Who is Linea Johnson @locsofpoetry_?
I am a platform that focuses on the Black experience through a Black woman’s lens.
What has contributed to your personal growth?
I would say age. I’m not the same person I was five minutes ago. I’ve evolved and I’m becoming the person I need to be.
In the next 5 years where do you see yourself going?
In terms of success? I see myself being self-employed and clearing six figures. In terms of a relationship? My ass better be married. Kids? I don’t know..
What are the 3 images that best describe your growth?
This image is the first image on my boutique’s website, it shows my persistence with opening up my first place and it was one of the first images I took when the idea first came to fruition.
This second image is the first trip I took by myself. I went to Minnesota for the first time and I was touring the campus of the University of Minnesota. It was there, that I spent time with my King. It was the beginning of our relationship.
This third image was taken during the first time I met Ketsy. She was such a beautiful soul and a lovely person to be around. She stayed with me for the entire duration of the shoot when she did not have to. Rest in power, my love.
What message would you like to provide those people who have hit a road block with their personal growth?
Being persistent is essential. You’ll hear one millions no’s before you get a yes. But if you give up prematurely, you’ll never accomplish anything. Life isn’t handed to you, you have to be aggressive and stay the course – no matter if you’ve been handed lemons.
How would you like to be remembered?
I want to be remembered as a great advice giver with a beautiful mind.
What are your current ventures?
