Dr. Minina Johnson — known to her audience as Dr. Jaye — spent twenty years building a career in defense contracting and enterprise program management, leading programs with a cumulative portfolio value exceeding $500 million. She holds a Doctorate in Business Administration, carries PMP® and Certified Diversity Professional® certifications, and has spent much of her career as the only woman — often the only Black woman — in the room. She is the curator of Be ambitiouslyH.E.R.™, a movement built around a simple, hard-won belief: that Heroic, Edgy, and Resilient are not traits you have to earn — they're already in you, waiting to be embraced and lived out loud. Her work helps women manifest those attributes into who they're becoming, or recognize them in who they've already become. Her proprietary frameworks — including the H.E.R. SMART Framework™ and the F.E.A.R. Framework™ — translate two decades of operational discipline into tools for women rebuilding their careers, businesses, and lives on their own terms. Be ambitiouslyH.E.R.™: A Journey of Becoming Heroic, Edgy, and Resilient is her first book — part memoir, part methodology, and a direct extension of the belief she has built her practice on: that the most powerful thing any leader can do is refuse to operate as a smaller version of herself. Dr. Jaye is also the Founder and Principal Consultant of Greater Ambitions LLC, a diversity-owned program management and operations consultancy.
