Recently recognized as one of South Carolina's most "Inspiring Women of 2019", Suncera Johnson survived an upbringing beset by alcoholism, addiction, and religiosity while rebounding from young single motherhood marred by ex-communication, poverty, and hopelessness. She found strength through her relationship with God.
With no college degree or formal training, Johnson began her television career as a temporary administrative assistant at Spike TV. Her work now spans across companies such as Atlantic Records and MTV along with credits on top-rated television shows on ABC, NBC, FOX, VH1, OWN, and more. She is a member of the Producers Guild Association, New York Women in Film & Television, and the National Association of Television Program Executives and previously served on the Board of Directors for the Black PR Society of NY.
In the digital realm, Johnson helped to launch YouTube channels, such as "LIVES with Meredith Vieira" and JAY Z's "Life+Times," taking it from zero to more than 3 million subscribers and 3 billion views.
She previously published "Getting to First Base: The Art of the Pitch" and "Breaking into Television: An Insider's Guide" (as @thatwritingchic), which have both been used in college classrooms in New York and Los Angeles.
When she is not conducting workshops on her I.D.E.A.™ method of audience development or motivating audiences at speaking engagements, the CEO of amass digital, proud mother of two and grandmother of seven enjoys traveling and spending time having talks with God in the place she now calls home – North Myrtle Beach, SC.
She is also the Founder of Lifestyle by Suncera, an online boutique specializing in statement tees, sweatshirts, self-care journals and more.
