ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hey guys, I’m Shytaun (Please call me Shy)!
My husband Darren and I have been married since 2013 and are raising our 5 sons Darre’aun, Amiri, Christian, Azariah, and Ethan, while navigating life, love, and growth right here from Arizona (for now). I am also an Arizona native.
Crowned in Purpose was created as a space to share my real, unfiltered journey from childhood, healing, motherhood, and everything in between. What started as storytelling is growing into something deeper: a place for reflection, connection, and stepping boldly into who you’re meant to be.
I earned my Associate of Arts in Psychology from Paradise Valley Community College in May 2025, graduating with honors and distinction in academic excellence. My studies focused on how trauma and family dynamics shape human behavior, while also deepening my insight and compassion for others’ experiences. I also hold a certificate in Business, strengthening my ability to build and lead with purpose.
Thank you for being here, seriously. Out of everything you could be doing, you chose to step into my world, and that means more than you know.
My hope is that as you read, you don’t just see my story, you feel something, you reflect, and maybe even find a piece of yourself in the words. So take your time, look around, and stay a while… because this space was created with PURPOSE, and now you’re a part of it.
