Shanntell Hamilton is 32 years old and co-parents an 11-year-old. She has been pushed beyond her limits on several occasions and manages to be resilient against the odds. Shanntell is a lover of life and children, and always thinks back to a quote from Booker T. Washington that truly represents her, “I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.”
