Hello, my Shameless people welcome to Shameless shining hosted by me, you're inspiring motivator and charge of holding you accountable for achieving your dreams. My name is shawni cocks Ashford. And this podcast is all about exploring transparency while diminishing societal Norms stereotypes and previous experiences that wants captivated our growth. So that's a lot rate. What is that basically mean all in short we all Experience something from other people from our life experiences from societal Norms. So for me personally, I was a teenage parent some of the stereotypes and the societal Norms. I wasn't supposed to be 17 years old and pregnant in high school. I was a young African-American woman at that point in time. If you were a teenage parent you were going to be on the system you are not going to be able to graduate you were not going to be successful. You're going to have multiple. Whoa, baby father's all of these things, right but when you are the person saying it to that individual and I'm going to say victim at the time. It does something to you. So it puts you in a place or in a box almost to where you don't feel like you can ever be successful. You are looked down upon you our shame. You are just you just feel horrible you feel disgusted you feel guilt you feel so many other emotions and feelings and So eventually that does something to You so you either one Sometimes some people just give up and they fall into those stereotypes or those Norms or to some people say absolutely not I will not be this person that you think that I should have been and so that's what this podcast is all about. It's about whatever it is that you have been through whatever it is that people have said or the box that people have put you in this podcast is to encourage you to say aah, absolutely not Absolutely not. These are also conversations that I believe that or I feel excuse me that our culture tends to kind of overlooked but yet they understand that it plays a significant role throughout her life, but it's not really talked about. So that's what this podcast will represent its transparency and really having those strong vulnerable conversations with myself with others as a collab but really talking about it and really encouraging other people to really walk shamelessly to be Shameless. To not be ashamed of what people have said about you or the box that people have put you in but to really just walk confidently really walk confidently with who you are and owning that experience owning that pass. Yes. That was me. Yes. I was a teenage parent but yet I am going to be successful. I am going to do better and I will show my daughter how she can do the same and I will also make her aware and expose her so the societal norms and you know, too The all the stereotypes that are put out there to say despite what they say. You can do better. This is not the end of your story. So I believe that it's time to release our past experiences and truly walk confidently as we continue to discover and connect to our inner beauty our strength our peace our aspirations and our accomplishments, but most importantly restoring and reconnecting with ourself reconnecting with ourselves. So, what does that mean? Regina hurt acknowledging the pain but then how do we dig deep? And we find our Beauty we find our strength to say, you know what this is not have to be me. Yes. That was me at one point in time, but I'm gonna do better and I'm gonna own it. I'm gonna walk with confidence walk with confidence.
