I can honestly say this women is serious about her businesses. My daughter's best friend had her fairytale wedding at the Virginia Salamader. It was beyond my expectations. Because the hotel had to relocate the wedding on the site the bride and groom were refunded more than $30,000.00 which I believe was half the cost of the wedding. Same date, guest, dinner, and everything just moved it from one park area to another and the guest were totally unaware of the change. Wow!
lmfao... keep the dream alive. After 30yrs of Hillary, look around.... you have Dems cheering the mass murder of women and children, because the murderers buy them fancy gifts to look the other way tell lies. Women are going to change this?
I lived in an area where gentrification going on. They built a middle and high school pass this area. So now they are talking about a four lane road. This area has four black communities. Let me name them. Sunneyview, Uptheroad, lickskittle, Overtheroad and Turkeytown.😊 When I was a child when my parents be looking for us. Just name the place. They would know where to look. Tiny but big. Midway.....😮 I see it has a problem. First moved from Hwy52. now going through another area. Dividing the people and area.
I love Sheila Johnson. I have listened to her book twice. It is one of the best books I've read or listened to in life. I plan on listening to it at least every six months.
This is music music music to my ears. That is why people of the global majority need to be owners of things. Her story alone, with the the towns, businesses that she has strategically saved by being intentional is not what every person would see or could do without her contacts and leverage. Loved this!
Her book is by far one of the best that I have read. To understand where she is at, you have to understand where she comes from. Her story is so Compelling. God will bless you right in front of your enemies.
Wow, I wish she would have done that for a Black Community like Gary Indiana, Detroit Michigan, etc. Kudos to you and hopefully you can bring in black owned spirits to your hotel
Love to hear Sheila share what's important to her, unfortunately, the interviewer keeps diverting at the point in which Sheila is touching on something significant. You can tell that it is near and dear to her heart and then the interviewer throws an insignificant comment in there that almost diverts the audience away from the point Sheila is making.
❤ it's amazing that only 40,000 people viewed this particular clip. But you know what's really bizarre let you go to something that's really stupid or not informative it'll be trillions of views, this lady is on point.

@@Adinaproffitt-i4o Doesn’t sound like she was berating Middleburg because she said the town needed an infusion of cash. I read where some of the city council members who were first against her opening a business there have now been won over and appreciates the wealth and business that her resort is generating for the town. Having Johnson there is much better than having those data centers all over Loudon Country. Middleburg is a very beautiful place, and Johnson’s resort is unmatched.
Let's be truthful here. Salamander is without question the MAIN attraction in Middleburg. Yes, it's a nice town, but the financials were bad off. That's a fact. I went before and after Salamander resort. And Salamander honestly did change the town for better!
@@elijahb.3028 remind me again what was “boarded up” (as she puts it) before Salamander? The fact that you visited before shows it was already a tourist destination.
@@GarbanzoBean23 Ha. Total non-sequitur argument. I visited the town because a work colleague lived there. NOT because it was some tourist destination. I only revisit the area NOW because of Salamander. I think it's totally insane not to give credit where it's due. The fact remains, Salamander is far and wide the main attraction. It's a nice quaint town. No doubt. But I'm not exactly going there to shop at the Safeway. C'mon. Salamander's presence created a resurgence. Please at least accept that fact.
@@GarbanzoBean23 it was merely an expression and frankly it's a red herring. The larger and more SALIENT point is that Shelia Johnson played an incredibly important role in Middleburg's resurgence. All facts.
Why wait? Go out and do something yourself. After all that she has done to create diversity and inclusion, your best offering appears to be by way of a snide, narrow-minded remark. There's no time for this. Start moving up.
Impeccable performance, I admire your Dedication to the Black Elite Families, we All Love you, 🥰, 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤔❤️💎👑💯, May Christ Cover you, My Name is Renould Pierre, I would Love to Meet you in Person?
She said she tried to get her husband to change his focus, but he wouldn't. The better shows at that time ( the discussion show-forgotten the name) was produced by her. She worked for years at BET without pay and the money that started BET (the money that was NOT borrowed), came from her. She stopped her lucrative business to work for him and before she stopped, her business kept them afloat. So, she was never staying at home.
"Don't put your money into" documentaries? Maybe your intentions were in the wrong place in that mission. That's like saying you shouldn't invest in EDUCATION, because you won't get some type of 10X financial ROI. ...or maybe the wrong story tellers. ...or maybe the wrong audience. Who knows? Ken Burns seems to have done pretty well.
Documentaries are not profitable for the most part, and many need to be underwritten. Ken Burns docs are sponsored. Various organizations provide funding for docs, and most doc makers spend the vast majority of their time searching for funds. I am sure this is why she was not touting the making of one.
I read her book. She said the money that started BET (the money that wasn't borrowed) came from her. When BET was started, her lucrative business paid the household bills, because he wasn't making any money. Then he requested that she work at BET, which she did, for several years without pay, while he had an affair with an employee. The better shows were produced by her. She tried to get him to have better shows on BET, but he wouldn't. Her name was on the paperwork (starting BET) from the beginning.
She did not turn the town of MIddleburg VA around (it has never been in distress in the hundreds of years of it's existence. The town was ever bankrupt or boarded up either. What a joke.
I do support her and the campaign. Have visited her properties. But she is not self-made. She is the divorced wife of Bob Johnson founder of BET. She got her money from him.
She was the visionary and when he decided to divorce her and sell out. She made herself a portfolio that keeps on giving . Don't try to belittle her business savvy or intellectual abilities to create a lucrative career

