Exploring Life & Business with Mary Johnson of Vitiman Kandie

 

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mary Johnson.

Hi Mary, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started my journey back in 2009 after I was tired of being 120 lbs overweight, a failed marriage, and really just wanting to get my life back. I found a local gym, signed up, started working and eating healthy and lost the weight. In 2010 I became a group fitness trainer and started teaching others to do what I did. That same year I began making cold pressed juice “Vitiman Kandie” to help with my digestive tract. I lost so much weight in a short period of time and it cause my normal flow to become offset. My juices not only helped me get regular, they also helped me keep the weight off, my skin began to glow, and I never got sick. I began helping my friends and the rest is history. In 2015, Vitiman Kandie was created and sales increased. In 2016, VK fitness studio was created to help clients on a personal level, and in 2019 Vitiman Kandie Cafe locations were open. I specialize in health and wellness and the best way for me to help my clients was through food, herbs, and all natural products.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it has not been a smooth road. I encountered some bumps after pouring all of my savings into my fitness studio only to close it. I took a step out on faith to follow my dreams and for that reason, I appreciated the sacrifice. I learned a lot about myself and my passion and now I have VKC that’s changing lives daily.

As you know, we’re big fans of Vitiman Kandie. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
“Vitiman Kandie’s innovative line of natural herbs and juices that offers nutrition on the go for hopeful spirits in pursuit of improving their personal health. If you are looking for a holistic approach to your wellness journey, Vitiman Kandie is your answer.”

We specialize in vegan gourmet meals, cold pressed juices, and all natural herbs. We are known for our delicious daily vegan specials. What sets me apart from others is I am my brand, I am a walking billboard because all of my products work, and have worked for me since 2010. I am most proud of becoming a self published author and helping others for over 10 years.

I would like for the readers to visit my website at vitimankandie.com and please visit my cafe located at 1400 E105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio.

What does success mean to you?
I define success as “Beating the odds of most African American (considered poor and incapable) families that come from low-income neighborhoods and breaking generational curses.”
