Testimonial
Ms. Bellamy you spoke at my son's high school today, and he said you were the best speaker there. You captured their attention, you were funny and real. He absolutely loved your wit, your story, your strength and drive. He also wants to become a gourmet chef one day – so we all must meet one day. When he started speaking about his day, he told me out of all of the speakers, you captured his attention (and most of the other students, as well). I pray that God continues to bless you with all his love, peace and joy for the rest of your life!!! Thank you. Shannon

A series of trials and tribulations have uniquely prepared Shannon to tackle and subsequently overcome some of life's most insurmountable odds. She has endured a multitude of adversities particularly during her formative years, ranging from the untimely death of her father at the tender age of 33, to the various encounters of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of trusted individuals. Many of these unfortunate experiences of victimization have followed her into adulthood. However, with a strong faith in God and relentless tenacity Shannon has learned that you can rescue yourself from the dungeon of despair, and be placed on a road to glorious redemption.
Further displays of Shannon’s spirit of resiliency are connected with the progressive steps she's taken toward improving herself by returning to school in order to advance her education. Being a mother of four children has truly made Shannon realize the importance of promoting education by example.

She is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree with aspirations of developing numerous business ventures including a Marketing Firm, Supper Club and Day Spa.