Thanks so much for sharing...so good to see that some, like Sheila Johnson, Billionaires still have a heart and go beyond the call of duty silently!!!
I so love and admire this woman!
She's just so casually amazing. I love it!
💚✨💚✨💚✨ Auntie Sheila is one of THEM!!! I love you & thanks for being a brilliant light to the world!!!
Women will be the key to America’s success.
Darn right, because they want whats best for everyone and not just themselves. Women tend to be less greedy and not need $$$ for power.
lmfao... keep the dream alive. After 30yrs of Hillary, look around.... you have Dems cheering the mass murder of women and children, because the murderers buy them fancy gifts to look the other way tell lies. Women are going to change this?
She is a great business woman!
I love how you said you wanted your voice heard. Thank you for your service ❤

Looks like she was blessed by the works of her hands.

Steve McQueen died in 1980 by the way
Case study for sure. Taking notes📝
Would be dope to see her be apart of (EYL’s) InvestFest…
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Everyone I know whose been there has thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Lovely ❤
Here from tik tok for this
Mrs. Johnson has been a Billionaire for years she use to own BET with her ex-husband Mr.Johnson
WHAT city is this????
I said the same thing lol... this Salamander is located in Middleburg, VA, about 40 mins from Dulles Airport
Rehabilitating Middleburg??? That is hunt club country.
Tiny TOWN of Middleburg, she is liying her azz off about us and "WE" are mad about this trash interview.
Lies

Middleburg was not boarded up. It was already a destination town in the middle of Hunt Country.

This is the woman that married the judge who presided over her divorce.
…ok?
I’m waiting for her to this for an majority black community
She hires black people. That should be enough.
It's not as simple as you think or would hope. It's issues that come from both directions (Whites & Blacks) even in doing that. Smh
What are others doing for black communities
Why wait? Go out and do something yourself. After all that she has done to create diversity and inclusion, your best offering appears to be by way of a snide, narrow-minded remark. There's no time for this. Start moving up.
She’s not self made. She received a divorce settlement 👀👏👏👏

Wow
virginia is about to disrupt everything
Meanwhile she gave the other black people BET while she sat at homing playing the violin and horseback riding
She said she tried to get her husband to change his focus, but he wouldn't. The better shows at that time ( the discussion show-forgotten the name) was produced by her.

I’m sorry, are you a billionaire?

Self made? Self made from Divorcing her billionaire husband
Ian roberts you’re stupid. Her husband didn’t build BET by himself. She was instrumental in building the entertainment channel as well.
She also owns a part of NBA's WASHINGTON WIZARDS.
Caught him cheating with the secretary
I read her book. She said the money that started BET (the money that wasn't borrowed) came from her. When BET was started, her lucrative business paid the household bills, because he wasn't making any money. Then he requested that she work at BET, which she did, for several years without pay, while he had an affair with an employee. The better shows were produced by her.

I smell a hater 😂😂😂
@Beyloveseverybody Yep, they're everywhere...clueless hater...her work speaks for her and the haters dont like it and they can't they stop her.
Oh shit 😂she’s who they made fun of in that boondocks episode 😭
Wrong. That episode parodied Debra Lee, who succeeded Bob Johnson as CEO of BET.
I do support her and the campaign. Have visited her properties. But she is not self-made. She is the divorced wife of Bob Johnson founder of BET. She got her money from him.
She was the visionary and when he decided to divorce her and sell out. She made herself a portfolio that keeps on giving . Don't try to belittle her business savvy or intellectual abilities to create a lucrative career
You need to read her book, she’s definitely self-made and got what was due to her
When he married her, he upgraded, she had the connections and was co-founder of BET.
SHE WAS THE CO FOUNDER!!!!!
DEI would not have become so widely despised if people like her were doing it--but that's not always the case, unfortunately.
You just had to bring negativity into a beautiful conversation!

nah, yall would still hate it.
