A well-respected journalist in his own right, Johnson on December 8, 2016 deemed it necessary to carry out his journalistic vision by establishing Making Headline News, a Dallas, Texas-based mainstream media outlet that has become a fixture for providing individuals from various walks of life the golden opportunity to generate some much-needed national exposure through the media. A uniquely designed, media-savvy business venture that was originally birthed in Memphis, exposure through the mainstream media has become an ever-so-popular trend, in large part because everyone has a compelling, inspiring story to tell. This platform undoubtedly allows individuals around the globe to share their success stories. Johnson is married to the former LaTambria Smith of Dallas. The couple has been married since September 14, 2019 and shares a blended family of four children.
