Today is about our guest, Shaquita Smith. Shaquita is an actress, a producer, and a motivational speaker. She’s from Birmingham, Alabama and now lives in Atlanta. A graduate of Troy State University and American Intercontinental University. She is also a very active spokesperson for mental health— which as you may know, is dear to my heart— and she has been a feature on the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign.
