Nicole Goodman Johnson
I’m a serial entrepreneur and attorney who teaches beauty professionals how to use traditional legal tools to in today’s digital world. In other words, I help you increase profits, save time, avoid costly legal mistakes.
Here’s a bit about me:
I’m Black….capital B. I recognize that systemic racism impacts how we do business and our access to key support, like legal services. And being part of a profession that historically excluded people who look like me, is one of the reasons I’m here, doing this work.
I was raised in Detroit. Dexter-Linwood, stand up! I’ve spent adulthood in the Washington, DC area. Specifically Congress Heights and Anacostia, before “the change.” So IYKYK! I’m a proud alumna of Howard University. Any success I’ve managed to pull off is largely because of the communities that raised me.
Throughout my childhood and early adult life, I experienced several stints of homelessness. Simply put, we were poor. My desire to help people build sustainable businesses and generate wealth stems from those early experiences.
I’m passionate about supporting entrepreneurs because ownership is what helps us build generational wealth, especially in Black and brown families. The neighborhood candy lady, the stylist doing sew-in’s from her living room, the first person you call when you need a cake baked. . . I want to see those businesses become sustainable assets for their owners.
I’m a serial entrepreneur. Over the years, I’ve started several small businesses. Some have failed, most have been successful. When I tell you that I understand the time and effort you’ve put into your business, I mean it. I want to protect all that you’ve built.
I’m somebody’s mama. Just like many of my customers and clients, I’m out here doing everything I can to create a beautiful life for my baby, and build wealth for generations to come.
