Hi! I’m Shakivla (sha-key-la). I'm a 32 y/o queer, black femme that identifies as an extrovert—people magnet, if you will.
I'm an award-winning (3x Shorty winner) brand storyteller, social strategist, and content marketer who excels in narrating the mission and values of a brand to build brand awareness, trust, and love. One through line of my social media career is advocacy; from shining a light on the funding disparities of women-owned businesses to shaking the stigma of formula feeding—creating content that lifts up marginalized communities and their choices…in addition to making extremely engaging content that gets people talking. I think that every brand, even if not largely mission-driven, has something to get loud about and consumers want brands to be loud.
My eye for photography has allowed me to take beautiful pictures of family and friends for years. I have a knack for breaking the mold of the stuffy corporate look to produce fun photos that capture the essence of anyone who steps in front of her camera. I make my clients feel like they are taking pictures with their best friend <3
