A TRUE INSPIRATION
In case you don’t know her, Crissy Johnson would like to introduce herself.
A native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Johnson, 39, could be appropriately described as a woman of many hats, given she assumes notable roles as a devoted wife, mother, Corporate American professional, author, and entrepreneur.
An accomplished program analyst for an area Historically Black College and University (HBCU) affiliate, Johnson is creative director for Product Label Queen and serves as executive director for MomAdvocate Foundation.

Established in 2019, the MomAdvocate Foundation is Johnson’s Virginia-based nonprofit organization that has become a fixture for customarily providing support for families who are coping with childhood cancer.
Generally, her foundation’s strategic mission is centered in large part on providing what Johnson describes as maximum positive effort for its childhood cancer community or, as she acknowledges, “planting seeds of awareness” regarding childhood cancer.
“We plant seeds of awareness by empowering, educating, and providing assistance for cancer families,” Johnson said in a detailed synopsis of her featured organization via its website. “We provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference.”
To her credit, Johnson serves as a rising business coach, as well as a mentor for Business With Crissy.
“Being in a male-dominated industry, I had to be the blueprint, the trailblazer for women that come behind me,” Johnson told Making Headline News. “Instead of succumbing to the pressure of being the minority, I embraced it as an opportunity to challenge stereotypes and carve my own path. Through hard work, determination, and resilience, I paved the way for other women providing that success knows no gender boundaries.”
Having earned an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science from Tidewater Community College, Johnson is pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Services (while minoring in Psychology Minor).
Much to her delight, Johnson is a well-respected Product Label Queen who aspires to become a fixture for one of the most recognized and trusted Product Label Printing companies in the United States.

Ironically, Johnson’s tenure in her chosen profession and as an entrepreneur span some four years.
Married to Rodney Johnson, the couple shares four children: Blair, Aaliyah, Christiana, and David.
“Witnessing their relentless determination, unwavering self-belief, and relentless perseverance in the face of challenges has sparked a flame within me,” Johnson told MHN. “They are the thriving force that pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and chase after my own ambitions, knowing that I can accomplish anything.”
When asked why it is imperative to esteem others daily, Johnson said:
“It creates positivity, motivation, and personal growth.”
