The Goodness of America
TV Program Celebrates Charities and Donors
On Sunday, March 6, ABC premiered a new hit series called Secret Millionaire, an import from England. On its first day on ABC, the show enjoyed 12.6 million viewers, and for good reason. It is a feel-good reality show that highlights the hard work and struggles of local charities, and provides those charities the opportunity to receive generous donations from charitable millionaires who volunteer for the charities incognito.
In the premiere of Secret Millionaire, viewers became familiar with Dani Johnson, who appeared as the secret millionaire. Johnson’s life story is incredible, and serves as a motivation for her generous spirit. Johnson grew up on welfare, became pregnant at 17, was homeless by 21, and became a millionaire by the age of 23. Only in America! Johnson became successful when she licensed a weight-loss product and eventually transitioned to starting a company manufacturing her own nutritional and skin-care products. She is now the entrepreneur of five companies, a best-selling author, and a motivational speaker.
Johnson rejected requests to appear on the show four times before she finally accepted, believing that the process of giving to charities should be done in secret. In an interview with The Christian Post, she explained that she had a revelation, however, after reading the Bible that she “was fighting God and that God was the one to open up the door and it was clear that He wanted this message to get out there.”
