We had the good fortune of connecting with Sheena Marshall and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sheena, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
Surrounding myself with strong women inspires me each and everyday. Community and connection are my why, and I believe that when we uplift each other, there is space for us all to go far. I am grateful that I am also able to offer women simple, functional, and consciously handmade jewelry as a reminder of their strength. Sheena Marshall jewelry is for the woman making empowered choices for themselves and the jewelry they wear.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Hustling has been the name of the game for me for as long as I can remember. I was that girl in your high school hustling to sell her hand rolled clay jewelry line while waiting tables at her waitressing job. I’m that one friend who’s always working on some kind of side hustle on top of her full time job. I didn’t grow up with much as a kid, but I wasn’t the type to accept that as my future and knew I could write a new story. A story in which I empowered myself and others to do more and be more. I realized at an early age that my reality did not have to define my future, so I found ways to foster my entrepreneurial spirit, even if I had to create my own path. In high school, my best friend and I hand rolled polymer clay beads and sold them to friends, family and coworkers in packaging with handwritten labels. I have always felt empowered to create a strong community and connection around women, which led me to create Sheena Marshall Jewelry. Jewelry for women making empowered choices. I wanted to create jewelry that I know a lot of women have trouble finding — jewelry that is simple, functional, and consciously made.
