Episode description

This week, we sit down with the phenomenal Shá Summerlin, a powerhouse mom, entrepreneur, and former R&B/Soul recording artist, to discuss her unexpected autism journey.

Shá’s youngest son, Qian, was diagnosed with autism at 12 years old, a revelation that came as puberty brought aggressive and unexpected challenges to the forefront. Before that, autism was never on their radar, leading her through a long and emotional journey of specialists, ER visits, and tests before finally getting answers.

Shá’s story is one of resilience, discovery, and empowerment as she continues to build a legacy for her children and grandchildren.

Tune in to hear Shá’s incredible journey.
