Jamillah Yaasmin Johnson

Philadelphia, Pa

Experienced professional with a passion for small business development, marketing, branding, social media, creative writing and blogging. Industries of expertise include entertainment, sports, fashion, publishing and online media.

As a consultant, I assist entrepreneurs by developing business plans, providing strategic insight in maximizing promotional spending and opportunities, new market breakthrough, and building web presence via websites, blogs and social media.

For five years, I was the content editor and blogger at Hip Hop Moguls (now archived at hiphopmoguls.info) and have contributed to several online entertainment, fashion & lifestyle sites.

I've also broken ground in my own endeavors through the creation of Literary Candy Books and have published seven books to date: The Black Magnolia Society (2008), Queens of the South (2009), More Than A Woman (2011), Love is a House (2012), Uptown Hustle (2013), 70 Tips for Women in Business: A Guide to Get Unstuck (2013), Uptown Hustle 2 (2014), and The Dreamprint (2015). Four were Amazon Kindle bestsellers, and three hit #1.

In 2011, I co-founded #100BusinessGirls {.a.networking. social.} for socially ambitious and creative entrepreneurs and professionals. We currently host meetups in Philadelphia and New York City with more cities to be added. For more information please visit www.100BusinessGirls.com.
