About

Hey there! I’m ShaElla Askew-Henry—Communications Manager by day, social media strategist by passion, and storyteller always. I believe in the power of good coffee, good Wi-Fi, and great content.

When I’m not building brands or breaking down analytics, you can find me being a mom to four, a wife, a proud “Gigi,” and the unofficial spokesperson for kangaroo-themed chaos (yes, Kangaroo Willie has his own storyline—don’t ask unless you have snacks).

My journey has taken me from shy student to spotlight speaker, from sending my kids off to school to advocating for them in the halls of Congress. I write about everything from education and advocacy to branding and Black girl joy—because life is too complex (and too hilarious) for just one lane.

Let’s connect and collaborate—or just share memes and marketing tips. I’m game for both.

Grounded: Community Engagement Matters Most When Things Go Wrong
Over the past few weeks, I dealt with two very different communication situations. One was relatively small. A parent showed up for a school event only to discover it had been canceled. No one intentionally left her out of the loop. The communication simply was not as strong as it could have been, and there was a tiny gap. But a tiny communication gap can still cost someone their time. What made me proud was how the school leadership responded. There was no, “Well, we posted it,” or “She...

Before We Put Robots in Classrooms, Can We Invest in Teachers?
No offense to technology...but what in the Black Mirror is going on? A New York school district , Salamanca City Central School District, planned to introduce a nearly $58,000 humanoid robot and digital teaching assistant into a high school before pausing the program following concerns from educators, state officials, and the community. The district says the robot was designed to support teachers, not replace them, but I still believe we are losing the plot. A.I. Pulling Up to Support A.I....
