Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Shannon Stevens . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Shannon , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I found my purpose the day I lost everything literally. About a hundred dollars to my name, no job, at that time I had one kid, and I had to hustle for my life and my daughter life. My purpose was rebirthed and recognized when I was going through the worst time in my life. I say my purpose was rebirthed because it was always presented to me but I never really took it serious until it was all I had to survive!
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Shannon Stevens or as some may know me as “Queen Halo”, the hairstylist, the baker, the visual merchandiser, the sales specialist, the blogger, the rapper, and the list goes on and on. A quiet young princess that grew into a Queen that loves to talk and be outspoken. Creator of Hairbydash88, Halocooks21,avacakecups, halocreation2023, and queenhalo_advertising. Which are all names of my pages on Instagram, where I display my life, my passions, and my stories through images and music my second language. Queen Halo is my rappers name all of my music is showcased on YouTube. My style of music is spoken word over beats! I’m just a 35 year old “mom of two that loves what she do”.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
My drive even when loosing everything I still pushed forward and never looked back. At times when I did look at my past it was only to learn from my mistakes and improve my present, my now. I thank God for my faith even through those crying nights the next morning I planted my feet on the ground and took on each day like the night before never existed. My great people skills which helped me soar through all my bad times, helping others helped me. The best step I every took in life though was seeking counseling when times got tough it really helped change my mind, body, and soul.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
At the end of the day we must better ourselves, getting to know you will help you in any area of your life associated with business, relationships romantically or just friendships. In order to succeed in any way we must build a plan and organize each level until we meet each goal planted. Know what’s meant for you and what isn’t. Take risk but at the same time don’t take on to much that you can’t handle, because a burnout only puts you back at start. Don’t be scared of failure because it’s necessary to help you grow. Always remember when one door closes its always a opportunity to knock and bust down so many doors of great opportunities, never stop following your dreams!
