In a second-floor boutique called the Enchanted Closet, where teen girls come hoping to look perfect if only for a night, Bonita Johnson talks about the moment she knew her mission in life was to help those same girls believe in themselves.
.....She was a freshman at Tuskegee University pursuing a biology degree when, she said, the notion came to her to make a difference in the lives of young women who were growing up feeling alone, insecure and misunderstood.
"That was me," said Johnson, dressed in her signature Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority pink.

When she decided she wanted to begin to effect change in the lives of young women on a larger scale, she said she became a member of the board of directors of the Enchanted Closet. This nonprofit teaches life skills and provides free formal wear to teenage girls attending prom, homecoming, JROTC balls, and other events, who otherwise couldn't afford it.
What a wonderful positive story!
