     We lose self-respect for ourselves and fall into the trap of self-love.

What do you bring to the table? What is your value? And how can you value yourself and love yourself if you don't know what makes you worthy of it? In A Woman's Intrinsic Value, Shatoyia teaches how as a woman, even though accolades are wonderful, your value does not lie in your title, financial status or accomplishments. Your value is implicit; it lies in the divine essence and contributions of feminine womanhood and can only be activated once you understand your value by the sheer fact of you being a woman and esteeming womanhood. 👑

Embracing Feminine Womanhood is about learning how to embrace all affinities of womanhood from career to love and relationships to our emotions and intuition to our sensuality and positive body image, while we continue to confidently create a unique path in feminine womanhood that represents our authentic, best selves while gracefully overcoming the obstacles on the journey to self discovery, healing and self love. The most important part: doing so with confidence and without shame and reservation. 👑

Every woman's pure definition and path to fulfillment, internal peace and self respect is different and unique once she discovers who she is from a divinely healed lens. 

It is also attainable...if she is courageous enough to get in the driver's seat, pursue it and remain open and flexible to the path in which she gets to her destination. 👑

As Chair of Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business' Diversity Committee, I discovered the incredible work you've been doing with First Ladies of Poverty Foundation when you spoke during the Diversity Committee's WE Speak series. You really do have an impressive track record of impact, Shatoyia! I was impacted most by the work your foundation does in encouraging entrepreneurship

 - 👑 Audrey Dilgarde, Chair of HWIB Diversity Committee

Shatoyia has certainly been more than a mentor to me. She is 110% always there whenever you need an advice, feedback, someone to talk to you. She seems to see what you are not able to see, the good in you, your potential. I dont think I have ever had a talk with her when I dont feel better after. The most important thing that she has taught is to believe in myself. I am thankful I discovered FLP and I got the chance to meet such a thoughtful and impactful leader. The most wonderful thing about Shatoyia is that she sincerely wants to see your growth, both personally and professional. I believe is hard with any mentor you have. She also understand life happens and something you cant give your best, she is flexible and patient and always willing to lend a hand. Thank you... for the time, the opportunity and the chance. Thank you for your constant support and for wanting my growth and success.
