Pegged a Gender Advocate, Dr. Shekina Moore believes developing discipline and healthy esteem in girls is the key to tapping into their leadership capacity.
She empowers audiences with her 5 Principles for F.I.E.R.C.E. Success. She has spoken out against gender oppression and disempowerment since 1992, penning her first published 
article, “Blocking Out the Gender Gap”, while a high school student. This article garnered the attention of the National Press for Women. She has also authored several girls empowerment books including Beautiful, Big-boned and Brown; Black Girls Hear: Untold Stories of the Marginalized, Unsafe & Unwelcomed; and co-author of When Dark Chocolate is Bittersweet: Controversy Within A Culture.
Dr. Shekina worked extensively in the school systems of North Carolina and it was during this time that Shekina began to notice that girls really did not have a voice. Answering that call to empower girls, Dr. Shekina launched Fierce Girl Empowerment Movement, to inspire females to show up in their own lives that they may ignite those watching and taking notes. The Movement includes B2F Girls!™, a nationwide resource for women with a calling to mentor girls. Her work in gender advocacy has been recognized by the GA House of Representatives, the White House, and The Huffington Post. Dr. Moore was also recognized by Girls World Marketing Group as one of 50 Empowering Women Who Empower Girls.
She has been featured in many publications, TV and news programs, including Bravo TV, Forbes, CW-22, WSB-TV 2 Atlanta, 108 Praise Radio, The Huffington Post, SHEEN, Connected Woman Magazine, and Carolina STYLE Magazine, to name a few. She was also selected as a national semi-finalist for Proctor & Gamble’s My Black Is Beautiful Ambassador Search (2014) and is listed among the Who’s Who in Black Atlanta. She is also the Editor-In-Chief at Formidable Woman Magazine where “We. Inspire. Accomplished. Women.”
A Certified Life, Youth, Parent and Image Coach–as well as a Certified and Licensed Educator and School Administrator–Shekina employs her depth of knowledge and experience to help both individuals and organizations to gain clarity and make an impact in their areas of influence.
