Hey, my name is Shakirah and I’m just a girl from Harlem, New York. I grew up in a lower class single mother home. In fact I was an orphan by the age of 12. Despite my circumstances and socioeconomic status growing up I had a pretty happy childhood due to my ability to make really great friends. This part of my life is important to know because it has a lot to do behind my passion to have information and resources easily available to others. I had zero guidance on what to do with my life, how to navigate adulthood or the real world. As you can imagine this led to a great amount of mistakes in my 20’s, both personally and professionally. I had my daughter who is now 6 when I was 29 and that was the point in which my life completely changed. I became motivated and goal oriented and ready to create a life I couldn’t even imagine as a kid. I had all sorts of ideas and plans but I had no idea how to make things fall into place. Then I took a leap of faith and stepped into my purpose
