Originally from Miramar, Florida, Shaunziona Brown was destined for greatness.  As the fourth child of ten children, affectionately called “Shaunzi”, she found her purpose early on.  As a young woman, Shaunzi has been doing hair since the fourth grade.  Practicing on her siblings, Shaunzi developed her craft and started to receive compliments and requests to take it to the next level.  Moving forward, Shaunzi will begin formal cosmetology schooling in August 2020 while also pursuing dual enrollment at Broward College for her business license.   
 
Early on, Shaunzi began to model locally in Fort Lauderdale.  This opportunity gained her the experience she needed to become the sole model and face of Lush Beauty Hair.  Shaunzi believes in the Lush Beauty Hair line so much so, that she uses the hairline herself.  On this journey, Shaunzi began to develop a love for fashion.  Recognizing the stigma behind a woman and her confidence allowed her the opportunity to tap into another arena.  She found that many women are not comfortable in their body.  Particularly so, bigger women don’t get a lot of attention.  Shaunzi believes confidence starts in the mirror from your naked self.  How you look at yourself and perceive your body type can positively or adversely affect your perception of self and others.  The most ideal move was for her to tap into lingerie and bathing suits for women of all sizes to gain confidence from the inside out.     
 
Authenticity is how you show up in the world at your core.  It is the true rarest form of yourself.  Operating at her best has made people pay attention to her more on social media.  Recently, Shaunzi completed a photo shoot for her clothing line.  As a professional, she saw first-hand how important it is for her to surround herself with the right people.  Quoted by Shaunzi, “I experienced an overwhelming feeling looking around and seeing everything come together.”  Shaunzi recognized that operating out of her authentic power gave her so much courage to do better and set a standard of excellence.  Understanding the value of bossing up and having an expectation of greatness has shifted her perspective to say the least. 
 
A defining moment in her life came about while she was working on a client’s hairstyle.  Many times, she has been told she is too skinny or a friend is too big for a particular outfit.  Many times, she has scrolled past body shaming posts on social media that didn’t sit right with her.  Unwilling to accept the status quo, she knew she needed to make a change.  It was in that moment that she pushed forward to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion stylist and lingerie party planner.  Having the vision of seeing women come together for exclusive events to showcase lingerie and other accessories is a pivotal moment in her career.
 
This became a reality during a recent photo shoot on Fort Lauderdale beach.  Passersby’s had no problem walking up and approaching her about her bathing suit line.  Compliments were tossed around like confetti, while recognizing the upscale quality and designs of her bathing suits.  The most rewarding moment was when people actually requested to take pictures with the models and follow her IG page.
 
Shaunzi Brown is unstoppable and a force to be reckoned with.  She has made it her business to tap into an industry that is not only challenging, yet difficult to break into.  Her ultimate mission is to shift the mentality of women on both ends of the spectrum. 
 
Words of Wisdom: People will attempt to discourage you on your journey and take you away from your purpose.  Age is just a number.  Don’t chase the money; always chase the passion.  Money will eventually come.

Bless Up

​This year started off with an emphasis on the 2020 vision.  Many people positioned themselves in a state of panic that led to premature action and unrealistic expectations.  There is a false sense of reality, assuming that things will miraculously fall into place.  Unbeknownst to many, life is a journey.  I know that statement seems cliché, yet so many people still operate from a place of lack and impatience.  If you’ve paid attention, you would have noticed the month of January consisted of tragedy, chaos and destruction.  This is a part of life, despite the way things look.  Just because no tangible evidence is showing you that your goals and visions are not coming to pass, doesn’t mean that The Most High isn’t working behind the scene.  Stand strong in knowing that if you go down, you must come up.  If I can offer you anything, it would be the following:  forgive yourself and others, pray in times of happiness and sorrow, and most importantly, fight back with all you’ve got.  You were made for such a time as this.  Mount up!

Show Up for the Fight

​The Most High has a way of showing up to get the desired result in the most beneficial outcome.  Sometimes we are taught to slow down so the path can be cleared for our approach.  Chaos can be ahead, yet we are prepared to safely pass after the storm has cleared. Every step, every setback, every obstacle has been purposed for our development.  Isolation is all part of the process.  It is in isolation where growth occurs.  The heart is strengthened to withstand the endurance. Slow down.  If you slow down, you can pace yourself, spot the dead weight and prepare effectively for success.  Nothing happens before its time.  Appreciate where you are and be in competition with no one.  The path chosen for you does not require you to take matters into your own hands and rush to a finish line that is not intended for you.  Many do not understand that slowing down is the key to longevity.  Understand the lessons along the way.  Take notes.  Teach others behind you how to navigate their journey.  Nothing happens before its time.  You are right on schedule, not a minute later.  Even those baby steps add up.  Don’t be impressed or thrown off by distractions.  Stay in your lane and allow The Most High to do his thing.  People, places and things are being prepared, awaiting your arrival at the divine time.  In the meantime, show up for the right, which is where your muscles are being toned and strengthened.  You got this!

