For seven years straight, Shanita applied to law school and received rejection after rejection. Every time she opened a rejection letter, she had a choice, give up or keep pushing forward.

Shanita’s journey was not for the faint at heart. She encountered losses, doubt, and obstacles that could have made her walk away. But she refused to accept failure as an option. Instead, she leaned on her faith and belief that every “no” was simply a step closer to a “yes.”

Through perseverance and unwavering determination, Shanita overcame rejection and built a thriving legal career and now she inspire others to break through their own limitations.

Shanita’s journey didn’t just lead her to success in the legal profession, it ignited a passion in her to empower others to push through adversity and claim the life they deserve. Today, she is a speaker, mentor, and advocate who helps individuals and organizations embrace challenges, develop a mindset for success, and turn setbacks into stepping stones.

She is here to share her powerful story on stages across the country, to remind audiences that no matter how many times you hear “no,” your “yes” is just on the other side.

Her personal experiences inspired her to write her first book, Silent Tears, a deeply personal and raw account of her struggles and triumphs.

Shanita believes that success is not just about achieving personal goals, it’s about lifting up others along the way. Whether through motivational speaking, mentorship, or writing, she is committed to helping others build confidence and take bold steps toward their dreams.
