[custom_adv] One of the things millions of women appreciate about her is her confidence and directness. Jo-ani has at times expressed her frustrations of being mistaken as “mixed” or wearing a weave because of her long natural hair which she prefers to wear straight. [custom_adv] Jo-ani Johnson is an African American woman who is blowing people away with her natural beauty. She is 67 years old now and she is strikingly beautiful and elegant. [custom_adv] The reason why I’m blogging about her tonight for Black History Month is because of how well she tackled how society views aging women when it comes to beauty. [custom_adv] Earlier this year ESSENCE tapped the ageless beauty for its feature on embracing gray hair at any age. Since then, she’s been booked and busy. Appropriately enough, she’s currently working on a partnership with Vaseline for their #ListenToYourMom campaign. [custom_adv] Since it’s one of her go to products that was incorporated in her beauty routine by her mom since she was a kid, it makes sense. We got the chance to catch up with Johnson during a photoshoot and we jumped on it. [custom_adv] JoAni Johnson is living proof that no matter what age you are, you can still live out your wildest dreams. This professional renaissance and pivot into the fashion and beauty worlds came as a complete shock to her, but she’s handling it well.
