I am Stacey Felicia Johnson, youngest of 11 children and the Founder and Director of the Association of African American Single Mothers. I
developed the program first of all out of my great love for God and my gratefulness that He brought me through very difficult situations
combined with my need to help and protect children.
This program has very little to do with who I am but I thought it was important to let people know that this program was developed by someone
who is just like the people it tries to help.
I was born in 1964 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement and I attribute that to my fire to fight for my people and my need to do so. I have
six brothers, four sisters. My father Bill Johnson was a founder of the famous "Golden Gate Quartet of the 20's and 30's and my mother Willa
Mae must have been a saint, but many would beg to differ. Anyway, they raised us all in fine style although as I look back, I think we were
poor but we did not live poor. They always stressed the importance of God, education and living in a way in which you will demand respect.
All of my brothers and sisters have achieved success in one area or another and there is no doubt that we were very blessed kids.
After going round and round about my career and coming to the realization that I eventfully wanted to be self-employed I graduated with a B.S
in Electronics in 1989 and became self employed in 1992, repairing pagers ad cell phones in the height of the pager boom.
I married in 1989 and had two sons. And oh yes I was a "baby's momma" from 1988 to 1989 when I married, for those of you who thought I
was not really like most of single mothers out there! My first child, Jyssica (pronounced Jessica) was born in 1988, my oldest son Freddie was
born in 1990 and my youngest son is Christopher and he was born in 1992.
My marriage ended in 1994 what I guess could be technically called abandonment and the real fun began. I ran my business until 2001 until
the industry changed so much that it made more sense to do something else. Long story short it all ended in extreme financial difficulty for
me and the beginning of my personal relationship with Jesus. From that point on I experienced a complete turn around and began to get
blessed over and over and overcoming what seemed to be impossible circumstances.
I have always had a heart for helping people and a deep love for children, it just comes natural. I love children and hate to see them live in
situations that could be avoided. I also hate to see them living a life of an adult when they are still just kids. They deserve our very best and
the Association of African American Single Mothers is my attempt to help single mothers everywhere to do their best.
Please enjoy the pictures of my kids, they are my pride and joy. Jyssica is now 20, Freddie is 17 and Chris is 15. We will update the photos
as the weeks and months go by
Always,
Stacey
