Accountability is the only way to learn from our mistakes and grow together as a community.

How Shelby Got To This Point  

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a bit of my personal history so that those who don’t know me yet can get a real sense of who I am and what I stand for. I’ll be posting links by age group, breaking down different parts of my life so you can read my story in a way that feels relatable and real.

We all come from different backgrounds, shaped by how we were raised—and we can’t keep ignoring how much that matters. Our differences don’t divide us—they explain us. And if we truly want to build a better future, we need to start by understanding one another.
