My Name is Shantell Marie, I am what you would call the "Black Sheep"! All my life I never fit in. Watching everyone else own their identify and creations, was a burden because no matter where I went or what I did it was never enough for my surroundings. I always thought, “why can't I just be normal and fit in like everyone else, and why do I always feel like I was just dropped off here to this planet? “How come I don’t know who I Am”? After many failed attempts in life, I finally had a breakthrough at the age of 28 years old.
In 2020 during the pandemic in isolation, the worst breakup of my life was occurring. Completely devastated, by all the things transpiring I was in search for something more meaningful and purposeful. In this search and rescue season of my life is when I discovered God. This discovery changed my life.
I had nothing but time in the house, heavy thoughts on my mind thinking, how was I going to get over this hurt.
The world was shut out, all I had was God, my thoughts and my son.
When my son would sleep, I would talk to God and ask for answers. Seek and you shall find is the words that stuck out to me on the tv screen one day after I was done praying. Desperately I picked up my bible and God led me to psalms 91, this is what stood out to me the most.
" Whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadows of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Surely, he will save me from the fowlers snare and from the deadly pestilence".
To be able to acquire such wealth is truly a blessing and I don't mean wealth as in material money, but wealth in the spirit. This passage truly carried me all my days in isolation, making me new. I was able get the emotional support I needed from the bible as well as the strength I needed to be able to create something that would stamp to stamp the identity I had always been searching for. Truly God does work in mysterious ways!
Watching a sermon one day, I received the instructions to one of my greatest creations. I heard the women say, “God wants you to take your hurt and pain and transmute all that energy into innovation. If you've been looking for yourself, you will find it in what you create with your pain.”
“Do not retaliate on those who hurt you, be still GOD is the way.” Don’t speak, regardless of what others are doing to you, just work and your promises will be Fulfilled .”
I was instantly inspired, I went to the store brought a poster board, cut some pictures out of a magazine that applied to what I wanted and pasted it to the board.
Then I took action, I collected materials for my creation one by one until I had everything. Day in and day out I worked diligently to complete all the things on my board until I had the finished product before my eyes.
This was not an easy process, I had many nights where I cried and doubted that this would ever truly come to life, some nights I even quit.
There were two major things on my list that I have currently right now
One of them was my Vegan lip gloss, that has now turned into a full makeup line
“V3NOM COSMETICS"
The other is Real-estate
