Born Diane E. Davis, on December 1, 1947 to a family of eight girls and four boys, 12 family siblings in all. I grew up on the south side of the "Windy City", of Chicago, Illinois, attended both Catholic and public schools, and  also attended a state university, majoring in Business Administration.

   Married 57 years to my high school sweetheart, Lucius Johnson, Sr., we were blessed with three sons, Lucius, Jr., Carl, and Joey, four granddaughters, and one grandson. Bowling was part of my passion, and I was also actively involved in my church’s Food Pantry , praise dancing, and bible classes. My husband and I are presently involved in her co-operative housing unit, volunteering their time for special events, fund raising, and tree planting. We have lived there for 47 years.      

    Beginning in 1987, my oldest son, Lucius, Jr. received a diagnosis of HIV. To track his illness, I started documenting his doctor visits and medications on ledger notes. I also began maintaining a health journal to record our sons' medical appointments and prescribed medications. Over time, this journal expanded into a comprehensive Medical & Dental Health Journal, complete with sections for Family, History, Prescriptions, and Notes. Unfortunately, as time passed, Lucius's HIV progressed to AIDS, and in the autumn of 1999, we lost our beloved son.

    April of 2008, I joined a group called Chicago First Black Inventors/Entrepreneurs Organization, CFBIEO which opened up new opportunities for my invention . This health journal was displayed in Chicago’s Du Sable Museum during a conference in 2009, along with 20 other Black Inventors. The Medical and Dental Health Journal was also sold at almost 50 Health Conferences during 2009-2012, throughout the Chicago land area.

    Several investors assisted me in getting my invention to a printed hard copy. This allowed me to sell my journal books in a major pharmacy, actually 15 stores, in the suburb and southside of Chicago, during the years 2009 and 2010. This process allowed me to show the impact and value of my invention.

    Joining the online group PBS (Private Bankers Society) and leveraging their assistance, along with my team of family members, I was able to realize my dream of an eBook and physical copies of my journal. Utilizing social media outlets for promotion will help me reach a wider audience and create more awareness about the benefits of recording one's medical history.

    I hope to continue to make a positive impact on people's lives, through health journaling.
