Shalisa Pouw is someone I first met when I was 12, and I’m thrilled to reconnect with her now. The best place to keep up with her multitude of ventures on her Instagram account @Shalisa_P, but I’ll also call out her work with DiningOut Events and The Wedding Event. More about her multiple ventures this Wednesday, February 27 when Episode 209 drops.

But first, Shalisa tells us about her first job working at 13 years-old as a tap instructor for little kids. It’s a lovely wholesome tale that sets the stage for Shalisa’s impressive career in dance.
