I've had the pleasure of knowing Shawni Davis for over a year now, since she began hosting social events at my apartment complex, and I can honestly say her presence has brought a real sense of community and warmth to our space. What truly sets Shawni apart is the intentionality she brings to every event. She doesn’t just plan events—she curates experiences that support local businesses and bring neighbors together. Some of my personal favorites have been Macaron Day, the Spring Cleaning Giveaway, and the always-fun Pie Day. And of course, our annual social gatherings and holiday celebrations—especially the Christmas event—are always something to look forward to. What I find most inspiring about Shawni is her genuine connection with the residents. She remembers names, stories, and details about people’s lives. I once saw her speaking so compassionately with a resident recovering from an injury, encouraging them and connecting with them on such a human level. That’s the kind of heart she brings to her work. In a world where so many interactions are transactional, Shawni brings something different: real relationship-building. Her events aren’t just about free food or giveaways—they’re about community, encouragement, and creating joyful moments for everyone. She often works alongside her son, which is beautiful to see. It’s clear she’s not only investing in her work but also in showing her child what it means to lead with care, excellence, and integrity. Shawni is sincere, hardworking, polite, courageous, and just a joy to be around. Her energy, her smile, and her dedication to making every event special truly make her stand out. I’m grateful to know her and always excited to see what she’s planning next.
