I also remember her first year at the University of Southern Mississippi but she made it in spite of those who tried to derail her. She is a great friend and sings as great as she does because it comes from her very soul! High Yella encapsulates her college experience but she left USM as an "Outstanding Freshman Woman". She is so fresh and real that at Biloxi High she was called "Dear Abbey" because she was always helping friends out. She is highly respected in Mississippi and changed a lot of people while a still a girl growing up. Everyone here still follows her career and can't wait for the music industry's "great awakening" when they finally propel Shayna into the national spotlight...she is so deserving!

I met her and out of all the people who preformed, she was one of the most down to earth, laid-back person in the biz that I have met. After the show we talked for a few mins about all sorts of stuff, and she wasnt condesending at all!! She made me feel special and seemed to really like me and my school. She's beautiful and its really empowering for me to see women like me-women of color doing their Thang and using their talent for good and "making it" in showbiz. Becuause being a fellow preformer, and African-American, I know you have to work twice as hard and be twice as good to be noticed, and Shanya has done that-- twice as well! -Peace&love, SV I was lucky enough to have Shanya Steele preform at my school, and she is AMAZING!!!
