Meet Your Host

Hey lady! My name is Latoya Shanell and I am a lady boss who juggles working full-time, owning two small businesses, being a wife and managing a few brands. I started my business, L' Shanell Events, in 2008 and Etsy shop, L' Shanell Party Boutique in 2015. My journey has been exciting, frustrating, exhilarating, exhausting, inspiring and everything in between. I've learned and grown so much and there's still so much more to figure out. I still struggle with focus, clarity and productivity at times. The great news is that resources and tools are now so incredibly abundant, so much so that it becomes overwhelming at times. Vision planning and goal setting has taken my business to new levels over the past few years. This past year I exceeded my business goals and had the best year yet. I've discovered that being surrounded by a community of small business owners who truly understand the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is the key to truly reaching a new level of success. It gives me joy to pass along a new resource or tool that can bring fellow entrepreneur success. Let's figure this thing out together.

My purpose is connecting and bringing joy to others through experiences.

I am big on branding and presentation.

I believe in the power of networking.

My passion is event planning.

I am extremely blessed.

I am a creative.

I love fashion.

This is who I am. I hope to connect and learn who you are on January 20th!
