Motivational speaker, businesswoman and author Bershan Shaw is

their greatness and find their warrior within. Bershan Shaw will host a launch
event to honor Warriors in the industry dedicated to assisting and educating
people in finding their way to a healthier and better life. The launch
event will be held on Wednesday, June 4 at INGLOT Studios, 75 9th Avenue New
York, NY from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.
The Celebrity Honorees
include:
Amber
Sabathia, Executive Director of PitCCh In Foundation & wife of
CC Sabathia, pitcher for the New York Yankees. Their main focus
is to enrich the lives of inner city youth in the New York Tri State and in
their home town of Vallejo, CA.
Yandy
Smith, Star of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop and President and CMO of EGL
“Everything Girls Love” dedicated to empower and uplift women in all aspects.
The goal of EGL is to provide women with resources to help them live a full
life.
Sharon

currently serves as a host on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ innovative new music
network, Revolt TV.
The Everyday Warriors
include:
Nicole
Winn, Ambassador for the American Heart Association, who recently
launched their Heart Disease Awareness Month campaign in Times Square and
throughout New York. The campaign focuses on helping women across America fight
the battle against heart disease.
Justine Grant,
Model diagnosed with lupus November 2013. Modeling and living with
lupus is difficult to juggle, so Justine decided to focus her attention on
bringing awareness to such a tragic and mysterious disease.
Additionally, several “Everyday
Warriors” throughout the tri-state area who use art, poetry and photography as
their medium to express their pain, suffering, loss and everyday struggles, have
been invited to exhibit their work. They will share their stories of amazing
strength and personal journey to finding their inner Warrior.
The URAWARRIOR
platform, which includes the “Warrior Wall,” started as an online awareness
campaign, which has now evolved into a social networking platform with the
mission to inspire others to not live in fear and silence. Dubbed the “Facebook
for support and healing,” the website features a community page — where current
topics users are discussing are posted; blogs — original articles are submitted
by users and dedicated bloggers; a “peeps” section — to release thoughts, videos
and pictures, as well as a string of user driven conversations. Resources are
also made available for each topic in discussion to ensure users receive the
assistance needed. A shop tab for the URAWARRIOR inspirational jewelry created
by Bershan is also available.
ABOUT BERSHAN
SHAW
In April, on OWN: Oprah Winfrey
Network's new docu-series “Love in the City,” viewers were introduced to Bershan
Shaw as a survivor – in every sense of the word. The show featured the
fast-paced lives of four fabulous and real life friends living in New York City,
displaying their everyday lives as women dealing with careers, romance, and
life-altering struggles. Although life for Bershan may be fabulous now, just a
few years ago, that couldn’t have been further from reality. After surviving
breast cancer the first time in 2007, Bershan was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast
cancer in 2009 and told she only had three months to live. This devastating news
sent Bershan on a journey to change her life and help others. Bershan worked
tirelessly on her physical, mental, and spiritual health. She became a certified
life coach and founded URAwarrior.com – an online social networking site for
support. Armed with newfound determination and purpose, Bershan’s life goal is
to help people reinvent themselves, step into their greatness and find their
warrior within. Five years later, Bershan has no evidence of disease and is
helping others become a warrior.
