TEDx Speaker: Dr. Shaniqua Jones


Great afternoon all,

I am so excited to share that I will finally see a professional dream come true this evening.

After 8 long years of applying.....today on solar eclipse day; April 8, 2024, I will reign with prominent leaders across the globe as a TEDx Speaker. 8 = new beginnings. This is my new beginning!

Thank you for your love and support. More details to come in the next two weeks when my talk is released to the world. My topic is From Trauma to Healing: The 5 Rs of Restorative Justice.

Dreams do come true when you put in the work, operate in alignment with integrity, and most importantly, keep God first.
