Hi, I’m Shinnel stewart.

Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

I am a freedom fighter, raised in a household by my mother and five siblings. Following the crowd of my youth and older brother, I fell victim to the system. During this process, I lost my father to some unknown illness. Not much later, I lost my mother to cancer due to her addiction to smoking. Shortly thereafter, I lost a brother to a drug overdose. I have been groomed and shaped into a human being by the ills and suffering of our society. I am called to be a brother to the brotherless and a voice to the voiceless.
