For the past twenty-five years the business of media & entertainment has been in the forefront of Matthew Johnson’s life.

On April 6, 2006 Matthew’s life took a change of direction. Matthew lost his “#1 girlfriend” to congestive heart failure-his mother. He spent her last 15 minutes holding his mother’s hand before she passed. This was a devastating lost to him- never losing anyone in his family that was so close to him.

Matthew is currently the Group Publisher of Girlfriends Health Guide for Everyday Women.  Founded in August 2006. This health guide is the only health guide in the country that targets women of color exclusively. Girlfriends Health Guide is distributed nationally with nearly 1 million readers.

Matthew continues to use his many years of media experience by creating Johnson Media Consulting. He recently formed the Johnson Media Consulting Firm that specializes in developing media curriculum for community media organizations and schools.
