About
Short N Sweet Ent
Born and raised in the Bronx, Shauntay is an educator, freelance Journalist, and music enthusiast who embodies what it means to go after your dreams. Growing up in New York City she learned quickly how to survive rough times and what it takes to get through obstacles.
Her drive and focus lead her on a pathway to have control over what she wants out of life. As an educated African-American woman, she believes in the power of education. She has obtained a Bachelors of Arts degree in African, African American, Diaspora Studies, and Sociology from Wheaton College (MA) and a Master’s degree in Childhood Education from Relay Graduate School (NY).
While cultivating her passion for dance, Shauntay earned her first internship at AileyCamp, a program within the Alvin Ailey Arts In Education and Community Programs. It was there that she began to fully understand how the power of movement and music could change one’s life.
Her vision was to use her voice to create a platform to empower and uplift positive stories in our culture and bring them to the forefront of our communities and she is doing just that.
Short N Sweet Entertainment is the perfect art of storytelling through various and dynamic interviews, pictures, and videos. She has fostered a safe space for those to tell their authentic story. ​
