Topic: Legal Tools to Protect Your Intellectual Property and How to use Them

This month's speaker is: Nicole Johnson

Bio

• I’m a serial entrepreneur and attorney who teaches busy entrepreneurs how to use traditional legal tools to in today’s digital world. In other words, I help you protect your content from copycats, register your business, avoid costly mistakes, and how to better make and KEEP your coins.

  Here’s a bit about me:

• My pronouns are she, her, hers. Everyone is welcome here.
• I’m Black….capital B. I recognize that systemic racism impacts how we do business and our access to key support, like legal services. And being part of a profession that historically excluded people who look like me, is one of the reasons I’m here, doing this work.
• Throughout my childhood and early adult life, I experienced several stints of homelessness. Simply put, we were poor. My desire to provide affordable legal services stems from my experiences of living below and above the poverty line.
• I spent a lot of time in school. I actually love to nerd out and learn all the things. 
• I earned two degrees from Howard University. I attended law school at the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law.
• I’m no stranger to hard work and sacrifice. Throughout undergrad, grad school, and law school, I worked full-time. So I’m not wasting your hard earned money with fluff.
• I’m also an entrepreneur. Over the years, I’ve started several small businesses. Some have failed, most have been successful. When I tell you that I understand the time and effort you’ve put into your business, I mean it. I want to protect all that you’ve built.
• When I’m not working, I homeschool my daughter, explore nature, and make never-ending to do lists for my partner.
