Dyeimia Johnson

Hi Dyeimia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
I’m Dyeimia Johnson, and my journey has been one of passion and purpose. With a deep love for creativity and a special fondness for scented candles, I was at a crossroads at 40. Unhappy with my job, I knew I needed something that resonated with my soul. I delved into researching fragrance blending and various candle waxes, and my heart settled on the beauty of coconut wax blends. Countless trials with wicks and vessels followed, almost a year of testing, to be exact. And then, a turning point. I knew it was time to transform my passion into reality and share it with the world. I believed every aspect of my brand had to reflect the luxury and allure I cherished while shopping. This personal touch birthed MIA|JOHN, a fusion of my name. MIA|JOHN isn’t just a brand; it’s an extension of my essence. In just a year, we’ve grown exponentially, finding a home in several independent stores, including Blank Slates at the Tanger Outlet. We have even graced the pages of British Vogue. This journey has proven that following your passion can truly create something remarkable.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Creating MIA|JOHN has been an incredible journey despite its challenges. The toughest part has been building trust with consumers who already have their favorite brands. Convincing them that our products are not only on par but possibly even better has been a hurdle. Being a new company, I completely understand their skepticism. However, with dedication, perseverance, and the quality of our products, we’re slowly but surely breaking through those barriers and making our mark in the world of home fragrance.

As you know, we’re big fans of MIA|JOHN. What can you tell our readers who might need to be more familiar with the brand?

We’re known for our luxurious packaging that mirrors the luxury I cherish while shopping. This attention to detail, from fragrance creation to packaging design, is something I’m incredibly proud of. I want readers to know that when they choose MIA|JOHN, they’re not just purchasing a product but inviting a captivating fragrance experience into their homes.

What do you like and dislike about the city?
Charleston is undeniably a charming city. The rich history, the picturesque streets, and the warm hospitality create a unique atmosphere that resonates with us. And, of course, the incredible food scene. It’s difficult to find anything negative about Charleston.
