Avocado and Pineapple Spread: A collection of poems, prose, and musings about codependency

For Shanda Renee, creative expression is the prose that makes life more meaningful. At a young age, she knew that her creative outlet of choice - writing - would allow her to make a positive impact in people’s lives. Rather than letting severe trauma mar her purpose, she explores ways to create jewels out of the pain so that others can experience its beauty. Shanda Renee is looking forward to helping people heal their childhood wounds through songwriting, scriptwriting, and dance projects, among others. Additionally, Shanda Renee is currently working on a children’s book that will explore topics such as school bullying. She also looks forward to working with children through anti-bullying projects. Shanda is a professional copywriter, digital marketer, and aspiring entrepreneur. She currently resides in Dallas, TX, with her golden retriever mix.
