Alesha Shanta 

Poet, Entrepreneur, & Empowerment Coach

Alesha Shanta is a dynamic voice of purpose, passion, and power. A native of Savannah, Georgia, and a proud graduate of A.E. Beach High School, Alesha served 21 years in the United States Air Force, retiring honorably at the rank of Master Sergeant. She is a dedicated mother of three incredible children and a woman deeply rooted in service, faith, and empowerment.

Following her military retirement, Alesha transitioned her leadership skills into multiple arenas—community outreach, poetry, business, and coaching. She holds degrees in Business and Project Management and has leveraged her global experience to teach others how to strengthen their relationships, shift their mindset, and transform their environments for success.

As a poet, Alesha has a distinctive flair for creating elegant, emotionally resonant pieces that inspire others through their struggles. Her poetic voice is both a reflection of her own journey and a tool she uses to empower others to discover their purpose. Raised in a loving, hard-working family, Alesha credits her parents for teaching her the value of faith, focus, and being a living sacrifice to God. These lessons have fueled her mission to uplift others—one speech, one poem, one moment at a time.

Alesha is the founder of the popular “Make It Happen Monday” social media series, which has been inspiring followers weekly for the past five years. Her motto, “My words may not be for everybody, but as long as they touch somebody, I will continue to be a vessel for God to use,” perfectly captures the heart of her work.

Whether through spoken word, mentorship, or motivational speaking, Alesha Shanta continues to empower others to identify their dreams and boldly pursue them—with purpose, passion, and faith.
