We asked some of the most inspiring folks we know to tell us what they are inspired by.

Shanavia Evans | Life Coach, Professional Model, Fashion Designer, and Author.

Throughout my life, I’ve been inspired by change, elevation, my gifts, and people. Living in this world as a spiritual human being, I realized that being able to show people that they are unique in so many ways allows me to continue to be inspired to help people find their gifts. I love being able to show people that the end is not the end.

You have to be willing to take the risk, no matter how scary they may seem. Let the benefits of the risk inspire you to use your gifts. Seeing others on the other side after they’ve struggled with change allows me to see that by being in tune with my gifts, God will shine through me. Read more>>

Every single time I create art, I’m trying to find new challenges and obstacles that I can overcome so I can create a substance that is unbelievably interesting to look at. Something that pleases your eyes and mind. Read more>>
