About Shavonne Vasquez
Shavonne was born into a family plagued by generations of poverty. She knows what it’s like to receive used toys for Christmas, rely on free food, live in public housing, and navigate high-crime neighborhoods. She tells us her family was undereducated, lacked opportunities, and experienced barriers they just didn’t understand how to overcome.
Fortunately, Shavonne met people who inspired her to go to college. She earned a BA in Business Administration and a BSA in Social Work. She has been working to help underprivileged populations ever since. She has seen how vital external influences are in breaking a cycle of poverty.
