Here’s what we covered on the episode:

How Sherwanna Get Started + Elevating Self-Image 

• Sherwanna shares that she worked in corporate America as a corporate trainer and was laid off while 5 months pregnant

• The story behind when Sherwanna launched her YouTube Channel in 2018 called, Live Love Your Passion about mindset, personal development, and helping others go after their passion

• Sherwanna did everything from the graphics to editing for her channel, and soon people began to ask her to help with their brands

• 2018/2019 was a time when people wanted their Instagram feed to be aesthetically pleasing, so Sherwanna started by doing Instagram makeovers - there wasn’t much strategy behind it because people just wanted it to look good

• Soon, Sherwanna realized her picture-perfect feed and the feeds she was creating for clients didn’t reflect their true selves, which is why she doesn’t fully believe in doing that anymore

• Sherwanna likes to dig deep with all clients but especially ones who only care about something looking good - she usually finds that there’s a self-image issue

• Why Sherwanna is going to launch a self-image program that will help people elevate their internal image, show up 100% confidently in themselves, and help bridge the gap between whom they envision themselves being and who they are now

• Your business and personal brands need to tie together because the vision you have for your business came from you – it starts as a personal vision

• Sherwanna shares why it’s so important for people to know who they are in relation to the thing they are creating

• We are in a time where you can't just have a logo and a company and no one showing up, interacting as a person for your company

What Sherwanna’s Business Looks Like + Following Your Visions

• Sherwanna explains that now her business looks like helping nonprofits/socially responsible organizations and shares how she was able to help Urban Specialists, a local Dallas, TX nonprofit, and UTOPIA Washington, an international nonprofit

• On the personal side, Sherwanna helps coach small businesses to secure corporate contracts, and she helps coach people on personal branding, which will be her main focus this year

• How Sherwanna realized there’s a big branding gap for most nonprofits because for-profit companies normally have the branding together or even have an internal team to handle it, but nonprofits usually don’t, which is why she wants to help them

• Sherwanna is S/WMBE certified (small business, women-owned business, and minority business enterprise certified) and explains what advantages it has for her business and how it creates stability

• Government entities and corporations have contracts put aside to work with small businesses, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, etc.

• Sherwanna’s Road to Certified Program helps you certify your business to qualify for grants, corporate, and government contracts

• One thing Sherwanna wants to step into is UGC (user-generated content) - she shares how she would do that and that she’s stepped into the TikTok space

• With Sherwanna’s personal brand, she wants to become more of who she really is – she loves beauty and cooking and wants to show more of that

• Sherwanna’s advice is to not be afraid to do that one thing that you feel called to do – go after your visions and ideas
