Professional Summary

Dedicated Co-Founder, Creative Director, Fashion Designer, Media Producer, Poet, Visual Artist, and Advocate carrying forward the visionary legacy of Noneillah Entertainment LLC, originally founded by my son, the late Sean Cos Mason (Deshon Johnson). Sean created the empowering brand name "Noneillah" (evolving from "Nonillaah") in high school as his personal tagline, "No one is better than me", and established it in the music industry through songs, music videos, blogs, and an emerging t-shirt line.

Since 2012, I have built upon Sean's foundation, expanding into full fashion collections, runway shows, talk shows, podcasts, poetry integration, and philanthropy while preserving his mission of promoting artists, entertainment, news, fashion, and empowerment. Passionate collaborator and motivational speaker committed to "Fashion with a Cause" and honoring Sean's enduring motto: "Trust that no one is better than you."
