Dr. Leah Johnson Short Bio
Dr. Leah Johnson is an NFEC Certified Financial Education Instructor℠ who found that the hundreds of families she assisted through numerous educational challenges had common problems--deficiency of financial resources for everyday provisions; parents without pensions or retirement plans; children experiencing academic disparities; lack of financial resources for college tuition, food, clothing, and other educational expenses. Due to the scarcity of financial literacy for "everyday people" and knowledge regarding savings accumulation, Dr. Johnson, who is life/health licensed in 23 states, has led many efforts, which provided financial literacy and leadership to several organizations.
Dr. Leah Johnson launched the Elite Publishing Company in May 2014, and released her first book, No More White Flags! – 25 Parenting Strategies for Successful African American Students, in June 2014. Dr. Johnson has three earned degrees—a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management/Finance; a Master’s degree in Organizational Management; and a Doctorate degree in Education, with an emphasis in Leadership and Change. All programs were completed with a 4.0 GPA, which resulted in many academic awards and recognition.
Dr. Johnson provides financial literacy workshops, keynote speaking, and program development in the Sacramento, Solano, and San Francisco Bay Area Counties. She also serves S-Corps, C-Corps, and LLCs with tax-free strategy planning for retirement years. Dr. Johnson eagerly assists organizations throughout the United States that are excited about building financial education programs for youth and young adults.
