Dana T. Johnson, a homegrown artist from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. After graduating high school, she pursued cosmetology, finding in the beauty industry a canvas for her creativity. Encouraged by a talent agent, she ventured into modeling, aspiring to see more diversity in her beloved magazines. Relocating to New York, her passion for music flourished as she collaborated with a prominent hip-hop producer.Throughout her varied pursuits, Dana wrote short stories, poems, and letters to herself, often declaring to friends her ambition to write a book. Inspired by the birth of her three children and motivated by a dearth of faith-inspired children's literature, she embarked on creating characters that were both fun and uplifting. Thus began her debut book, The Adventures of Courage, Faith, and Prosperity, the first installment in a series aimed at instilling adventure, friendship, and faith in young readers.Joining Dana on this journey are her daughters: Jayda Lawson and Jade Lawson. Their family adventure began with Dana's handwritten story, which Jayda and Jade lovingly brought to life on the pages, infusing it with joy and animation. See less
