Shawneda

Reader

Reading changed, shaped, and saved Shawneda's life. From the tender age of 3 she found a comfort, power, inspiration, and peace in books unparalleled by any other form of communication. From board books to ten boxed Kindle Collections books are an irreplaceable part of her life. 

 Author

Writing began as a therapeutic outlet during therapy in elementary school. Years later, Shawneda's foster Dad recognized her intelligence, specifically her "gift with words". He encouraged her to make writing a part of whatever she did.  When she self published her first book, he pre-ordered the first copies of her poetry book and novel.

​Writing books led Shawneda to dive into learning more about brand communications aka marketing. Her new found freedom as an independent author led to developing a reputation for fun and engaging tactics with consistent results using marketing, branding, and business communication skills. Professionally Shawneda combines her insatiable love for reading -- research makes her giddy-- writing, creativity, and technical savvy with her passion for helping others.

Brand PersonaliTea Strategist

The desire to make my foster Dad proud of me led to learning how to help people find my book. My quest to live his advice and making sure no matter what I did... I "wrote", created a path into learning about marketing and being a "GenXennial" I landed in the social (media and social search) arena.
Creating "sexy" brand personality strategies is my thing.  

I'll be sharing all the fun (at least to me) amazing tools, in-depth tutorials, and courses for my fellow authors obsessed with connecting with readers.
