Guest Shawn Snipes Gasparini loved science and thought she would be a pediatrian so that she could be a role model for other kids with diabetes or kids of color. But when she started taking electives in English and film studies, she knew she was pursuing medicine for people other than herself. She changed her major at the end of junior year and left college bound for NYU film school.

She deferred for a year to make money and get a little experience so she could launch herself fully into film and storytelling. Along the way, she got the opportunity to become an assistant to Martha Stewart in the heyday of her Omnimedia empire. Shawn knew that in staying she would get exposed to lots of aspects of media and learn more about marketing, which she was starting to get interested in. She let go of the film school dream and started working in advertising and then as in-house marketing profession for some world-class brands. Though not every job provided her what she needed in the life and home department. So every so often, she’d have to call out to the universe and believe that the change she needed would happen.

In this episode, find out from Shawn how saying what you want and acting when it comes can sometimes manifest what you need…on ROADS TAKEN...with Leslie Jennings Rowley.
