🌟 Meet Shani T. – Co-Host of Sis, We Made It! 🌟
She/Her/Hers | Ann Arbor OG (by way of Honolulu 🌺) | 50 & Flourishing
Shani T. is a proud Gen X queen serving real talk, justice, and joy with a side of island warmth. Born in paradise (shoutout to Honolulu!) but rooted in Michigan since she was 10, she’s a living blend of aloha spirit and Midwest soul.
👑 #FirstBornExcellence: The oldest of four, she’s been leading the pack since day one—and yes, her parents are still #CoupleGoals (give ‘em their flowers now!).
⚖️ Justice Warrior: With a Criminal Justice degree from Ferris State, she’s spent years fighting for housing stability and dignity as a caseworker. Because community care isn’t just her job—it’s her calling.
💍 Love & Legacy: Married for 16 years (together for 25—yes, do the math!), she and her hubby are raising a 15-year-old soccer star/boxing phenom who keeps their schedules and their hearts full.
🌱 Blossoming Hobbies: When she’s not advocating or mom-ing, you’ll find her:
- Sipping new teas like a sommelier of serenity 🍵
- Nurturing her plant babies (green thumb in progress!) 🌿
- Cooking up love in the kitchen (soul food = soul therapy) 🍳
- Collecting fragrances because a signature scent is a mood ✨
- Jet-setting newbie—passport ready, world beware! 🌎
🎙️ Why Sis, We Made It!?
Life’s taught her that Black Gen X women deserve their flowers now—not just in retrospect. Through laughs, lessons, and real-life stories, this podcast is your reminder: You’ve survived. You’ve thrived. Now, let’s enjoy the ride.
🔥 Tune in for:
- Social justice with soul
- Parenting, partnership, and personal joy
- The beauty of midlife reinvention
- And the unapologetic pursuit of your happiness
Sis, we did make it—let’s live like we know it! 🎤💖
(Cue the theme music and pour the tea…) 🎶☕
