We had the good fortune of connecting with Shaniyah Wiggins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shaniyah, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
My legacy is the impact and value I have on everyone around me and everyone who comes in contact with me. I think that’s the greatest of it all because everyone will have different views and that’s okay! I want people to remember that i was truly the rose that grew from concrete. I lost both parents to the prison system really early and from there the doubts from the outsiders came. I want everyone to remember that i survived everything set up to destroy me. I broke the generational curses in my family and most importantly i made an impact through my craft.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
IkonAlign is a natural skincare company that helps people improve and maintain their skincare conditions using holistic approaches and natural ingredients. We’ve grown into a selfcare brand that is all about viewing our ikons as a whole person and not just a customer who is seeking a remedy for their complaints. The main lesson I’ve learned along my journey is to stay out of my own head and to never seek approval for my creativity. i want the world to know that my brand is making an impact within communities across Nashville and wherever opportunities will take us!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Luckily my best friend lives in Nashville and our favorite place to visit is The PSV Store it’s really a hidden gem in Nashville. Its a unique spot with events usually planned out for the weekend. For eats we would stop by pinewood social for their bomb waffles.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate this shoutout to Terrance, the owner of The PSV Store here in Nashville. from the beginning he’s been supportive & he gave my brand an opportunity in his space 2 years ago and we’ve flourished since then! I truly appreciate him for seeing the Ikon in me when i couldn’t see it! Thank you for everything big Bro!
