Shanesha Scott

Shanesha Scott is an award‑winning author and industrial‑organizational psychologist whose passion for storytelling began in childhood. With an active imagination and a love for reading, she spent countless hours crafting stories — a creative spark that blossomed into reality with the release of her debut book, When I Got Sick: A Story of Tragedy & Triumph (2021).
Her author journey continued with Birthing the Leader Within You: Your Guide to Becoming an Effective Leader, a practical resource that equips emerging and established leaders with actionable strategies for growth. In 2024, she published her third best‑selling title, Birthing the Integrity Within You: Corporate America Edition, which earned the prestigious International Impact Book Award in 2025. Inspired by her observations of declining ethical standards in corporate America, this work reflects her unwavering commitment to integrity, accountability, and authentic leadership.
Expanding her voice into fiction, Shanesha released her debut young adult novel, Fostered: The System’s Child. This emotionally resonant story follows a teen girl navigating the foster care system, family separation, and the fight to stay connected to her siblings. Rooted in truth, resilience, and advocacy, Fostered marks a powerful new chapter in Shanesha’s mission to amplify underrepresented voices and create narratives that heal, empower, and inspire.
Beyond her writing, Shanesha is dedicated to helping people thrive both personally and professionally. As a psychologist and voice of reason, she champions resilience, ethical leadership, and human‑centered growth. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through her clothing boutique, Fad Fashions, where she merges style with empowerment.
When she isn’t writing or coaching, Shanesha enjoys spending time with her family, curating fashion, and indulging in classic films from the ’80s and ’90s.
