More About Shante Saulsberry:
My name is Shante Saulsberry, and I am one of the Founders and CEO of Janice’s Women’s Center. A center for homeless women and women suffering from domestic violence. Not only am I one of the founders of a domestic violence center, but I am also a domestic violence survivor myself.
I have been through a lot in my 38 years of life and when asked “If you had a superpower, what would it be?” Mine would be to heal. I guess because through-out my pain in life all I ever wanted to happen was healing.
