Hummingbird Global Initiative (HGI) was founded on the belief that even after disruption or loss, people deserve the tools, support, and strategy to rebuild—not just to survive, but to thrive with purpose.

The vision for HGI emerged during a deeply personal season in the life of its Founder and CEO, Allison A. Johnson. While navigating financial hardship and cultural transition abroad, she recognized a critical gap—many individuals in transition lacked access to sustainable, values-aligned guidance to help them restart their lives with clarity and dignity.

But the inspiration behind HGI runs deeper than any one moment. Allison has always had a natural ability to uplift others—a gift rooted in her lifelong commitment to empowering people through education, encouragement, and purpose-driven action. As a former business educator, experienced job readiness trainer, and global advocate for inclusion, she has consistently created spaces for others to grow, rise, and lead.

In 2025, she formally launched HGI as a remote, impact-focused platform, powered by her signature A.R.I.S.E.™ Framework and the release of her debut book, A.R.I.S.E.: The Hummingbird Strategy for Mental Strength & Sustainable Success. The initiative reflects both her personal journey and professional philosophy, centered on sustainable growth, inclusive empowerment, and the enduring power of reinvention.

Though HGI is in its early stages, its mission is bold and far-reaching:
To help individuals and organizations rise with intention, lead with integrity, and grow in alignment with the future they want to shape.
It’s the beginning of a global movement built on story, strategy, and sustainable success.
