Writing a memoir is difficult, writing it when it will affect those around you significantly is overwhelming. Writing a book about her life and the healing and growth she has experienced was a way to share her story and hopefully be a lesson and inspiration for others.

From an inspirational influence of her grandmother to the role of the church in making her feel distant from family and friends we cover the gamut of things that influenced her decision to publish this compelling book.

Finishing season 2 of The Spot Mag podcast with the energetic and inspiring Shannon Mack.
After her radio career on the East coast came to a halt, she relocated to Los Angeles. Since relocating, Shannon has starred in several commercials for companies like Anna’s Linens, Just Fab Shoes, and Hallmark. In addition, she was featured on BET’s “The Boot” and TLC’s “What Not to Wear.” While pursuing an acting career was fun for Shannon, it was not her passion. So, she decided to get back into radio. In April 2015, Shannon launched her very own internet radio station, “Smack Urban Radio.” SUR had 4 channels: Hip-Hop and R&B, Dancehall, Soca and Podcasts. Shannon also spoke on important topics that affected peoples’ daily lives. She motivated her listeners to become better individuals and gave a small scoop of celebrity gossip on each show.
In July 2018, Shannon launched her own YouTube celebrity interview series called "Pedis & Mimosas." The show is centered on a meaningful conversation with a well-known celebrity while getting pampered with a good pedicure and a strong mimosa. You never know what your favorite celebrity will reveal while sipping on mimosas during a pedicure, even the quarantine edition. She conducts interviews like you’ve never seen before. Shannon holds a BA in Communications with a Minor in Theatre as well as an MBA from the University of Phoenix.
Pedis and mimosa creator and now Quarantini and Mimosas host Shannon Mack. This vibrant, charismatic, charming, and inviting woman shares her story on creating a platform where people can keep it real and share their stories. From her favorite guest, tips she has learned along the way, and how she is doing it all for the culture this interview is filled with gems!!
