More than a decade ago, Shanterria had a vision, and she set out to actualize it. She wanted to host unforgettable, luxurious travel experiences, but it seemed like it would never happen. However, Shanterria has always been someone who would never give up easily. Through the stress and frustration, she worked tirelessly to create a travel agency that would stand out from the others. She was consistently met with lackluster results and trips that just couldn’t sell out. Efforts to reach out to seasoned travel industry professionals yielded no positive results as they were unwilling to lend a helping hand.

Finally, after years of trial and error, the turning point came. Travel Divas became all that she dreamed it would be, and more. She started to sell out her domestic and international trips consistently.

Her experience with creating one of the best travel agencies prompted her to lend a hand towards making a difference in the industry. Apart from being a travel agent, Shanterria is also a mentor. It took more than twice as long to build her agency than it should have been because there was no one willing to show her the ropes. However, apart from helping African-American women travel to exotic countries in groups to get an experience of a lifetime, she also offers mentorship programs to travel agents who are ready to make their agencies become top earners. Shanterria loves to travel, have fun with other beautiful black women, and enjoys the beauty of making new friends.
