"Shemayah Clemons—also commonly known to her community as "Ancient Artery"—did not start out as the plant-based woman most people admire her to be. She definitely didn't always live the holistic lifestyle she advocates for today. She loved her chicken strips, strawberry milkshakes, and she absolutely never would've thought she would give up the comforting foods and habits she's abandoned to be where she is presently. Yet, after undergoing one too many traumatic health experiences in the hospital, she began to view her declining health as a challenge to invest in her healing and lead by example for the community. Now, she stands as a holistic wellness consultant, and CEO of an upcoming business that reminds people of the importance of their Own Self Care LLC.
