Past Event: Sheila Johnson

In one of the most meaningful evenings of the Salamander Author Series, we were honored to welcome our visionary founder and CEO, Sheila Johnson, for a powerful and deeply personal conversation around her memoir, Walk Through Fire. With candor and grace, Johnson shared stories from her extraordinary life - spanning her groundbreaking achievements in music, media, business, and philanthropy - and the lessons learned along the way. Her reflections illuminated themes of perseverance, purpose, and the power of forging one’s own path, resonating deeply with our guests and community.

The evening began with a reception featuring wine and light bites, followed by a heartfelt discussion moderated by a close friend and colleague. Guests participated in an intimate Q&A and had the opportunity to engage one-on-one with Sheila during a book signing. This unforgettable event reflected the warmth, authenticity, and sense of belonging at the heart of Salamander’s mission - and served as a celebration of the remarkable journey of the iconic woman who started it all.
