In this episode of The Style Podcast, we sit down with Shikita Hill, founder of EmpowerU 1st, to hear the remarkable story behind her journey from corrections officer to community leader.

After spending more than 20 years working in corrections, Shikita gained firsthand experience helping people navigate some of the most difficult chapters of their lives. Those experiences ultimately inspired a new mission — empowering others through education, mentorship and personal development.

Shikita shares how her career in corrections shaped her perspective, the lessons she learned along the way, and what motivated her to launch EmpowerU 1st.
