DR. MISSY JOHNSON, Founder & CEO of Fearless Women Rock

DR. MISSY JOHNSON is affectionately known as “Miracle Missy“ after having survived three near-death experiences, forty-seven days in a coma, and Stage 3 breast cancer. Dr. Missy likes to remind people, “Tomorrow is not promised. Live life to the fullest as the best version of who you are. You don’t need acceptance or approval of anyone.”

Dr. Missy overcame a severe COVID-19 diagnosis last year and says that it’s God’s grace in her life that helps her overcome and be the motivation she is today. “Someone told (me) I don’t look like what I’ve been through — I got papers,” she said of her scars on her body and constant physical pain that tells her story. “Every day I am in pain; I don’t complain.”

Dr. Missy didn’t know if she would live or die, so she took to social media to show women the power of faith and trusting the process when you can't see it. She took women on the journey through social media, press releases, and interviews. Her resilience to fight moved a nation and elevated her business to the next level but, unknowingly it encouraged women to never give up or underestimated their story's power.

Dr. Missy's only mission was to live life on her own terms and give women hope in the face of adversity. During her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she continued coaching one client at a time, wrote a book one sentence at a time, and showed the world that their story matters.

Dr. Missy, now a professional Screenwriter, is also a Speaker, Author, and Coach. She has a women’s empowerment organization called Fearless Women Rock LLC. Dr. Missy has an organization called Fearless Women Rock (which she started in 2017) is a women-empowerment organization that is helping her share her story, which she said is not about her.

“(It may) be for somebody else,” she said, adding that people don’t have to have gone through near-death experiences like she did to tell their own stories. ”If you overcame anything in your life and could help somebody make a difference, your story needs to be told. Keep crafting your stories… whatever (is) the thing you overcame is the thing you got to teach.” More than ever, she believes your stories matter and plans. Dr. Missy had this to share with SISTAH Talk:
