Shira J. was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1982, to African American parents. At the very
young age of three, Shira became interested in entertaining. The
only way in which she could cultivate her art was by joining any musical team
or club she could find, so she played cello for 13 years (until age 21), joined
the theater department, and joined her high school dance team.
In school, Shira
excelled in her subjects, all with the hopes of becoming a physician. She
hoped only to please the likes of her peers and family with the similar
educational background by maintaining normalcy – but Shira was nothing
“normal.”
At 24, Shira switched
all of her gears and followed her heart, into pursuing a legacy as a
“choreographer for the stars” in New York City. With the many ups
and downs of the city hustle lifestyle, Shira endured many triumphs and
hardships.
Shira faced homelessness
for a brief time when she was 25. Over a period of five years, she
relocated addresses 8 times. She held many jobs for which she was
overqualified in order to maintain her dream, which ironically shifted from
“choreographers of the stars” to “star.”
It was when she realized Shira
herself was the star that doors began opening. Shira began
receiving phone calls from casting agents at MTV. She began
generating a new income for the career that came easiest to her. Shira
also found creative inspiration and a following simply by being a part of the
city which she deemed “new home.” After choosing to recuperate from
a negative situation which jeopardized her abilities to create herself and
becoming pregnant, Shira moved back to Ohio.
Shira is currently
30-years-old, and quietly working on other projects during her “off-season,”
and will return to New York within the next two years to finish cultivating her
dreams.

Sit in Dandasana (Staff Pose), then bend your knees and put your feet on the floor. Slide your left foot under the right knee to the outside of the right hip. Then cross your right leg over the left, stacking the right knee on top of the left, and bring the right foot to the outside of the left hip. Try to bring the heels equidistant from the hips: with the right leg on top you'll have to tug the right heel in closer to the left hip. Sit evenly on the sitting bones.
Inhale and stretch your right arm straight out to the right, parallel to the floor. Rotate your arm inwardly; the thumb will turn first toward the floor, then point toward the wall behind you, with the palm facing the ceiling. This movement will roll your right shoulder slightly up and forward, and round your upper back. With a full exhalation, sweep the arm behind your torso and tuck the forearm in the hollow of your lower back, parallel to your waist, with the right elbow against the right side of your torso. Roll the shoulder back and down, then work the forearm up your back until it is parallel to your spine. The back of your hand will be between your shoulder blades. See that your right elbow doesn't slip away from the right side of your torso.
Now inhale and stretch your left arm straight forward, pointing toward the opposite wall, parallel to the floor. Turn the palm up and, with another inhalation, stretch the arm straight up toward the ceiling, palm turned back. Lift actively through your left arm, then with an exhalation, bend the elbow and reach down for the right hand. If possible, hook the right and left fingers.
Stay in this pose about 1 minute. Release the arms, uncross the legs, and repeat with the arms and legs reversed for the same length of time. Remember that whichever leg is on top, the same-side arm is lower.

Why should you celebrate black history month with Conversations With The Queen? Well as you may know CWTQ values a holistic and conscious approach to life. As black people, it is imperative that we utilize any venue necessary to further gain knowledge of ourselves. So much of our culture and history has been hidden or erased. So "Conversations With The Queen" will be making a conscious effort toward bringing quality shows dedicated toward uplifting humanity, but more specifically black people at home and abroad. So tune in each week as we will explore topics that pertain to helping ourselves and our communities. And understand that black history is not limited to 28 (or 29 in a leap yr ;) days but it should be explored and understood 365 days a year! I will keep the blog updated as our guests are scheduled. Conversations With The Queen airs every Monday night at 9PM EST the call in number is 917 932 8881. You can listen to our live and archived shows on blogtalkradio.com/109-9penstation and you can also keep up with us through our new facebook fan page facebook.com/Conversationswiththequeen Yours always, Tae Queen
