Instructor: Elaine Johnson

Elaine Johnson is an award-winning serial entrepreneur, educator, and speaker. She is best known for her role as the Founder and Executive Director of Latinas in Motion—a national organization created to encourage women of color to get active. Elaine inspires and empowers women across the world to exercise and adopt healthy habits. This self-proclaimed "Mogul Mami" is an all-around inspiration—as much for her contagious energy as her willingness to break stereotypes.

In 2017, Elaine created a tool to help women dream out loud: Plan, Pray & Prosper—The Planner. This is not an ordinary planner; this fully functional tool was designed to help dreamers execute a plan for whole life success. Elaine has sold hundreds of copies worldwide. In 2022, she established a partnership with SNIPES to teach a personal development course to over one hundred aspiring entrepreneurs.

Elaine holds a Master of Science in Higher Education from Drexel University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from Bloomsburg University.
