Carmi L. Johnson is a woman of many trades.  She is a high school graduate, stationary engineer, laboratory technician, custodian, manicurist and author.  Carmi has written two books Mommy Why Did You Choose Your Boyfriend Over Me? and Wasted Waters.  Wasted Waters is a book that deals with racism in the San Francisco, Bay area.

Some of the proceeds from the sale of Johnson's book, Mommy, why did you choose your boyfriend over me?, will go towards helping pay for Kaila's college education.  The first chapter explains how Kaila's mother abandoned her for a boyfriend.  The mother has been with this man for three years.  Kalila's biological father is left with the task of raising her.

Carmi L. Johnson has two children of her own and cannot image the thought of leaving her children for a man.  Visit Ms. Johnson's web site at http://www.carmijohnson.com

This book is for all women who are in positions of power, who are not assertive but have to be strong in order to handle any situation that may come their way. To these women I say' never give up' that's what "they" want you to do.

All of the situations actually occurred and are accurate. However, names and locations have been changed. Most cases are composites of actual people and experiences.

On July 26, 2001, an employee placed a hangman's noose for Carmi. To this day, the male employee has not come forward and is still working at the Sewage Treatment plant.
