She is also the creator and host of the beloved YouTube Podcast “Give Me Hope with Johanna,” where she shares messages of encouragement, life wisdom, and spiritual insight with viewers around the world.

🌼 HER VISION

Her vision for The Prestigious International Hope Book Awards is simple but profound, to celebrate and uplift books that bring healing, courage, resilience, and spiritual restoration to the world. She created these awards because she believe that hope is not just an emotion — it is a lifeline. Stories have the power to guide us through grief, rebuild us after trauma, strengthen our faith, and remind us that no matter what we face, we are never alone.

Every category in this awards program reflects a different pathway of hope: survival, healing, faith, renewal, cultural strength, inspirational truth, and the courage to keep going. She want authors to know that their work matters — deeply. She want readers to discover books that will change their lives.

Her vision is to build an international community of authors and readers brought together through the universal language of Hope. Through Recognition, Encouragement, and Celebration, we plant the seeds that will grow into Healing future generations.

🕊 HER MISSION

As CEO, author, creative visionary, and host, her mission is: To shine a light on inspirational voices whose books bring emotional or spiritual renewal.

To honor authors who write from the heart, turning pain into purpose. To build a global platform where hope-filled literature is celebrated with dignity and excellence. To use her voice, her platform, and her gifts to uplift others and remind them of their worth. To create an atmosphere of compassion, truth, and transformation through every book, every message, and every author we acknowledge.

Through God’s grace and the strength of her own journey, she has learned that hope is the most powerful thing we can give another human being.

This is the heart of everything she do.
