Meet Anastia L. Johnson | Founder & CEO of ENVE34

We had the good fortune of connecting with Anastia L. Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anastia L., what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The idea of ENVE34 originated from my personal wellness journey and growing passion for well-being. As I delved deeper into wellness, I strongly desired to make a meaningful impact in this space. My experiences taught me the significance of a comprehensive approach to health, beyond just physical fitness, to encompass mental, social, and other dimensions of wellness, most often overlooked. I envisioned ENVE34 as more than just a fitness and lifestyle brand. It wasn’t simply about establishing a business; it aimed to initiate a movement with a special focus on women, encouraging them to embrace an active, well-balanced lifestyle.

Life is an ongoing journey of change, and we all have the power to actively transform our lives by prioritizing our wellness and taking charge by becoming architects of our own well-being. My individual path of exploring my fitness and health played a pivotal role in shaping this vision. I continue to experience firsthand how integrating various aspects of wellness can bring about profound personal transformation.

This understanding led me to “get active” and launch ENVE34. We continue to expand on a national platform offering support with immersive social experiences, affirmative activewear fashion, uplifting music, and an empowering community. We aim to inspire self-confidence and self-love while supporting individuals on a transformative wellness journey, emphasizing that wellness is more impactful when pursued collectively.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As a multifaceted CEO, I embrace eclectic aspects of my creativity, including that of a singer-songwriter. As a musician, I can delve into a rich tapestry of my artistic expression. Through a song’s lyrical storytelling and rhythmic melodies, I can breathe life into personal experiences, evoking vivid emotions and profound connections. Music possesses an extraordinary power – it can uplift, inspire, heal, and keep you moving to its beat. It also has significant health benefits, rendering it a powerful bridge linking creativity and well-being.

Combining music with my other artistic endeavors, such as fashion and fitness, is truly rewarding. Each facet of my artistry harmoniously contributes to the realm of holistic wellness. This beautiful synergy sets ENVE34 apart. It’s a place where diverse forms of art converge, creating a holistic well-being experience that is both cohesive and inspiring. I celebrate the profound role of artistic expression in nurturing overall wellness.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If a friend visited me, I would want to show them some of my favorite local spots. We’d take a leisurely stroll in the beautiful park nearby. There’s nothing like the fresh air and the tranquility of nature to make you feel alive and connected. I’d take them to some of the best vegan restaurants in town. Exploring vegan cuisine is a passion of mine, and I love introducing others to the delicious and healthy options available. And, of course, I’d like to share my love of dancing. We might find a local dancehall event or dance to some good music at home. It’s a fantastic way to let loose, have fun, and embrace the joy of movement.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’m deeply thankful to all those who have supported me on this journey. A heartfelt appreciation goes to my best friend, Barry Pierre, CEO of ADOT Technology. His continuous love, belief in me, and unwavering support have been a constant source of strength.

I also want to express my deep gratitude to Camile S. Daly of CSD Creations and Vincent Hamilton of Vinni Hamilton Production. These incredible individuals have brought their creativity and expertise to ENVE34 and have been loyal friends and partners in this journey.

A special acknowledgment goes to Broward College Entrepreneur Experience (BCEx) and The Visa & Bridge for Billions mentorship program. Both have played pivotal roles in my entrepreneurial growth, offering invaluable guidance and resources.

I want to recognize NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Broward County, Florida, and North Texas, for their inspiring collaborations. Their dedication to mental health advocacy resonates deeply with our mission at ENVE34 and aligns with our shared values and vision for a healthier society. I’m truly grateful for the meaningful work we’ve done together and our impact.

My gratitude extends to my mentors, Kevin Shine of Writing Session America, Pastor Emmanuel Mkubwa from Family Praise Tabernacle, and my godfather, James Golden. Their leadership, support, and encouragement have been instrumental in my professional development and significantly contributed to my personal growth.
