“I was born to be involved in fashion and the love of it keeps me abreast of the latest trends,” said Shawana. “My eye for fashion allows me to assist others to continue looking fashionably fly.”  In 2006, Shawana was given the opportunity to host Source Magazine fashion show. This experience led her to plan and showcase multiple fashion shows of her own.

 In December 2018, Shawana launched her first fashion empowerment brunch entitled, “Pretty Pearls and Clutches” which she hosts annually in multiple cities across the states.  It’s more than just a brunch, it’s a movement to bring awareness to women who faced difficulties to talk about the “unseen sides” life struggles, broken pieces we have faced. This event will also bring women together who love fashion, who aspires to be business owners and empower them all in one place. She is a dynamic leader who is very determined to accomplish anything she sets out to do.
