As a kid growing up in Athens, GA the mischievous brown-eyed girl loved being the center of attention. Her younger years were filled with dance lessons, cheerleading uniforms and honor roll report cards. She recalls participating in all types of sports including track and field, softball and basketball. Looking back Sheneka admits her love of athletics could've been related to her love of having a captive audience.As a teen Sheneka's role model was her father. The successful businessman was the first black man to play baseball in the county and later transitioned that success into a million dollar business. While Sheneka's father doted on her and cultivated his daughter as a social southern belle, he also taught her the value and rewards of hard work. Working for her father enabled her to help her mother and her siblings, but most importantly it showed her that she could accomplish anything if she put her mind to it.It wasn't long before she became aware of another avenue to claim the spotlight. A huge Beyonce fan, Sheneka was intrigued with magazines, music videos and movies featuring her favorite heroine. Her penchant for entertainment became an obsession. Sheneka immediately knew she'd found her niche. She wanted to be a star. She wanted all eyes on her, and she wanted them to stay there.After high school she headed to Atlanta, the new black Hollywood, determined to see her dreams transition to reality. Not long after relocating to Atlanta, Sheneka did a photoshoot with a photographer she met on online. Soon Sheneka found herself starring in a video with Soulja Boy and Bow Wow for their hit single "Marco Polo." Little things may make her happy, but Sheneka's goals were never simple. Today she is focused on growing her brand and heading a million dollar empire. A beauty correspondent, she currently has a deal with a cosmetics company and several others on the table, as well as her own hair extensions line, S.Adams Collection. In addition to being a spokesperson, Sheneka authors a popular self help blog and is currently working on a book.In addition to entertainment, Sheneka enjoys doing non-profit work and making a difference in the lives of young women. She enjoys interacting with her females on twitter and instagram and giving advice to young girls who have stars in their eyes like she did years ago in Athens. Hide
