Shekierra Jones, a junior at Georgia State University, is proving that determination and vision can pave the way for both academic success and entrepreneurial growth. She is the proud daughter of Joseph Jones and the late Nancy Bonner. Shekierra has consistently excelled in the classroom, earning a place on the Dean’s List for three consecutive years. Most recently, her dedication was recognized when she was awarded the prestigious Mark

Balancing life as a full-time student at Georgia State University with a business and the owner has not come without its challenges, but Shekierra views them as stepping stones. “Every late night and early morning is an investment in my future,” she reflects. “I want to inspire others to know that you can build something for yourself while still chasing your education and dreams.”…
