She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Administration of Justice from Howard University; a Professional Studies Certificate in Communication from New York University; and a Master of Social Work Degree from Adelphi University. As a social justice advocate, Shameka understands the importance of educational and social programs, and why people need to be connected to them.
