Meet Darinesha Anntoinette Johnson

We were lucky to catch up with Darinesha Anntoinette Johnson recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Darinesha Anntoinette with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

I love this question, I would have to say it goes back to my childhood. Growing up I watched my parents lead a pretty busy life when it came to their careers paths. My mother was a RN and sometimes worked 12 hour days, I would just remember how hard she worked she always was able to reward herself for her hard work at the job. My Father was a carpenter, he built houses. He was the ultimate entrepreneur, from drawing out his blueprints of the homes, to helping him put a ceiling fan into the ceiling. I was always right beside him while my mother was working at her full time job.
Fast forward to my life now, I love to earn what I have. I believe anything good that comes in life you have to work for it. It might not be easy but it’s rewarding!

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I would like to say my life is split between 2 worlds. Event Directing and working as a esthetician part-time!
Both are a huge part of my life! My passion is Event Directing. Over the past 4 years I’ve directed 6 different events from fashion shows, to poetry showcases even tea parties! I love gathering the community together to celebrate. This is year 4 for me and I’ve recently been hired as a Event Manager for a well known community advocate Sean Ingram! Looking back I would’ve never thought my passion would’ve grown into what it is today! My goal is to become a celebrity Event Director one day!
The other side of my world involves me being a service to people everyday in the world of skincare! I perform facials for a living as well as helping people understand what goes behind formulating their own products! I own a Skincare brand NEOSKINCARE for 4 years and this year I will be releasing a EBook about how to start your own product business. My goal is to educate people more about this industry so they can reach their dreams and goals like myself!

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Organizing & Planning – Event Director

My love for caring for people & my love for chemistry- Skincare Formulating & Esthetician career

My creativity – Becoming a Painter/ Artist

The best advice I can give to excel in these are Study, Study, Study! Create your own library at home of every single thing you want to master. Self educate yourself, surround yourself with what you are focused on learning. The second I would say is Mentorship! Surround yourself with individuals who have achieved what you want in your life, they have experience; they have went through trial and error which can truly help you succeed and get through life’s challenges while you navigate your dreams.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

My biggest area of growth in these last past 12 months has been letting go of my own idea of where I should be in life. My faith had to grow. My faith has grown. The amount of release. The release of controlling the outcome. I had to learn to let life flow and give all my worries and problems to God! As soon as you do that you’ll receive a certain level of relief that’s so refreshing!!!
