writer. speaker. entrepreneur. latin dancer. wine enthusiast. moon gazer.

Hi! I’m shaunah.

I am a writer, speaker, DEI advocate, and entrepreneur. My passion is to help people realize their dreams and provide the resources to help them execute it, especially for women and people of color. My two superpowers are creativity and mentorship, and I have combined both to carve out a path for myself as an entrepreneur and a change-maker. My hope is to find a full-time senior-level writing position that can best utilize my skillset to make a difference in people’s lives.

my resume

started from the bottom.

My glow up from art show to art school to entrepreneur.

age 9

Budding Artist

I discover I’m kind of good at art. I get into my first art show.

age 12

Myspace Hacker

I Illegally download Adobe PS3 and start creating creepy profile pics of myself for Myspace. Then fully customize the background with photos, videos, a top 20–all the things. Man, I miss those days.

Age 14

Nerdy Poet

I geek out on reading, writing, and sketching since I’m an only child. And emo. I finally grow out bangs.

Age 17

College Compromise

I realize that art CAN be more than a hobby through discovering a flyer for College for Creative Studies in a photo class. Mom says, “Community college, first!” So, I do that.

AGE 24

Detroit >> New York City

I graduate from CCS with an Advertising Design degree and launch a fashion blog! But discover I’m actually better at copywriting. Then I get accepted into MAIP as a copywriting intern at BBH in NYC.

Age 29

From Writer to Dancer to Entrepreneur

I make some fun stuff at agencies around NYC. But IDK is this really all there is to it? So, I do some soul searching while traveling around the world learning latin dance. I launch Women Who Create with my partner Ash, the first mentorship program for women of color.

Age 34 - Present

Creative Community Leader

Turns out people really liked that idea. Now we’re a non-profit and have connected over 100 women around the U.S. I realize how bad ass I am, so I update my website.
