Dear Life Warriors,

When it comes to Shantay Carter, helping others is more than just a job- it’s her passion and her purpose. From her daily work as a dedicated nurse to her ambitions as the founder of a thriving nonprofit organization. The New York area native has an extensive history of letting her caring nature guide her path. Shantay attended Binghamton University where she received a Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing. In 2000, she began working at Binghamton General Hospital as a Registered Nurse. In 2002, Shantay continued her career at Northwell Health Systems, where she worked as an orthopedic /trauma/ neurosurgery nurse.

After noticing the lack of guidance for young girls in the Long Island area, Shantay decided to create Women of Integrity Inc. The eleven-year-old organization has already made huge strides in its mission to “empower and educate women of all ages and ethnicities”. Its signature event is its prom dress drive, prom dress giveaway, and prom makeover project that is executed each year.

Shantay modestly holds a number of accomplishments and honors for her work including being a Wholeness of Life Award winner at North Shore University Hospital in 2012, and a NSLIJ Health System 2013 President's Award nominee. In 2014, Shantay was honored as a Making A Difference Award honoree for the Town Of Hempstead, and a semi-finalist in P&G’s My Black is Beautiful Ambassador Search. In 2015, she received the Darby Foundation’s Community Service Award and a Community Service Award from the Hempstead Chamber Of Commerce. In 2017, she was a Woman Of Power Honoree from the Caribbean Business Connections Organization, and was a  NAACP Community Service Award honoree. Shantay also became a published Author in 2017, when she penned her book Destined For Greatness, which has  gone on to become an Amazon Best Seller. She recently received the 2018 Caribbean American Healthcare Award, from Caribbean Life Magazine. She was  the Keynote Speaker for the Excellence in Success Nursing Awards. She received the 2018 Woman of Power Award from The Ladies of 3rd Thursday organization, and the Social Change Award from Farley Productions, Inc.  In 2019, she was a Long Island Diversity In Business Award Honoree. In 2020,  she received the  Town of Hempstead’s Pathfinder Award, she was a  Nassau County Office of Minority Affairs Black History Month Award Honoree, and received the P.O.W.E.R. 2020 Women’s Empowerment Award. In 2021, she received the Inner Vision Magazine, Women Who Rocked their Roles Honor, she was the Keynote Speaker for the NY Chapter of The American Nurses Association 9th Annual Conference, and recognized as Nurse Entrepreneur of The Year, by the Greater NYC Black Nurses Association. Shantay is also the Founder of Men Of Integrity Inc., and Co-Founder of Nurses Of Integrity.

 “I believe that what you put out in life, you get back,” explains Shantay. “So, if you put out positivity, then you will get back positivity— it’s our job to give back in any way we can.”

Dear Life Warriors, Meet Tamara Zachery, President of WHTWRKS. WHTWRKS is a full-service marketing strategy, communications, and creative services agency.

Tamara shares her story from making a final decision to what seems to be the perfect marriage to finding her true love again. I am honored she chose me to tell her story. I do not take these opportunities lightly. For anyone struggling in their marriage or struggling after divorce, this a story you don't want to miss.

About Tamara

Tamara has a long-standing career in marketing, communications, and business development in various sectors including entertainment, fashion, healthcare, and technology. Tamara's career is steeped in launching new ideas, brands, and products. She has a voracious appetite for testing and evaluating new ideas, and believes in the power of connecting people to brands through developing compelling and authentic narratives. Tamara has an innate curiosity to understand the way things work, the way people think, and subsequently what drives people to connect to brands. Her focus is to drive growth and revenue using her passion for content creation and innovation.

Tamara began her career in the music and fashion industries where she was instrumental in the success of some of the most celebrated musicians and fashion brands. Starting at New York City's infamous Hit Factory, Tamara managed studios, engineers, and recording sessions for some of the world's most famous musicians and bands, including Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, and Aerosmith. While at RCA Records, she oversaw projects for recording artists such Tyrese, SWV, and Christina Aguilera. Her time in fashion saw her bring to life new brands such as Sean John and J Lo's line for Kohl's at MAGIC Las Vegas, the largest retail apparel trade show held biannually.

Next, Tamara made an intentional pivot to make a direct impact on people's lives. She began work in the healthcare sector supporting and developing physicians' private practice brands, and working for a company opening inpatient residential and outpatient addiction treatment facilities nationwide. The company became known as Sunspire Health and as the sole marketing and comms exec supported its sale to Kohlberg & Co. for $100M. She then developed and led the strategic marketing plan to re-articulate, re-name, and relaunch Student Leadership Network - the organization formerly known as Young Women's Leadership Network - the 22-year old education non-profit started and led by Ann and Andrew Tisch. There, Tamara reorganized the development team and led them to a historic $10M+ in revenue in less than one year and produced two of their annual benefits, raising close to $2M in total.

[New Corporate Circus motto---Not my circus, NOT my monkey]

Dear Life Warriors, Meet the amazing Madeline McQueen! I swear to you I have never laughed so hard during an interview. There were so many good moments that I was having a hard time trying to figure out what moment to release to you first. I thought about sharing her experience of being a pregnant sales representative in a time where it was known as the "old boys club". Our conversation took a real serious turn, but this moment right here, was my absolute favorite moment of the entire conversation. 

Madeline, I have always been a big supporter of your work on LinkedIn, but I had no idea your personality was such a dynamite. If you are not connected to Madeline McQueen Please CONNECT ASAP!

Our new phrase on the show is "Not my circus, not my monkey". LOVE IT!!!


If you watched this clip, please drop that phrase in our comments. It's our new motto when dealing with the corporate circus:)
