Black casino resort leader shares successes, challenges
Melonie Johnson, who made history last year by becoming the first Black woman to run an Atlantic City casino, discusses the trials and triumphs of being at the helm of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa during the pandemic and the “intoxicating” appeal of the gaming industry. Leading in the midst of the coronavirus “is probably the biggest challenge that I have had in my career, but I find it rewarding,” Johnson said.
