SHELAH MARIE
As an author, content creator, and women’s wellness influencer, Shelah Marie has helped disrupt the ideas that women should place themselves last or seek others’ approval in order to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. With a combined audience of over 500K followers on Instagram and YouTube, including prominent entertainers, black-owned wellness brands, and dreamers seeking to nurture themselves and their potential, Shelah offers a fresh perspective on self-care and creativity while answering the call for greater, more mindful connection among women.

Her guidance, at once practical, heartfelt, and relevant to women often overlooked by social and news media alike, has caught attention from women seeking a deeper connection with themselves along with a stronger support system and more positive ways to engage in community outreach.
