About Me

Shanice Dillon holds a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Old Westbury in Public Health and a master of Science in Health Administration from Hofstra university. She is a first-time author whose writing was driven by her desire to uplift her community and women around her through her words and shared experiences. 

Shanice is passionate about her work. She has worked to helped non-profits in the New York city access grant funding to provide services to their underserved members. Currently she works in Supplier Relationship Management, which enables her to create safe spaces for diverse suppliers and foster collaboration. Shanice’s work in the healthcare industry allows her to hone both passions at the same time. 

Through her work, she fosters relationships with internal and external stakeholders to help drive change within her health network.  Shanice strives to diversify the healthcare field and ensure access to quality healthcare for all. Her current professional endeavor is a great source of pride for her as she is developing a supplier diversity program that will allow minority businesses locally to become preferred vendors of the health network in which she works. 

As a wife, daughter, and mother, Shanice is all too familiar with the challenges of life. 

She wrote Positive Affirmations for The Melanin Soul as an outlet to express her feelings and work through mental obstacles that spill over into her day-to-day life. 

Positive Affirmations for The Melanin Soul is a journal containing strategies that were helpful in getting through some of the most difficult moments of her life such as depression, anxiety, and the fear of failure. It is a tool in which both women and men can be creative and channel their emotions through the power of writing. 

Shanice always struggled with expressing her feelings and thoughts. Being able to write it all down and seeing all her stressors on paper allowed here to navigate towards her goals and put unclear thoughts into perspective. This journal helped her to take charge of her life after the pandemic.  When Shanice not working, she can usually be found spending time with her husband and two kids or globetrotting.
