BASIC FINANCE HELPING YOU PLAN FOR TOMORROW … TODAY. INSTRUCTOR HIGHLIGHT: NICKA JOHNSON Nicka Johnson is the owner and founder of Budget to Success, LLC, that teaches the importance of financial literacy to help bridge the economic gap focusing on budgeting, savings and credit. Five years ago, she began using her social media platform to help educate others about their relationship with money. Growing up in poverty, Johnson was no stranger to overcoming adversity. She grew up in a single-parent home and quickly learned that her family dynamics may shape who she is, but they won’t determine who she will become. As she continues to break barriers and build futures, she supports individuals by helping them define the level of success they desire through budgeting, savings and credit. Not only is Johnson a business owner and community activist, she is also a devoted wife and mother. This multifaceted and talented woman loves cultivating meaningful relationships with everyone she comes in contact with. Her visionary perspective has earned her opportunities to work with the Susan Buffett Foundation, the TeamMates Mentoring program and speaking engagements teaching about economic development. Although she has accomplished a lot within a short time, the journey for Johnson has just begun.
