Shawntá Pulliam took a traumatic childhood, affected by parental drug addiction and incarceration, and turned it around for

good. After expulsion from the 10th grade, Shawntá was enrolled in Catholic alternative education where she worked diligently

to graduate on time, coming in early to study and staying late for extra help. She emerged as valedictorian of her senior class

and attended Gannon University. However, Shawntá’s unhealed wounds resulted in risky behavior, bad relationship choices,

and ultimately a nervous breakdown, where she received just $500 a month from social security and was given a one-bed-

room apartment in the projects.

Shawntá began to confront her past, acknowledge her wrongs, forgive, built a real relationship with God and reclaimed her

soul. She began a promising career with G.E.Transportation but still had an unfulfilled passion to help at-risk girls, as she

once was. Shawntá Pulliam has not only evolved into a visionary, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and life coach, she is also Secre-

tary of the Erie Policy and Planning Council, a member of the Board of Directors for the Erie Downtown Partnership, the Tru-

ancy Committee, General Electric’s African American Engagement Committee, Erie Times News Diversity Committee, serves

on the Board of Corporator’s for UPMC Hamot and is a member of the Women’s Athena International Power Link.
