Meet Myeka Johnson

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Myeka Johnson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Myeka below.

Myeka , so good to have you with us today. We’ve got so much planned, so let’s jump right into it. We live in such a diverse world, and in many ways the world is getting better and more understanding but it’s far from perfect. There are so many times where folks find themselves in rooms or situations where they are the only ones that look like them – that might mean being the only woman of color in the room or the only person who grew up in a certain environment etc. Can you talk to us about how you’ve managed to thrive even in situations where you were the only one in the room?

At this point in my career, I have been the “only one” in the room several times. To be honest, I don’t care. I never go into a room with the thought of who is going to be there. I know I have to accomplish something and that is my purpose in that specific room. As a CEO, you are alone on your path because it’s your business – your ideas. Being the “only one” is who u are once you become the leader.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

My profession is a CEO and while running my company, I am a full time Model and Actress, Marathon Runner, and full time traveler. Currently, Myeka Johnson, INC is releasing a magazine and a coffee table book. We just extended our locations from East Coast to West Coast. Myeka Johnson, INC is a talent consulting agency. We provide resources for talent portfolios for entertainers, public figures, athletes, and CEOs.

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?

The three factors that was impactful towards my business and career were:

#1) Taking risks
#2) Being resilient/prepared even when you have no idea how to and what to expect.
#3) Sticking to your plan.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

I have a great work-life balance. The main priority that helps with balancing work and life, is taking care of me first. I do what I want for myself each day before I begin work. I am the priority. I make sure to have fun no matter what. I hang out, drink, party, go on vacations. I make sure to maintain a personal life for myself. My favorite thing to do on the weekend is spending one night in eating my favorite snacks, drinking wine, and watching my favorite shows.
