In her professional career, Shakeima has served in several roles in education, corporate training, and software consulting before starting her real estate career.

Her real estate career also affords her the flexibility to develop and nurture her true passion and vision: mentoring teenage girls through her nonprofit organization, D.I.V.A.S In Training whose mission is to bring out the moral excellence in teenage girls so that they can aspire for success, power and honor. Recognized as a REALTOR(R) of Distinction by her local real estate board, Shakeima is a member of the South Carolina Trident Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

A member of Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston, South Carolina, she volunteers with The Royal Foundation and teaches the teens class in the church's youth church services. Her volunteer commitments have included serving as the President for the Jenkins Institute for Children's Advisory Board and serving as a member of the Virginia College Business Advisory Board.
