In 2016 I set out to focus on things that I love, build new relationships, and take on some of my biggest fears! Setting that intention really attracted amazingness in my life.
I could really feel God’s anointing!
It was also cool to see many of you taking leaps in your life as well. The amount of new businesses, engagements, and travel imagery I seen floating across my time lines was quite impressive. I SEE YOU.

Huge shout out to my followers!! All your likes, kind words, referrals, jokes, and over all vibes are so appreciated. Plus a huge XO to my CWS, AOS, and HSC family!
The aim of
Simply Shakera Inc. is to spread Dance, Fitness, and Culture throughout the
community. These areas are very dear to me so I thank you all for embracing the
work I put out from them. When you are moving around so much writing becomes
challenging; hence the small gap since my last post but surge of videos on my
YouTube channel. Nonetheless, with Toronto Carnival season in full swing and
Pan Am Games on its way the GTA will be buzzing! There will be lots to see,
lots of moments to capture, lots of people to meet, and even more things to
write about – can’t wait!
Below are a few highlights from the past
couple of weeks:
Dance
'SS Flash Mob' on
the Marilyn Denis Show
Disguised as
audience members, the SimplyShakera flash mob initiated a marriage proposal on the March 31st
episode of the Marilyn Denis Show.
A showcase taking you back to one of the most popular hang out spots in the 1950s. Thank you to all who were in attendance! The ladies and I had a blast in our crinoline poodle skirts. Here are a few great photos taken by Billy Archos.
Fitness
Socialize,
Energize, Exercise (S.E.E.)
I missed this so
much last month! S.E.E. you Friday, May 29th for Socialize, Energize, Exercise!
New location same vibes! Dress to sweat ladies! This event is dedicated to
women connecting, women enjoying a night out and women getting physically
active! Looking forward to the latin fusion workout instructed by Carnival
Spice.
If you ever
attended a Dance An Ting event or taken a Carnival Spice workout class then you
KNOW the vibes are coming. Carnival Spice will be hosting TWO three-week
workouts in the GTA just in time for Toronto Carnival & Cropover in
Barbados. Classes are 70 minutes long and each will be a different adventure.
