Johnita is an extroverted introvert and a retired educator who is always on the search for more; more knowledge, more truth, and as a result of her catastrophic car accident, more life to lead.

She is passionate about sharing her story in hopes of encouraging others who are going through (or previously faced) a traumatic ordeal. 

She is the mother of two amazing sons, Tevis and AJ, one fantastic daughter, Sofia; and a talented daughter-in-law, Jada. She's also the wife of a loving and devoted husband, Antoine. In her free time, Johnita enjoys spending time with her family, water workouts, listening to music, reading, and staying current on the latest celebrity news.

Johnita believes the wait for healing is the hardest part on the road to recovery, but the destination is oh so worth it!

Lisa is a Managing Director in the financial service industry and loves listening to podcasts. She has been sister friends with Johnita for over 25 years and is the proud auntie to Johnita’s son and daughter as well as six other nieces and nephews. Lisa traveled to Virginia the weekend of the accident and has witnessed Johnita’s miraculous recovery, but only from afar. Co-hosting the podcast will provide Lisa a more intimate understanding of Johnita’s recovery. 

Life is a continuous evolution constantly filled with high and lows, twists and turns. Johnita’s life changing journey is one which we can all learn from, and Lisa is honored to help share her story with the world.
