We had the good fortune of connecting with Sheterria Elliott and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Sheterria, how do you think about risk?
When it Comes to Risk taking I feel as though it can be the difference between reaching that goal and staying stagnant. Risk taking will be the difference between the birth of your success and the demise of your procrastination. In my life/career risk taking is what woke me up, and allowed me to see that success does not come easy nor overnight.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My Name is Sheterria Heaven Elliott, I am an internationally published Model, Tiktoker, YouTuber, bullying advocate for Albinism & entrepreneur. On my journey of becoming who I am today it definitely was not easy, many times of feeling hopeless, like I served no purpose in this world. Many times of uncontrollable tears because I wanted to just be “normal”. I was born with Albinism which is a genetic condition when you are born with little to no pigment in your Hair, Skin & Eyes. Just like any other human being with a difference growing up in a world where everyone is so quick to judge the book by its cover can be devastating. You question your self worth, your identity and your ability to be something great. With the help of my family I grew from a child who had no confidence, continuously bullied, ostracized, and lost. Into a Confident, advocating young women who now knew the purpose God proclaimed over my life. I now have a children’s serious written about me called “But mommy it’s not fair” which teaches children about Albinism and to embrace your differences, I have an Anti- Cyberbullying bill in my name called the “Imagine Sheterria Elliott act” Senate Bill 626., Ive been able to influence and teach other’s about the beauty of differences through my social media platforms, I speak to hundreds of kids about the importance of not giving up and remaining true to yourself, I’m an international Published model, i’ve done commercials, music videos, magazines. I’m truly blessed and proud of who i’ve become! When I speak to children who have been through what i’ve been through I always tell them, I wanted to give up…. sometimes I didn’t want to be here anymore, I was tired and ready to give up, But if I would have gave up…. I wouldn’t have seen myself reach the point to where I am now in life! & for that very reason that’s why I say, TAKE YOJR RISKS, & NEVER GIVE UP! Your success just might be the push somebody needed to keep going. so many people message me telling me how proud I make them feel about their own skin because i’m breaking barriers & that is my motivation each and everyday. Who would’ve thought that “That albino girl” Would grow to be this women filled with purpose that they all are witnessing today.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When it comes to my favorite spots to hangout they change literally every time I go out! I’m a foodie & I love to try new things! Me and my friends look up cute places on tiktok to eat at and we literally just pick a weekend and go for it! South beach, Lincoln road, Fort Lauderdale beach, there are new adventures everywhere in Miami. 9-10 we’ll end up at a lounge after all is done.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Huge shoutout to my Village. My Mom, my dad, & my siblings. They have truly lifted me up in my times of need. Without the support of my family I wouldn’t be the women I am today.
