“Ugly Duckling”
The Ugly Duckling, much like my chance encounter with meeting Shavonne, is a story of serendipity meets synchronicity providing an opportunity for both of us former Ugly Ducklings to spread our wings and SOAR into our first book together! What you see on the surface is a beautiful, dynamic, inspiring young woman known as the ‘Happiness Broker.’ What you get is all of that and so much more!
A brilliant change agent with an MBA and an international platform, Shavonne is on a mission to inspire every black woman and black girl who has a dream to passionately pursue their purpose AND protect their health. A powerhouse of a personality and a brilliant black business woman leading the Future Health NOW movement to enhance wellness in the workplace, Shavonne’s lived experience, combined with her business savvy and gift of storytelling is the perfect recipe for a sensationally good read!
Shavonne’s message of making the most out of every moment, while simultaneously looking for opportunities to break through barriers and leverage the relationships you’ve made along the way, is the perfect blueprint for helping women rise in a world not designed for their success.
This book is the message all women need to hear, whether they are launching their career, working through the messy middle, or ready to go out and soar on their own. You will feel seen, you will feel heard, and by the end you will be inspired to “pursue your desires, make the best decision for the moment you’re in, and live with no regrets.”
