Itâs been said that whatever doesnât 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 1997ô° ô° ô° 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 NBCâs The Voice).
Sharing a mutual passion for family life and artistic expression, Johnson served as CeeLoâs muse
in several of his music videos. The couple married in 2ô°000 and welcomed a beautiful and healthy
son in 2ô°001. Johnson, now a mother of three and a newlywed, decides to adorn an additional hat and becomes the owner of Inner Piece Design (IPD), a progressive interior design and consulting firm.
Johnsonâs 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. IPDâs clientele included superstar entertainers such as CeeLo, Ludacris, and Young Jeezy, as well as athletes, urbanites, and business professionals. Johnsonâs 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 ô°40 issue.
In ô°2005ô°, 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 Atlantaâs youth at some of the area schools on the subject of verbal and physical abuse was another avenue for her to educate.
In ô°2014ô°, she became one of the stars of VH1âs Atlanta Eô°xes. Johnson valued the sisterhood bond she developed with her enterprising castmates but also used the opportunity to shed light on
being a survivor of domestic violence, and Gravesâ disease, an autoimmune disorder that commonly affects the thyroid gland. Diagnosed in ô°2009ô°
, 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. âThe Quench Questâ is a new group coaching program that Johnson has added to her mentoring curriculum. Sheâs guiding women on a path of learning how to forgive themselves and their past. Sheâs 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 purposeâwhat some may consider
the new âAmerican Dreamâ. 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.
Christina is the perfect addition to the the Lady Bugsđ
