Deeply resonating with the wisdom of educator Carter Woodson, who stated, "The true meaning of leadership is service," Shonette Charles spent many years in Corporate America, leading and serving on the boards of various community and civic organizations. Her contribution to these arenas has been impactful and meaningful.
From a young age, Shonette discovered the profound mysteries of life within the pages of books, which served as guiding lights and offered both refuge and revelations. Although her initial professional writing focused on nonfiction and business, the universe conspired to inspire Shonette to explore a new path. Thus, her debut novel 'NAIL IT: Breaking into the Black Elite' was born. It tells the story of a woman's transformative journey into the realms of prosperity, heritage, and social circles. Shonette expanded this journey in 'GAME ON' and concluded the trilogy in 'Winner Takes All'.
During the pandemic, Shonette shifted her perspective and focus on education and personal growth. She crafted the 'Learning with a Black History Twist' academic workbooks and her three Kwanzaa Guides, which help children understand and celebrate their heritage, community, and values. In her quest to help illuminate the path of self-discovery for children, teens, and young adults, she created the 'Zodiac Energy' and 'Sun Vibes' series. These journals foster introspection and mastery of one’s natural energy to better navigate life's journey.
An extension of these transformative books can be found on the YouTube channel 'Gifted Black Child', where the power of the stars, the magic of stories, and the lessons of Black history intertwine. This channel guides viewers towards a profound understanding of their place in the cosmos.
Shonette is blessed to share life's journey with her incredible husband, three beautiful souls they are fortunate to call their children, and one fiery and super intelligent fur baby.
