DO YOU KNOW SHAWANNA VAUGHN!

Shawanna Vaughn is known as a social justice advocate that has her sights set on changing the lives of others. Who are the others that Shawanna Vaughn brings into her life everyday? The others are people, not people of color, people from a particular community, people that are poor, people that are incarcerated or people experiencing mental health. Shawanna Vaughn represents people.

What does a day in the life looks like for Shawanna? Well, let's take a journey. Today Shawanna will be in New York, next week she's in Michigan, the week after that she is in Detroit advocating for the rights of people that she has never seen. Shawanna is a godsent for people that have no voice, but that needs one nevertheless.

Without the voice of Shawanna, and those that support the movement, those without a voice will remain so. Shawanna is using her innate power to change the lives of others. Why would Shawanna do such a thing? I asked Shawanna why she does what she does. Shawanna states that a system, whether it be mental health or incarceration, that targets one of us targets us all.

Shawanna Vaughn advocates for all, and now she needs the public to do the same for her. I stood with Shawanna on many advocacy movements, such as, JustLeadershipUSA,Vocal New York, Court Watch, social justice marches, campaigns for leaders running for public offices, and campaigns to Albany, NY to address systemic harms that are ravishing our communities.
