Today on , we are celebrating the work being done by Shakiya Steward with Communities in Schools Hampton Roads.
Shakiya Steward, MA, MFT was a Site Coordinator at I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, VA where she also graduated from 25 years ago. She proudly serves in the community that aided her in education and development as an individual. Shakiya began volunteering with Communities In Schools Hampton Roads, by facilitating a teen pregnancy/parenting group. She has been with Communities In Schools Hampton Roads for 5 years.
In May 2012, she completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Ashford University as a Cum Laude honor graduate. Shakiya has also completed a MA in Human Services Counseling and a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy both from Liberty University, Her goal is to use her education and life experience to change the trajectory of the basis of all society, family.
Upon completion of her bachelor degree she began serving within her own community by providing home visits for at-risk families. She enjoys working with families and has a great passion and purpose to serve families to deliver hope to a generation, who has lost faith, are discouraged, broken and feel trapped and are ready to make the necessary changes.
Shakiya is determined to use her own history and experiences to be an example that anyone can change. She is the first to admit that it is hard and it takes time. However, she believes that if you begin trusting in something higher than yourself that anything is possible. She has realized that every experience good or bad had its purpose and she has made a conscious decision not to be victimized, but to learn and grow.
Shakiya has two children whom she is very proud of Azhante, 21, and Nassir, 14.
We are very excited to work with Shakiya and CIS Hampton Roads for an upcoming professional development webinar for teachers on February 3rd at 4pm EST. To RSVP and receive Zoom login info, please go to http://bit.ly/CBB_PDCISHR
