Kasha V Johnson is a trailblazing conduit who simply cannot be placed into a box. Known by many names such as Your Sexologist Bestie, the The Autism MomPreneur, Au Natural & Enchantress V. She is a Best Selling Author dedicated to paying it forward through sharing her experiences. She started Vannessa’s Pleasures entering the adult toy industry but as a Certified Clinical Sexologist and Coach she branded Your Sexologist Bestie. Her career evolved into media and she is now The Host of Bedroom Kandi by Kandi Burruss’ Business of Pleasure podcast and Co-Host of On The Contrary Podcast presented by OnSite Media.

Her commitment to education expanded when Kasha became the Master Trainer now former Director of Training & Development at Bedroom Kandi Boutique Parties where she developed training materials for sex educators nation-wide. She is also Director of Education with the Northeast Conference of Kink. She has over a decade in the industry of sexuality. Kasha prides herself as a bold Social Media Influencer and Personality who creates sex positive environments, empowering women to embrace and embody themselves while creating space for men to be their truest fortified selves. However she also leverages her influence to educate individuals about Autism Spectrum Disorder and the journey of parenting as a whole.

Kasha found her dream work in bringing positive impact to the lives of others when her first child, Peyton was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at age 2. She learned quickly the taboos of being both a sexual person and a mother and was motivated not to lose herself or her orgasms to the stress of becoming a special needs mom! Simultaneously, Kasha was raising her younger brother Joshua who was 10 at the time when she became his sole guardian. She was raised by her mother who struggled with bipolar disorder and later in life when her mother lost her father Kasha's mother fell into challenges with substance abuse too. Just like that Kasha became a mom of 2 and has since grown that number to 3 adding her toddler Kayden into the mix.

Kasha's journey doesn't stop there and as a person impacted by deep trauma she today is a survivor of domestic violence, sexual abuse and is passionate about helping individuals navigate the pretty and un-pretty sides of sexuality including but not limited to the colorful rainbows of trauma, celibacy, sexual orientation, identification & transitioning, restoring sexuality after reproductive traumas, spicing up your love life, guidance in trying new kinks, sexual discovery and learning new ways to access pleasure. 

Through this journey she discovered that the true key to helping others navigate those areas was really guiding them to discover themselves and their needs while learning to communicate that with those intimate with them. She learned to marry her own personal experiences, knowledge and certifications into her unique coaching approach giving her a perspective into helping others like no other.

As the Director of Training & Development at Bedroom Kandi she Edu-Tains (educating while entertaining) consultants nation-wide to empower others to learn about their sexuality while incorporating the use of adult products and other pleasure and wellness products in the BK collection through exciting parties and experiences full of fun and leaving with quality offerings. 

Kasha is passionate about collaborating with other businesses and influencers who lend to her passion of creating a free space for positive sensual expression and welcomes discussions around working together!

Kasha Vannessa Johnson is a single mom of a young son named Peyton with Autism Spectrum Disorder, a mom of a toddler and a mother figure to her brother Joshua. Growing up in a low income family in Harlem, NYC she learned quickly how to survive, expand and utilize her skills to grow professionally while managing to keep a bright and bubbly personality. “I was dodging life’s challenges like dodgeballs. I’ve experienced everything from homelessness and domestic violence to a drug addicted parent who struggled with mental illness and let’s not get started on my challenges as an autism mom or a sister who suddenly had to parent her sibling but my experiences grow me they do not define me!“

In 2009 she began her career in Political and Labor organizing. Being active in political and grassroots issues was highly important to Kasha. She enjoyed having the ability to organize campaigns and grassroots efforts and the skills and relationships she developed that are invaluable. She continued this work for more than 10 years. While she may have ventured into a new industry she will always keep an ear to the ground and find ways to give back in her community!

When asked how did you end up in this business? Kasha replied:

“I got into the Business of Pleasure initially as a means to support my son with autism. While politics is monetarily lucrative she couldn't spend 10-12 hours a day away from her kids. Sex sells and when Peyton was diagnosed I was left with the challenge of supporting him and my brother financially without the ability to work a 9-5."  Adequate and reasonably priced childcare is a huge barrier for any single mother of a child with special needs. So women in this predicament often have to get innovative so that they can be a part of their child’s developmental needs while still managing to keep afloat. But truly many parents face this challenge."

