MEET SHENETRA MACK
PHILANTHROPIST, ENTREPRENEUR AND
A REAL WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE
There are many titles that can describe
Shenetra Mack - Philanthropist,
Entrepreneur, Manager, and the
one title she considers as her biggest
blessing is being a – Mother.
S
HENETRA is a very
proud mother of
two amazing
children –Taylor
and Cecil Mack, IV.
After graduating
from Florida
A&M University
(FAMU), Shenetra
returned to her
hometown,
Miami, to begin
her career.
It was then that
she began to
take note of all
of the disparities
in health care
and education for
those that come
from underserved
communities. It is that
thought that sparked the
fire for her to return to school.
Shenetra graduated from Florida
International University (FIU) with her
Masters in Health Care Administration.
In 2009, while home on maternity
leave Shenetra noticed that there
were a great number of children

getting into mischief because they did not have
a place to go or anything to do.
It was then that she founded, ASPIRE To, Inc
(A2) – a Non-Profit 501(c)3 Youth Mentoring
Organization.
A2’s Vision is to enhance the quality
of life of our participants
by providing resources,
services, education,
networking
opportunities along
with advocacy
and promoting
self-awareness
within our
communities.
She believes
that when our
youth improve
the quality of
their lives, the
communities
to which they
contribute will
also improve.
In 2012, Shenetra
and her business
partner, Javid Hepburn,
founded Fabulous Girls
Rock (FGR).
FGR represents a movement of
women who empower, encourage,
motivate, inspire and support, our
mission to shift the culture of women
supporting women.
