[Black Girls with Purpose Feature] Meet The Ultimate Encourager Shanece Smith

Shanece Smith, also known as "The Ultimate Encourager" grew up in a loving household with her grandparents, who both truly believed in love, respect and treating every stranger as a friend. With their guidance, Shanece became one to light up a room with her old spirit, bubbly personality, warm hugs and her awkward laugh.

After the unfortunate passing of her grandmother, "The Ultimate Encourager" had a new battle to overcome, grief.

Although she fought as long as she could to keep a smile on the outside the grief soon revealed itself and Shanece had to fight to overcome all of her challenges. Enduring trying times in life: depression, failing grades, broken relationships and many other tribulations, Shanece finally realized she couldn't encourage others until she first encouraged herself.

In her new book, Shanece shares her journey with others on how she was able to regain her power and reclaim her title as "The Ultimate Encourager."
