Name and occupation?
Shekinah Monee, Brand Strategist and Beauty Queen

What do you love most about being a Black woman?
I love that there is so much history behind my eyes, and every day I get to learn something new about myself.

Who or what inspires you?
I am inspired daily by the memory of my Grandmother. She raised seven kids on a tight budget and little help, but did so successfully. She always taught me to push on no matter what, and that gives me strength. Her story is my daily inspiration.

What advice do you have for other Black women or men?
I think it so important to know as much as you can about yourself and your history. I am a firm believer that you need to know where you come from to know where you are going.
