About the Author

Shan Otare transformed herself from a teen mom of four living in Section 8 housing into an executive at a multimillion-dollar company and eventually walked away from it all to honor her calling. Originating the hashtag #GhettoToGlobal, Shan has employed a beating-the-odds mindset in transforming herself, her family, and thousands of other families over the years. With her infectious laugh and her lighthearted and unassuming approach to teaching through storytelling, whether one-on-one, in a large crowd, or now on the written page, Shan’s charisma has led her to be affectionately dubbed “the Polynesian Oprah.” Shan resides in Kona, Hawaii, with her husband, Kapena. They are recently semiretired empty-nesters. When they are not traveling to Europe and the US East Coast to visit their adult daughters, they work together on real estate projects and contribute time to support their community.
