Johnna Crider
Johnna Crider is an artist and writer from Shreveport, Louisiana, who now lives in Baton Rouge. Her passion for creativity has led her to carve out a distinctive niche in the world of gems and minerals, where she creates beautiful gemstone bracelets at competitive prices.
Her path from a challenging background to becoming a noted artist and writer is a testament to her resilience and dedication. Johnna’s jewelry is complemented by her past articles on Tesla and clean energy, reflecting her support for Elon Musk. He invited her to Giga Texas in 2022 for an interview on her now-inactive podcast, “GettingStoned.”
In 2023, Johnna set aside wire wrapping to dive into new creative pursuits like book journaling, learning the saxophone, and studying Sumerian cuneiform, while shifting her focus to fresh endeavors.
Although she’s stepped away from journalism, Johnna actively uses X to express her support for Musk’s ventures, alongside her enthusiasm for gems, minerals, cats, and running.
She’s a devoted cat parent, currently broadening her horizons by learning the saxophone, delving into Sumerian studies, and training for her first 5K run in late 2025. Johnna is also slowly getting back into wire wrapping starting with beaded bracelets and has a new focus with her jewelry line.
