About me
Greetings, I am Dr. Shaashawn, user of she/her pronouns, Black, cisgender womxn, military brat, gemini, queer, 1st born, natural hair rocker, activator, connector, woo-er, award-winning radio broadcaster, author, edu-taining facilitator, engaging mistress of ceremonies, polished plenary moderator, thorough panelist, and unapologetic advocate, disruptor and leader-scholar. I contribute my time, treasures, and talents as the Vice President of Education with the Virginia League of Planned Parenthood. When I am not championing comprehensive sex ed, I am serving as the Founder of Voycetress Media, LLC, providing consulting services via curriculum development, professional development, facilitation experiences regarding justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging and voice over services. I am on a mission to use my gifts, alto voice, for the facilitated exchange of information infused with arts performance to raise consciousness, close disparity gaps, minimize exclusion, while striving for liberation from ‘isms’, phobias, discrimination, and oppression. I am on a mission to connect people to people and people to information by taking private conversations public, practicing the art of getting comfortable being uncomfortable especially when defensiveness and awkwardness show up. I create brave learning environments for individuals, communities, and organizations to reflect, identify and build skills.
