Hey, to all the Mommas, Creatives, and beautifully complex, multi-hyphenated souls figuring this whole life thing out one day at a time! I’m Sh’Kia—an actress, writer, producer, singer, and freelance hairstylist. Oh, and a new mom. I’m a wife. A multi-hyphenate. A storyteller. A woman navigating this crazy, beautiful, exhausting, and fulfilling journey of balancing motherhood and creativity.

Why I Started This Blog About Balancing Motherhood and Creativity?

I created Multi-Hyphenated Momma as a space for us to talk about everything—the highs, the lows, the moments in between, the hustle, the art, the baby giggles, the breakdowns, the breakthroughs.

Because let’s be real, balancing motherhood and creativity is no joke. One minute, you’re changing diapers. The next, you’re memorizing lines, booking gigs, writing scripts, or setting up a self-tape with a newborn on your hip. Some days, you feel like you’re on top of the world. Other days? You’re just hoping you can find a somewhat cute outfit to wear. (Shoutout to all the mommas wearing a nursing bra every day, all day. I see you!)

Here’s a little about me:

• I was born and raised in Oakland, Florida, a small town with a big personality.
• I grew up singing in the church choir and later played flute in school bands, eventually earning a music scholarship to Florida Atlantic University.
• My love for storytelling led me to acting, screenwriting, and producing, where I’ve had the honor of creating and starring in projects that reflect my truth and culture.
• You might’ve seen me as Malika ‘Kold’ Wise on WEtv & AllBlk’s Kold x Windy or in Atlanta’s final season alongside Donald Glover and Zazie Beetz. Most recently, I appeared in Tyler Perry’s Caught Up on BET+.
• My writing has been recognized in various screenplay competitions, and I was a staff writer on CLEO TV’s Tough Love: Atlanta.
• In 2024, I self-published my first book, Quiet Storms of a Flawda Girl’s Diary, a collection of short stories inspired by my upbringing and love for raw, honest storytelling.
• In 2025, I created a companion blog and podcast, Flawda Girls’ Diaries, to continue the storytelling journey I started with my book.
