It was a big step when Cookie Johnson finally wed superstar sports icon Magic Johnson. Imagine her surprise when she found out 45 days later he was HIV positive. Their entire world changed as they believed this was a death sentence for him and she was newly pregnant.
Author of Believing in Magic: Believing in Love, Overcoming Adversity, and Keeping the Faith Cookie talks about tackling this issue as a couple bound by their faith, and what it took to move them forward, making Magic the face of HIV/AIDS in order to educate the world in the early 1990s.
