Michelle Shirley, CEO and Chief Heart Officer of Be Strong International, was recently featured in VoyageMIA Magazine, where she shared her personal journey, professional path, and the experiences that shaped her passion for relationship education and emotional wellness.
In the interview, Michelle reflects on growing up in Miami as the daughter of Jamaican immigrant parents and how witnessing domestic violence in her childhood influenced her life’s mission. Rather than allowing adversity to define her, she transformed those early challenges into purpose, dedicating her career to helping individuals, couples, and families build healthier, stronger relationships.
Michelle also opens up about the realities of nonprofit leadership, including navigating uncertainty, advocating for the organization’s mission, and making personal sacrifices to support her team. Her story highlights resilience, courage, and a deep commitment to creating meaningful, lasting impact in the community.
For Michelle, success is measured not by recognition but by transformation, the quiet yet powerful moments when individuals gain clarity, families reconnect, and people discover new ways to communicate and grow.
