Hey! I’m Shanika, the creator of the I Am Shanika Mashae Blog. Early 2020 (before we knew what that year would become), I was in my hotel room getting my clothes ready for meetings the next day and it dawned on me that I somewhere along the way I’d stopped putting any effort into what I was wearing except for when I traveled or had a big meeting at work. It’s easy to get stuck when dealing with the ins and outs and ups and downs of everyday life. But, that realization made me ready to pull it all back together!
Before I knew it and without much time to think about it and talk myself out of it, I had an Instagram page that was supposed to be a daily work wear diary. You know…pictures or it didn’t happen. I told very few people in my circle about this page but I started posting. I became inspired to get up and get dressed again!
And then…well, we all lived through 2020 together! I felt a bit loss as to what to do with my IG space. I enjoyed the community and engagement I’d started building, and despite my growing fondness of wearing sweatpants and leggings to work I wasn’t quite ready to give it up.
So after a pivot, and a slow transition into my new normal I decided to share more of me. I am a Mom, Daughter, Employee, Sister and Friend to name a few. I am also still figuring me out!
Here on the I Am Shanika Mashae Blog, you can expect lifestyle, fashion, career talks and everything in between. I am glad you are here and I hope that you will stay awhile!
