Shanaya fFstje Motivational Speaker from Phoenix, AZ

Shanaya, at nineteen, is an eccentrically eloquent writer extraordinaire and aficionado of story-telling. With a boundless nonconforming imagination and special perception of her surroundings, Shanaya is inclined to incite multifarious emotional responses in her audience through enthralling narratives in the form of fiction. Her work evokes awareness of common tribulations among society in a way that will stir a craving for deeper connections with each other and with what may lie beyond us. Being profoundly inspired by mythology, symbolism, and how works of art in any form can be translated, Shanaya's writing is ambiguous, spirited by humanity's complexities and the vastness of Creation. 2017 – 2018: Shanaya acquired a favorable partnership and is co-creator of television series projects titled Transient and Realms. Ms. Fastje's broad range of talent surpasses the impression of average. When her career set in motion at a very young age as a national motivational speaker – speaking with great ardor each time (at venues such as universities and The Queen Mary, to name a few) – she quickly evolved into being distinguished as one of the youngest, most influential Latina women today and an international/national award winning author of five books by the time she was eighteen. At the age of twelve, with a unique niche of authorship, Shanaya signed a traditional publishing contract for her life-impacting, multi-international award winning book titled Bully in The Mirror; which offers tools for youths and parents alike to encourage building stronger self-esteem and confidence for a desirable life. In a remarkable turn of events, Bully in The Mirror was voted worthy for “Books to Movies” by a panel of 126 elite judges in the entertainment industry along with Latino Literacy Now Intl. and was awarded a winner of such a year later. At thirteen years old, Shanaya graduated high school with honors and nineteen credits over the requirement in Texas. Her long list of extraordinary achievements has been highly praised and Shanaya has been awarded by prominent figures including: President Barack Obama, Governor Rick Perry, Mayor John Cook – proclaiming Shanaya Fastje day in El Paso Texas –, the city of Burbank (CA) – honoring her with the Austin Cook Award –, and many more. Dedicated to her craft, Shanaya is immersed in writing her sixth book, a paranormal fantasy novel. 2018-2019 - First Place Books to Movies category - Sci/Fi more info soon!
