We had the good fortune of connecting with Johntia Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Johntia, what do you attribute your success to?
I have to say that allowing God to lead me in my journey is my guiding force. It is me stepping out of my own way. I mean the plans we make sometimes dont workout. I had to learn to give my all to every situation. No mater the course or where I landed, there was a reason for me occupying that space. If I’m there I’m going to make it the best because it’s associated with my name, and that name is my brand.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a artist and it shows in any body of work I present. Acting is my focus, but I’ve found a love for Public Speaking. What I do is find a creative way to display all performances because that’s all it is. It’s getting on a stage and being heard, entertaining, inspiring, and drawing the audience in. I intend to leave the audience in awe. The road has not been easy because I didn’t have people to believe in me until I showed them.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
There is noting like finding a new place. Truly I’d be a tourist, looking for new things to do, places to eat, and drink.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Christian Noble and Kammeran Giggers
