I know that EJ Johnson is the star of EJNYC , but I’m really feeling EJ’s sister, Elisa. She and her brother have a pretty good relationship — what siblings don’t fight from time to time? — and in the end, you know they always have each other’s backs. Elisa is in college at the Fashion Institute Of Technology in New York City, and, as I’ve seen on television and on her Instagram, Elisa Johnson seems like she has a pretty good life.
Elisa and EJ’s dad, for those of you who don’t know, is Earvin “Magic” Johnson, aka one of the most successful basketball players of all time. He played with the Lakers for 13 seasons. According to the New York Times, EJ was born to Earvin and Cookie Johnson in 1992, and the Johnson family adopted Elisa in 1995. Elisa grew up pretty nicely as the daughter of a major athlete. Fun fact: her best friend, Samira, is the daughter of LL Cool J. The two went to the same high school and even went to prom in the same group, according to Bossip. Samira features prominently in Elisa’s life and Instagram, so let’s take a look and see what she’s been up to.

Same, though, especially if I have a friend or four along.
I don't know — Elisa's had a pretty charmed life, but according to her Instagram, her life looks a lot like mine does — selfies, car sing-a-longs, spending too much time on the Internet — only turned all the way up.
