As a women’s studies major, LC Johnson studied the prejudices and inequalities many women — especially women of color — face in the workplace. Still, for most of her undergraduate studies, LC couldn't bring herself to claim the title of feminist.
Today, there's no doubt LC is an advocate for women and a force of positive change. Upon graduating, she worked as an incubator to help entrepreneurs launch and grow their startups and saw some of the gender dynamics she so intimately studied play out firsthand. She started her blog Colored Girl Confidential as a place to explore these issues and now, LC is an entrepreneur herself, running her blog and working consulting, speaking and coaching jobs.
Want to get a taste for LC's style, personality and ability to lift your mood? Check out Colored Girl Confidential's video, the Red Lipstick Manifesta. It's very much inspired by the notion that successful women don’t just blindly follow the rules — they're rebels; challenging the assumptions of what everyone thinks is possible, chasing down their “unrealistic” dreams and eventually creating lives and careers they love. Just like LC.
