and Young Jeezy, as well as  athletes, urbanites and business professionals. Johnson’s work has  been showcased on the television show, MTV, and in between the  pages of popular magazines such as Ebony, Vibe, Atlanta Peach and Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles where she was featured in the Top 10  Designers Under 40 issue.  In 2005, Johnson divorced from her husband of five years, which  ironically left her seeking inner peace, in addition to confronting  deeply hidden issues she had buried since childhood. Seeking  solace in her service first attitude; she connected with a domestic  violence organization where her public speaking artistry took flight.  As a mother, her experience for cultivating young children and  young adults was a natural maternal trait, so speaking to some of  Atlanta’s youth at some of the area schools on the subject of verbal  and physical abuse was another avenue for her to educate.  In 2014, she became one of the stars of VH1’s Atlanta Exes.  Johnson valued the sisterhood bond she developed with her  enterprising cast mates, but also used the opportunity to shed light  on being a survivor of domestic violence, and Graves’ disease, an  auto immune disorder that commonly affects the thyroid gland.  Diagnosed in 2009, she has undergone three surgeries over the  course of a few years but remained optimistic and has since  overcome the condition.  This visionary mogul is now a Global Life Coach! Johnson does  one-on-one coaching with women all over the world. ‘The Quench  Quest’ is a new group coaching program that Johnson has added to  her mentoring curriculum. She’s guiding women on a path of  learning how to forgive themselves and their past. She’s also  teaching them how to love themselves again, or in some cases for  the very first time. Her goal is to show them ways to authentically  enjoy their lives.  Having overcome years of setbacks and battles, Johnson feels that  she has done the work, is a walking example of what she teaches,  and is finally living her purpose; what some may consider the new   ‘American Dream’. As a devoted mother, businesswoman, spiritual  guru and philanthropist, Christina Johnson may not view herself as a modern-day superwoman… but if the cape fits… MAY as well  WEAR it and OWN it.  --  Blessings, Christina Johnson
