Shanika Jones

NEW DRAFT - Yes I CAN! 💪🏾

My name is Shanika Jones AKA Nika Boo. I am a 30 year old independent, determined young adult who has conquered many trials. I was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 14, 2 years after losing my mother. Upon beginning high school, I was also diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, Sarcoidosis, and Reynaud's Disease. Despite my health issues and numerous hospital stays, I was able to complete and graduate high school and attended WSSU for 2 years. Although I didn't graduate, I managed to get a job at the Forsyth County Department of Social Services for 2 years, along with a few part time jobs, and worked as a summer camp counselor at my church.
