Shaniqua has been interviewed by both television and radio personalities across the country, which have given her an opportunity to share her message of purposeful living to thousands. Much like her military career Shaniqua is quickly becoming one of today's respected leaders and inspiring public figures.
Southern Charm
As a native of Charleston SC..... Shaniqua believes there isn't anything better than good old southern hospitality, well that and a cold glass of sweet iced tea. "Be who I am instead of the person others expect me to be", is her life’s motto. Honestly speaking she is a career woman, full time wife and mother, and family first is her number one priority. She is not afraid to admit that she is a without a doubt a Target-shopping, Oprah-watching, Rachel Ray-loving, Ladies- night-in, five-hundred-pairs-of-shoes type of woman.
Navy Sailor
Shaniqua served her country as a United States Navy Salior for eight and one half years. She quickly distinguished herself as a superb leader, mentor, and outstanding manager, truly concerned for the betterment of fellow sailors and civilian employees alike.
Her meritourious service stemmed from October 1997 to April 2006. Demonstrating diligence and extraordinary professionalism, she led saliors and civilians to meet increased demands imposed by senior officials. Shaniqua's distintive accomplishments, unrelenting preseverance, and steadfast devotion to duty reflected great credit upon her and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
Near the end of her last tour with the Navy Shaniqua came to what she believes was one of many crossroads in her life, one that would lead to the life changing desicion of leaving her military career behind in order to begin the quest for her life's true purpose. Although this was a scary move with an undetermined destination, in hindsight she believes it was one of the best desicions she could have ever made.
Author
A believer in destiny......As taken from her book Life, Experiences, Preparation, and Purpose, at the time of its creation she did not consider herself an “Author”. Instead she thought of herself as a “Believer”. She believed that writing books as well as other materials was the path she was led to. She believed that things happen for a purpose on purpose. Most importantly she believed in herself and her creator. This was her beleif then and still is to this day, and her life’s work has just begun and still has quite a journey before completion. Filled with enthusiasm, a longing for fulfillment, and a passion for helping others excel, she is a strong believer in destiny. Through the use of books and other publications Shaniqua plans to encourage others to believe, believe that purposeful living is the key to a happy life filled with endless possibilities. And finding and fulfilling purposes is what we all must do.

S. L. Cousins
The lighter/honest side of Shaniqua...... "I'm me! No excuses, No dire need to explain myself, I'm just me. I love who I am today and I'm continuously learning more about who I was yesterday. I have a big heart and open mind. If I opened the door, know that you have been welcomed. I'm filled with love and never afraid to express this precious emotion. I'm just me! If we met, chances are you walked away with a smile. I'm just me! Purses and shoes, hey I consider them a special treat. I'm happy for all my trials and relish in all my victories. I'm just me! If I have it then you got it, because I'm never afraid and always willing to give of myself. I'm just me! I'm comfortable in my environment but not afraid of change. I know who I am today and look forward to who I will become. But hey, I'm just me!"