What A Year

11/14/2019

This year has been an eye opener for sure.  So many twists and turns, but the teachable moments I’ve experienced are priceless.  More importantly, I have learned so much about myself that will carry me into 2020 and many years to come.  I am much stronger than I give myself credit for.  I am worthy of love and I love unconditionally.  I have learned to honor my space and respect myself enough to walk away when respect is no longer being served.  I look more at actions, than the sweet words spewed from an individual’s mouth.  I also pay attention to what someone says when a situation or outcome is not favorable in their eyes.  I argue with no one.  That is the maturity and wisdom in me.  Trust and verify.  I let whatever and whomever come in or leave willingly.  I go where I am celebrated, not tolerated. I don’t force anything or anyone to stay.  I trust the process because I know everything is working out for my greater good.  No hate, just peace.  I recognize as beings; we sometimes need space to do the work on ourselves.  If we are meant to come back together, well, it will come to pass.  I no longer ignore red flags, warning signs or check engine lights.  I act immediately and instinctively.  That is my gift from God.  That is how I continue to honor myself.  I am not perfect.  I wake up every day with the intention to do better and be my greatest self.  I fall short sometimes and that is okay.  I still get back up on my feet and dust myself off.  That is the warrior in me.  Many close to me know I have been fighting a cold this past week.  It really got the best of me and put a damper in many of the plans I made for myself.  Last night, I had a moment where I was low key scared and thought of who I could call.  One particular friend came to mind.  This friend drove across town to come see about me at one o’clock in the morning.  I couldn’t sleep and she brought comfort, love, compassion and support.  I laid awake in bed and could not fall asleep until three in the morning.  At that point is when I started to feel better.  As I write, I am reminded that it is okay to be vulnerable to the right person.  I don’t have to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders.  I can put the bags down and allow myself to be cared for.  It is a testament to my friendship, sisterhood and the type of bonds I have with certain individuals.  True friendships and connections have no certain formula.  You can pick up where you left off as if time has not passed.  This is a reminder that there is no particular protocol for the relationships you have in your life.  Take your time, enjoy your life, be receptive and emit the kind of love that is boundless by time and distance.  As 2020 approaches, I wish you nothing but the very best because you are worthy of whatever the Most High has in store for you.  Don’t be afraid to reach out and grab it, but make sure you are doing the work!

Honor Thy Sister

10/31/2019

​Nothing inspires me more than the true essence and beauty of a woman going after her goals despite what the world throws at her.  More importantly, the underdog that has defied all the odds of what society says she should look like and how she should move.  The woman getting up day in and day out, struggling to make a way for herself and her family.  A woman determined no matter what to make her dreams come true. A voice that beckons to be heard because she is the epitome of grace and humility.  Knowing exactly who she is, yet needing an opportunity and a glimmer of hope to connect her to the masses.  I have a special place in my heart for the underdog.  Why you say?  Because she is me.  When you work hard for everything you have, making a name for yourself, taking the good with the bad and bossing up through adversity….life has a way of helping you turn your losses into wins.  I root for the next woman like I’ve had to root for myself all these years.  The underdog doesn’t give up because she realizes her innate quality; unique and exquisite, understanding one day, someone will manifest exactly what she possesses.  I want to ensure that SHE has an opportunity to be heard, celebrated, congratulated and elevated.  If I am speaking directly to you or you know that female entrepreneur that I am describing…be so kind as to tag/share/DM or notify Brandee Nicole by any means.  It would be my honor to get to know her and do my part to ensure the world gets to know her as well...I'm every woman!  Honor thy sister!

Be Gentle with Yourself

10/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Today is a new day.  No need to focus on the events of yesterday’s past.  Wake up renewed and joyful, knowing today is full of excitement and wonderful people you have an opportunity to engage with.  You are not the person you used to be, yet well on your way to becoming the person of your destiny.  A transformational stage is where you’re at.  This is actual a great place to be in because you get to create a new reality from the things that no longer serve you.  You know what you do what by knowing what you don’t want.  Sacred space helps you manifest and attract the things you desire most.  A space that affords you the opportunity to go within and learn yourself all over again.  This time around, you are in a place where you can achieve the clarity and longsuffering required to committing to a new you.  You don’t have to rush this process, but you do naturally become more intentional.  This is not a race, more so self-paced.  A pace that takes you on a journey of self-discovery to amazing and uncharted territory.  A journey that only makes sense to you because you are the navigation.  Rather, the navigation is within you.  Pace yourself.  Smell the roses along the way.  Absorb the scenery.  More importantly, be gentle with yourself.  You are exactly where you are supposed to be.  You will arrive at your destination right on schedule.

Reprogramming

10/17/2019

0 Comments

 
When I made the decision to move to Florida, I knew I was supposed to be here.  I could feel it in my spirit.  No family, no friends; nothing or no one to depend on but myself.  Not for the husband or the issues we had at that time, but for a greater purpose.  I knew God wanted more for me.  I was determined.  In a new city, I divorced the man I thought I couldn’t live without.  I slept on someone’s couch until I could establish myself on my own.  I moved too quickly into a new relationship following the divorce and spent twelve years in a relationship I could no longer tolerate.  The best thing that happened to me was my son.  Being free and having the opportunity to create a new reality is more than breathtaking.  I am the miracle I long to see.  I am a conqueror, overcomer and a generational curse breaker!  I am the thunder, the light and sun….the next chapter is owed to me.  Watch out, reprogramming is in full effect!

The Time is Now

10/8/2019

Somehow the time feels different now.  As if the timing is just right.  Like everything I have went through within the last year was not in vain; no matter how insignificant the change seemed to be.  Everything I’ve experienced, every emotion, every tear, every let down, every lie spoken over me has somehow pushed me forward and propelled me to pursue and honor my destiny.  I want you to know the same applies for you.  Nothing can stop the call on your life.  No enemy, no fake friend, no hater, no onlooker, no plot or ploy can sabotage your credibility.  You will prosper. Facts!  Yes, there is a fine line between love and hate.  Recognize when you fall outside of the right perimeter.  Get back on your stance.  Let’s get down to business.  Focus, prepare and execute.  These words I speak over myself and you as well.  Honor yourself by dedicating your time and surroundings to higher.  Higher awareness, growth and potential.  As I believe in me, I believe in you.  Stay focused.  No need to look to the left or right....keep looking straight ahead. The time is now!  Remember:   

Jealousy promotes the person you hate on faster.
