Meet Jakeel Johnson | Influencer & Fashion

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

Hi Jakeel, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think risk is a decision that requires determination in order to know the risk you choosing to take is going to bring you something bigger and better. Everything I have done in life I have take a risk whether it was getting a new job, quitting a job without nothing next coming or starting my own brand my own business which is a big risk to my success.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart is my passions for computers and learning how to identify threats and also how to protect a network within . As a kid, I was always fascinated about using the internet I use to help everyone with the resume and how to pass job assessments. I first went to school for computer science which it was very challenging to do coding but I graduated with my associates degree. I changed my major and dived into Information Technology with concentration in cybersecurity. It was definitely a challenge having to stay up long nights while working more than one job in order to maintain a live able lifestyle but also enhance my lifestyle to get to the next level. My brand is all about building wealth within and that just mean learn how to build wealth within yourself and actually invest in yourself , bet on yourself because no one can do you better than your self and you have to take yourself serious.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I like to do stuff I never did before so I would go to Indie House of Modern Fragrance and make my own cologne. Then I would head over to Roc South Cuisine and get that good ole hot honey fried chicken with the Mac and cheese and collard greens. You know you have to get the good fresh sweet tea.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have been on a long journey from finding my way to grinding each and every day. Without my family and the type of support I have I feel I wouldn’t have thrived the way I did. Everyone would come to me with the expectation that I should know and that’s how I been raised that I should better and knowing better make you do better. My own family I have created is something I put first foremost everyday in order to create a better life for us and to make sure nothing but love is centered around the picture. I always use to be like why me but now I thank my parents for how they taught me to be confident in only my self but my decisions. Taught me more than just life but wisdom where I have been able to maneuver through this journey we call life.
