The Passion of Shavon

Shavon’s strongest credentials ultimately dwell in the resume of her real-life experiences.  From an early age, Shavon has unfortunately witnessed and/or have experienced many degrees of abuse, depression, and life-shattering events.  With the absence of her father and the demands of a single-working mother, Shavon quickly learned the meaning of standing on your own two feet and began to understand the essence of sacrifice.  From then until now she has observed situations resulting in child molestation, suicide, substance abuse and mental illness.

Shavon’s passion for speaking and inspiring others is stimulated by her personal testimonies and  relationships that have molded her understanding of life and love. However, it wasn’t until 2007 when Shavon recognized and began to act on the divine element of her purpose. A close classmate, uncle, cousin, a best friend and her one and only brother, Sidney, all died in that same year.  The loss of these significant individuals was the start toward finding the true value and meaning of life itself. From sharing her stories of success and perseverance, to her father’s death, her mother’s health and her personal challenges, Shavon speaks with hope, victory, and compassion to the heart of every human-being and provides nourishment to the soul of who we are and our reason for being.  Shavon’s reason….is to Echo-Luv.
