St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was the first charity I supported, and its mission continues to inspire me.Â
The Humane Rescue Alliance became the second charity I supported, inspired by the adoption of my beloved cat, Sesshoumaru Fred.Â
From becoming an ordained minister to volunteering for civil, housing, and equal rights, and promoting emergency preparedness, Lady Rev. Dr. Shonta’ High has proven there’s nothing she cannot achieve. With an impressive list of certifications, credentials, and accreditations, she’s a powerhouse through and through. In 2025, she was bestowed the title “Lady” after volunteering to donate to the restoration of Dunans Castle in Scotland. She also became “Lady of Kerry” in Ireland after being named as a “Tirana.” Alongside her many achievements, Lady High can now proudly add philanthropy to her list. A truly genuine lady in every respect.
