Excerpt from BREATHE
I am a storyteller at heart, weaving words into narratives that captivate and connect. I have a passion for crafting impactful content, bringing ideas to life through the words I write. My writing is a divine bridge-linking insight with creativity, clarity, and emotion. Every sentence is an opportunity to inform, inspire, and engage, while always staying true to the nucleus of the message. With a discovering eye for detail and affection for language, I breathe life into stories that resonate long after they’re read. I’m Shada Harris and I am the story!