Kasha was motivated to overcome this barrier as she had done so with many other barriers in her life. She also was seeking a way to reconnect with herself because she felt so lost after also experiencing the loss of a pregnancy with triplets which was shortly followed by her pregnancy with her son Peyton. “My pregnancy with Peyton was a super rocky road. I suffered from hyperemesis about seven months of the pregnancy causing me to be hospitalized for weeks at a time for hydration and nutrients.”  She thought once she had her son things would begin to mellow out but compared her life to a Lemony Snicket’s book, because for a short period it felt like a constant series of unfortunate events.

Shortly after Peyton was born she had a domestic violence experience that caused Kasha to lose optimism in love and intimacy. “I wasn’t feeling like a strong sexy woman although I knew deep down I was. I was desperate to reconnect with that woman. I was tired of feeling beat down and didn’t  want this experience to shape my vision of love and intimacy.” It took a while for her though. Years passed and once Peyton was diagnosed she decided she needed to have a ladies night just to decompress and feel connected to her adult life. Who knew this would be the start of her purpose. “I watched my friend as she went through her pleasure presentation and kept thinking to myself damn I could do this. I saw the financial opportunity immediately but I had no idea that this industry would transform my life.”

She initially started out in 2013 with a home Party network called Passion Parties that no longer exist today and was absorbed by another company. She ended up moving over to Pure Romance and in her words "I just wasn’t feeling it. I felt out of place in an environment that didn’t feel inclusive and truthfully wasn’t all that impressed with the product. This sent me on a quest for a new brand and I fell in LOVE with Bedroom Kandi products. The product quality is simply unmatched and they were super innovative with the toy designs. This gives a direct seller confidence when marketing a product." She continued to say on a personal level she felt like Bedroom Kandi understood that the subject of intimacy needed to feel inclusive for all regardless of race, sexual orientation, age or gender. Bedroom Kandi resources cater to all! However, she described the greatest part of it all was the family-like culture at BK. She felt at Bedroom Kandi it truly is a family and it is motivating to be surrounded by this network of givers who genuinely support the growth of your business. 

It didn‘t take long for Kasha to become one of the company’s top selling consultants in the country and begin to build a team of BOSSES to come along with her. She earned her way to becoming a member of the company's Consultant Advisory Council (CAC) where she plays an integral role in company direction, product development, training and more. “This business is what my life needed. I get to party and get paid all while empowering and educating men and women on this taboo subject of SEX!”

At the same time, Kasha started to grow a network on Instagram and now her social media reach is 880K+ followers as a Sex Expert. She paired up with her right hand Sue to utilize that platform to discuss important topics that cover love, dating, sex, relationships and taboos between the sexes and Sue even went on to create Unrobing Podcast to continue that. "I am proud of the growth of my many ventures and to have so many platforms to talk about an important topic like intimacy and Sex is just a SUPER bonus. I am hoping that my experiences can offer perspective and help us as men and women as well as those who identify in the LGBTQ community come that much closer to reaching a level of comfort on the subjects. After all it’s sex, WE ALL DO IT!" 

Kasha truly cares that her party guest and clients leave her feeling informed and better educated. Now that Bedroom Kandi has expanded in a much larger array of products, Kasha is also loving that she is promoting beauty, self love and care. "I know when I feel beautiful it allows me to do this necessary work with a sophistication to it yet at the same damn time I'm wild and I'm raw and I think it’s what my party host, customer base and social media following appreciates most. I keep it 1000%!” She described it as the blessing that allowed her to turn all of her challenges into successes.

Kasha recently began expanding her exploration and discovery into the OnlyFans platform. She described it as an opportunity to explore more of her depths sexually while educating visually. Her content features products from the Bedroom Kandi line and she educates on how to use the products followed by demonstrating what happens to her body when applying the items. "I've learned that I enjoy being watched, but more importantly that I've found a platform I can teach on without the restrictions most social media sites have and well get off in the process lol".

In 2022, Kasha decided to dig deeper into teaching and mentoring and became Bedroom Kandi Boutique Parties Director of Training & Development. In her role she deepens field development by improving training, coaching and performance reporting including creating app-based training content, designing virtual & in-person trainings, 1x1 consultant coaching, social media management and more. This has created a pathway for her to train others to responsibly create sex positive and self care promoting spaces nationwide!

So many people describe Kasha as bubbly, naturally giving, caring and the unbiased friend they can always confide in. Years ago Kasha responded to that jokingly with "Imma start invoicing them for this Dr. Phil work" lol but truthfully if I can ever be of help to someone I jump at the chance. Who knew this would manifest? Kasha currently coaches couples and individuals towards intimacy and thanks to the Dr. Rachel Institute now Board Certified to do it. “I am an Intimacy and Sexuality Coach who saves lives one orgasm at a time!”
