In the first part of my conversation with Janique Johnson, a renowned TV presenter in Germany, we continue drifting naturally between personal stories, identity, beauty, family and laughter — exactly the way conversations tend to unfold when two people genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

Born in Washington, D.C. to an African-American father and a German mother, Janique moved to Germany at the age of five and grew up bilingually from the very beginning. Her mother made a conscious effort to establish both languages early on — something that would later make arriving and growing up in Germany much easier for her.

We talk about the way we first met, about style and self-expression, about curls and hair journeys, and about the joy and tenderness surrounding the upcoming birth of her daughter. (We filmed this episode end March 2026, shortly before Janique’s due date.)

As it often happens when speaking to friends, the conversation occasionally wanders off into unexpected directions — which, is part of the charm. :-) I named the episode "CROWN" since Janique referred to this very song of mine in another interview - one she took - saying how much she loves the song. It's also another beautiful way to greet her (upcoming) little girl who was born at the beginning of April 2026.
