At the tender age of four, she received second and third-degree burns over fifty percent of her body at the hands of a babysitter. She was taken away from her mother, hospitalized, and in recovery for over a year. When she was finally well enough to go to school, she was mercilessly teased about her burn scars. But she had two secret weapons: a mind of steel and laughter. After learning “fire breathing” techniques as a way to deal with her physical pain, Megashia wasn’t affected by the hurtful taunts of her classmates. And when she realized that laughter was the best way to fight her bullies, she became the class clown and started to develop her gift for comedy. Megashia’s grandmother owned a record store, whereas she was exposed to many genres of music there along with Gospel at church. She soon began to pursue her own musical interests, playing brass instruments in several school bands before settling on her true love – percussion. A career in music was put on hold when she had children and needed to do something more practical. Coming from a long line of beauticians, Megashia decided to go to cosmetology school. It turns out she also had a talent for making her clients look and feel beautiful. She went on to open a thriving hair salon and created a line of hair care products. (More information upon request can be provided regarding Megashia’s hair care business).
Today Megashia’s largest goal is to inspire other women. She completed the leadership program at A New Way of Life, an organization helping formerly incarcerated women reconnect with their purpose. She is an ordained minister specializing in the Ministry of Music, using traditional African Drumming and healing principles to uplift and connect with women who are going through their own challenges.
