Shalandra Spragley is the CEO of Agape Apparel, a clothing line that empowers people to overcome difficult circumstances and strive for greatness. She knows how important looking your best is when you don’t always feel it. After surviving a collision with an 18-wheeler, causing an internal decapitation, Shalandra had to start from scratch. At a point in her life when she was supposed to be traveling and spending time with her 4 kids, she was hospitalized, unable to walk and worried about what her future would look like. Her free will was taken instantly, and one of the things she remembered hurting the most was being unable to wear the unique outfits she used to. She fought to recover, even regaining the ability to walk against all expectations, and one of the first things she did when she was released from the hospital was to start designing. She knew what helplessness felt like. She decided even on days when she felt it, she would never look it again. This small thing was something she had control over. She designs unique clothing for people who love to shine brightly - so their outside matches the vibrancy of their spirit. Shalandra Spragley is a business owner, a mom, a grandma, and a survivor. connect with Shalandra

I’m a mom of 3 amazing adult boys, a wife of 35 years, a dog momma, a yogi, a bourbon lover, and soon to be a rockstar Grammy! I’ve worn many hats over the years - many that fit poorly and were not my style! My journey hasn’t been easy - raised by a single mom in low-income housing, bullied in school, had no college degree, told that I shouldn’t dream and should settle for what I had. This resulted in - low self-esteem, and high anxiety and I found myself always trying to fit in. Thru therapy, personal growth, grit, and a lot of good CBD - today the hat I wear fits perfectly and I am living my best life surrounded by the most amazing people. And now I am a woman on a mission to encourage other women to leap with both feet into their dreams because they are worth it. Connect with Lisa
