Teaching children to choose truth over comfort is one of the values Maria Lovelace Johnson says has kept her children out of trouble.

The Director of Regional Operations at the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) believes honesty and discipline remain critical tools in raising responsible children.

Maria Lovelace Johnson also opened up about a near-death experience after the birth of her second child, revealing that she was once clinically declared dead but survived.

Despite the traumatic experience, she recovered and went on to pursue her career ambitions, eventually rising through the ranks to become a senior official at the FDA.

She is now encouraging women not to allow gender stereotypes or societal expectations to limit their dreams and ambitions.

According to her, women can succeed in both family life and professional careers if they remain determined and focused.

Maria Lovelace Johnson shared her story in an interview with Joy News for the series My Mother, My World.
