Nicole Johnson
Today, Nicole serves as a motivational speaker addressing topics of positivity and being an overcomer. Throughout her term as Miss America, Nicole has proved to be an effective fundraiser. She is credited with helping raise over $12 million for diabetes research. In addition, she has lobbied the U.S. Congress six times on behalf of medical research and funding issues, and has helped pass diabetes-related legislation in 3 states. However, she says her work is far from finished. Nicole also speaks of her faith and the tremendous influence it has had on her perception of life and personal success. “I have been given back my life twice. I wouldn’t be the person I am today had it not been for my strong and grounded faith, principles, and clear rules for living.” Credentials: National Spokesperson, Board of Directors, American Diabetes Association National Celebrity Spokesperson and Advocate, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Chairperson, High Hopes Fund - Joslin Diabetes Center Distinguished Alumni Award, Regent University, Virginia Beach, VA C.
