Pushing Boundaries: The Fearlessness of Neshanta Davis
CEO of DOPE WITHOUT LABELS, Neshanta Davis is doing her best to provide women in all “spaces” with the tools to be “DOPE”. After a seasoned military career, Neshanta stepped out on faith and decided to dive into the world of fashion. Using best practices, she learned from her military training to fuel her transition to entrepreneurship, Neshanta quickly hit her breakeven mark and exceeded her corporate salary in gross revenue.

Davis’s advocacy work and her ability to showcase her unique aesthetic with pride inspire individuals to embrace their own “uniqueness” and challenge societal beauty standards.
