Now that I have started booking acting roles, I am now thinking about the larger scale of life and that is balancing everything. My clothing line is pretty much only updating the basics so I need to drop a collection or two to keep the brand hot while I'm popping or else it will end up being one of those brands that you never hear about.

VenusStyles has been doing moderately well over the past couple of years which is why I want to use this time to drive the sales and take it to new heights. I have started rebranding VenusStyles to showcase a range of aesthetics and make the quality a lot better by testing new materials.

"You are quickly becoming the IT girl." Amber Murphy nudges after we have taken a selfie. "I see you're trying to take my spot."

I laugh at her words, "I wish."

"Hot girl walk." Iris holds her phone higher up to film us walking and I flash the camera smile before flipping my hair as she ends the recording. "We are the moment."

"We really are." I say in agreement since our social media presence has blown up over the past couple of weeks and I'm intrigued to see whether that will last or die down soon. "That's why now is the time to act on things while we're hot because all the opportunities are presenting themselves."

"Iris you've been doing your little vloggy vlogs but I haven't seen any uploads yet." Amber gives her a look as she takes a sip of her iced latte. "I keep refreshing the page but nada."

"Bitch." Iris playfully kisses her teeth before giggling to herself. "The videos are coming, I just need to make sure that I do things right so that I don't end up with any broken friendships or lawsuits because ya'll be talking all your shit when I'm vlogging."

"It's called giving you content." I wink at her. "But we appreciate the censorship because we be putting all our business out there."

"We need to do a girls trip." Iris says while checking her steps on her watch. "I miss the old days where we would just fly out to random destinations. Now everyone is booked and busy-"

"And all our skins are clear." Amber dramatically adds and we laugh. "Thank you Jesus."

"Them pockets are getting full." I add while doing a little dance. "That one movie is making me more money than I could have ever happened and I want to use that to further push myself to grow whether it be in acting or fashion."

Amber looks at me, "You know that you will always have us to model for your brand or even collaborate." 

"And I'm a good makeup artist so if one bails on you then I'll do everybody's makeup." Iris winks at me and I give her hand a squeeze. "We're still so young with time to grow so sometimes we have to jump into the pool to see what it's really like out there."

"What are we doing once we reach the end?" I ask Amber who is looking down at her phone.

"We're going to do a ten minute leg workout by some Pamela chick then we'll do a walk around a quarter of the park then jog for a quarter, run for a quarter and finally finish off with a walk." Amber looks up at us with a smile. "Sounds simple enough."

AmerieJohnson: Looks like a movie star, sounds like a pornstar

Receiving my own invite to award shows and events is pretty surreal considering that I used to be a plus one for the longest time. People never really checked for me since I was just Dwayne Johnson's only child and nothing more but now I'm more than just a nepo baby.

"Stay there one moment." My dad tells me as he sticks his head out of the window and I start laughing as he starts taking pictures of me. "There's my baby girl, looking all good for homecoming."

"Dad." I cover my face in embarrassment but he pays me no mind as he continues to snap away. 

"I'm making an instagram video so don't forget to shout out your brand." He tells me while giving me the thumbs up and I put on my game face as I begin strutting over to him as he cheers me on. "Who made that dress?"

"Amerie Johnson." I place my hand on my hip. "ByAmerie formerly known as VenusStyles."

"Work that driveway, baby." My dad chuckles before ending the video and we share a sweet embrace as he steps out of the car. "You never fail to surprise me with your beauty."

"You can thank mom for that." I wink at him as he chuckles. 

"I think we both know that without me, there would be no you so let's give daddy some love to." He nudges me before holding open the door for me and I stick my tongue out at him as I get him. "Real attractive."

"Still look better than you."

"Keep talking like that and I'll start leaking your school pictures." He smiles big as my face drops. "That's what I thought."

Our forty minute drive to the venue allows us to talk about our goals in life and how we feel about the recent changes in our lives. Prior to working together on To the Moon and Back, my father had never worked on a project outside of the home with my mother or I so this experience changed his perspective of having his family in the business.

"Dwayne and Amerie Johnson."

A small smile forms on my lips as my father and I pose on the red carpet for the hundreds of people calling out to us. Hearing people ask about my dress or compliment me makes me feel giddy on the inside.

My dad is out here plugging my brand to anyone asking about my dress and it only makes me turn an unattractive shade of red. I love that my dad is willing to promote my brand on multiple platforms and I only wish that I could be more like that.

"If you don't have this dress on your site in every color then I'm going to kill you." Tracee Ellis Ross jokes as she gives my shoulders a squeeze. "I'm in literal awe of how beautiful you have grown up to be and baby, I need that workout routine."

Her words warm my heart, "You need to talk to my momma about that but I will definitely have this dress and all the colors available for you."

"Put me on your PR." She gives me another squeeze. "I'm trying to be hip like you youngsters."

"We're all trying to be like you." I give her kiss a cheek. "You're the one with my dream body goals."

Interacting with celebrities is something that I will never get over even though I have been doing that my whole life. People usually kept their conversations to a minimum since my dad scares them and I was pretty young so it's nice to be able to have intellectual conversations with them without it being a thing.

"Hey." 

I damn near pass out at the sight of Brad Pitt who is standing there with a dazzling smile on his face.

"Amerie Johnson, right?"

I hold out my hand to him, "You can call me mami."
