Women Crush Wednesday: Kia Johnson
We find out what the radio presenter gets up to behind-the-scenes!
She’s interviewed the likes of International Chef Gordon Ramsay, pastry extraordinaire Eric Lanlard, funnyman John Cleese, WWE’s Justin Gabriel, and tons of other local and international media personalities; but not many know exactly what makes Kia Johnson herself tick.
We caught up with the Radio 2000 DJ and businesswoman to find out a little more about the woman behind the voice.
Describe yourself in 5 words:
Feisty, Talkative, Kind, Fun, Loud
Relationship status?
Engaged
What’s your idea of the perfect date?
I’m quite down to earth and not easily impressed by flashy material items but I’m a sucker for good food, so that makes it harder to please me. If it was our first date a night concert at Kirstenbosch Gardens or my favourite restaurant would be just perfect. If we have gotten to a level in our relationship where things are comfortable you can easily entice me with flowers, candles and a dinner you’ve cooked for me at home.
