Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Shanise Pimentel. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Shanise, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The most meaingful project I have worked on are cakes made fro kids that are sick or that are siblings of kids that have a terminal sickness. The feeling of seen kids smile and so happy when they see their cakes it makes me feel like I accomplished the gift that God has gave me to be able to make others happy and feel special.
There is an entity that is dedicated to search for bakers to give a special day to the kids and families that are not having the best time due to the circunstances. It makes me feel accomplished and it makes my heart full.
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can provide some insight – you never know who might benefit from the enlightenment.
When you are a Creative is so hard sometimes to shut your ideas down and stop thinking about what you want to make next. Is hard to unplug and some people tend to think that you are acting different because there is something wrong and what is really happening is that you might be there but your brain is creating and trying to make space for the next thing you want to do.
Is hard but it is possible to achieve anything you desire the key is to be persistent and keep working one step at a time.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
One thing I have being learning to unlearn is that It is ok to want to be an entrepreneur and go after your dreams. That you dont have to always work for someone else you can do it for you and show others that is possible. Back in the day the goal that was always brought up was you have to work for the best corporate out there beacue that is what is goign to make you be something. When in reality you have to work in what you love and what drives your passion.
This is my Passion I can describe what I feel when a customer gets happy because of what they recieve. I have made Wedding cakes, kids cakes, get well cakes and believe me the smile and sometimes the tears of each customer make this so worthed I would never change it for something else.
