In a world obsessed with perfection, Cleanne Johnson reminds us that true beauty begins within — in the quiet moments of self-acceptance, in the strength to rewrite your own story, and in the courage to love yourself as you are.
An author, dietitian, podcaster, and poet, Cleanne’s voice carries both warmth and wisdom — a soulful blend of resilience and radiance that touches hearts around the world. But her journey toward self-love began far from the spotlight, in the Caribbean, where a young girl learned to turn pain into poetry.
From Bullying to Belief
Growing up without a father figure, Cleanne’s early years were marked by challenge. “Life wasn’t always a bag of roses,” she recalls. “I was bullied at school because of how I looked and what I wore. We couldn’t afford brand-name clothes.”
She remembers her mother, a single parent working two jobs, trying her best to make ends meet. “One day, she bought me a Mr. T book bag. I loved it, but at school, it became something to mock. They started calling me ‘Mrs. T.’ I hated the name-calling, but my mom couldn’t buy me another bag.”
For many children, such moments leave lasting wounds — and they did for Cleanne, too. But she found an escape through creativity. “Reading and writing became my safe haven,” she says. “They gave me freedom from the noise and the bullying.”
During school breaks, she would come alive — singing, dancing, and telling stories to her family. “Those were the times I felt most like myself — happy, expressive, safe.”
But everything changed when she moved to Canada as a teenager. One small moment — a simple encounter — would transform her forever.
“I was taking the train in Edmonton when a woman looked at me and said, ‘You are beautiful and gorgeous.’ I was stunned. No one had ever said that to me before.”
That single sentence cracked something open inside her.
“I went home, looked in the mirror, and asked myself — what did she see in me? Since that day, I have told myself every morning: I am beautiful and gorgeous.”
It was a turning point that reshaped not only how she saw herself, but how she would one day inspire others.
The Power of Words
For Cleanne, words became more than just a creative outlet — they became her medicine.
Her writing explores themes of self-love, healing, and identity, echoing her belief that the stories we tell ourselves shape the lives we live. “That woman on the train made me realize something powerful,” she says. “If a stranger could see beauty in me, why couldn’t I?”
From that moment, she began to use affirmations as her daily armor — rewriting her internal dialogue, one truth at a time. “My challenge was believing I wasn’t enough,” she admits. “But through affirmations, I learned to love myself, to see beauty when I looked in the mirror.”
That inner transformation became the foundation for her voice as an author and speaker. Whether through her books, podcast, or poetry, Cleanne inspires others to rediscover their worth and embrace the power of authenticity.
A Voice for Self-Love and Authenticity
Today, Cleanne Johnson stands as a beacon for anyone learning to love themselves after pain. Her message is simple yet profound: You are enough.
“Helping others love and accept who they are is what makes me most proud,” she says. “To see people embrace their uniqueness, to believe in themselves again — that’s everything.”
Her podcast and writing reach audiences across continents, blending her Caribbean warmth with the wisdom of experience. Her words invite reflection — not from a place of perfection, but from growth, vulnerability, and grace.
“I wouldn’t change anything about my life,” she says firmly. “Every challenge, every heartbreak — it all shaped who I am. It made me stronger, purposeful, and grateful. It taught me to persevere, even in adversity.”
Becoming the Woman Within
Cleanne’s journey is not about seeking validation; it’s about reclaiming self-worth. What began as a childhood defense mechanism — writing to escape — evolved into her greatest gift: storytelling that heals.
Her life stands as proof that transformation doesn’t always come from grand moments, but from small acts of self-kindness. “That one compliment — that moment with a stranger — gave me the courage to start seeing myself through new eyes,” she reflects.
Her story now echoes through her creative platforms, urging others to find beauty in their own reflection, to rise above judgment, and to live authentically.
“I am grateful for every part of my journey,” she says softly. “Because when you love yourself, everything changes — how you walk, how you speak, how you dream.”
The Legacy of Love
At her core, Cleanne Johnson is more than an author or creator — she is a teacher of presence, purpose, and possibility. Her voice reminds us that healing isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about remembering who we’ve always been.
Through her poetry, her podcast, and her radiant energy, she continues to uplift others — one story, one affirmation, one soul at a time.
And perhaps the most beautiful part of her journey is this: she’s still writing it.
