I AM COACH SHONDA
Allow me to present Coach Shonda, an extraordinary luminary in the sphere of personal development, who seamlessly embodies the essence of a devoted wife, nurturing mother, certified trauma-informed recovery coach, and an inspiring beacon of motivation. As a self-published author and innovative entrepreneur, she possesses an unparalleled ability to connect with women who have traversed similar tumultuous paths. Drawing from her own harrowing experiences of trauma—ranging from molestation and rape to the trials of cancer, abandonment, and the heavy burden of religious trauma—Coach Shonda has transformed her adversities into a source of empowerment. Rather than allowing her past to dictate her identity, she has risen above the misunderstandings and dismissals of those around her, embarking on a courageous journey of healing through counseling, supported unwaveringly by her husband and therapist.
Today, she stands as a passionate advocate for women who have endured ridicule and hardship, offering them a voice and a sanctuary to initiate their own healing processes. Coach Shonda firmly asserts that "healing starts with being heard uninterrupted," and she is devoted to empowering individuals to achieve success in every aspect of their lives—professionally, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Understanding that healing is a shared journey, she founded F3 Women Empowerment, a nurturing space designed to provide women with the support, motivation, mentorship, and love necessary to navigate the intricate landscape of their emotions and experiences. With a particular focus on women in corporate environments, where many conceal their traumas behind polished exteriors, Coach Shonda aims to dismantle the masks that often obscure true feelings, fostering a non-judgmental atmosphere where authenticity can flourish. Through F3, she extends open arms and a heartfelt embrace to women everywhere, creating a safe haven for those in need of solace and understanding.
Mission Statement
Our commitment is to create an inclusive and nurturing environment where women, particularly those who have encountered hardships, can find solace, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner power. We understand the significant effects of trauma and the hurdles life presents, and we are dedicated to accompanying women on their journeys through every phase of their lives. By cultivating an atmosphere of trust, transparency, and unity, we inspire women to express their experiences, recognize their value, and turn challenges into victories. United, we elevate one another through kindness, empathy, and steadfast encouragement.
ABOUT ORGANIZATION
F3 Women Empowerment is not just an ordinary organization, but a sanctuary for women from all walks of life. It is a place where women can come together, regardless of their social status, cultural background, or educational achievements, and find solace in the company of like-minded individuals. The organization's name, F3, encapsulates the essence of what it stands for - Friendship, Fashion, and Freedom. These three pillars represent the core values that Coach Shonda and Lady Z, the dynamic mother-daughter duo behind F3, believe are crucial in empowering women.
​
Coach Shonda, the driving force behind F3 Women Empowerment, is a visionary leader who has dedicated her life to uplifting and inspiring women. With her unwavering determination and passion, she has created a platform where women can shed their masks and embrace their true selves. Lady Z, on the other hand, brings a fresh perspective to the organization. As a young and vibrant individual, she infuses F3 with her dreams and ideas, ensuring that it remains relevant and appealing to the younger generation.
​
F3 Women Empowerment goes beyond just empowering women; it aims to heal, support, and protect them. The organization recognizes that many women have experienced trauma, feel unheard, or have been abandoned at some point in their lives. F3 provides a safe space for these women to confront their past, heal their wounds, and rediscover their inner strength. By nurturing their natural abilities and equipping them with the necessary skills, F3 Women Empowerment transforms women into true leaders who can make a positive impact in their communities. Together, they form a tribe of empowered women who uplift and assist one another, without any hidden motives or ulterior agendas.
F3 is an extraordinary organization that provides a safe haven for women to shed their masks and superhero capes, allowing them to embrace their true selves. We extend an open invitation to all women who wish to join our movement, encouraging them to come as they are, leaving behind any preconceived judgments at the entrance. It is important to remember that we are all on a journey of healing, and no one person is superior to another. Within the F3 community, our remarkable women hold immense value. They possess an unwavering boldness, radiate brilliance, and unapologetically embody authenticity. Every action we take is rooted in sincerity, love, and unwavering support, with no expectations or conditions attached.
VISION STATEMENT
We envision a world where women who have experienced trauma are not only supported in their healing journeys but are also empowered to reclaim their strength and voice. This transformative process fosters resilience, enabling them to rise above their past experiences and embrace their full potential. By creating safe spaces and providing access to resources, education, and community support, we aim to cultivate an environment where these women can thrive, inspire others, and contribute meaningfully to society. Our commitment is to champion their stories, celebrate their victories, and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to heal, grow, and lead with confidence.
