Book Shawanna!

Shawanna Vaughn is a public speaker and the founder of Silent Cry Inc. A native of Bakersfield, California, Shawanna is a mother of two.

Silent Cry Inc. is the product of the tears she shed while overcoming the pain and hardships of incarceration, the loss of a brother to gang initiation violence, and surviving cancer. Shawanna knows a thing or two about heartbreaks and she's not going to let any more tears fall without fighting back. That is why Shawanna created Silent Cry Inc which campaigns for social justice issues such as women’s health care, mental health among incarcerated individuals, and child abuse in foster care systems- all while providing emotional support through advocacy work.
