Shakira Rouse is the creator and founder of Special Compass, keynote speaker, facilitator and yoga instructor. She has an incredible passion at connecting people to understand that learning disabilities shouldn't deter one from accomplishing their goals. As an adult with a learning disability, Shakira regularly experiences emotional frustration and stress but, at twenty-five, this ambitious young woman decided to turn her set back into a comeback to help other students with learning disabilities. Recognizing there was a gap in how students with learning disabilities were being supported, in 2015 Special Compass was created. Special Compass is an organization dedicated at helping students with learning disabilities achieve success in and outside the classroom. Merging her personal experience and education, Shakira Rouse creates and facilitates workshops and programs for students, parents and educators. Speaking and presenting at events such as the Ontario National Alliance of Black Students Educators annual conference, the Learning Disability Association of Canada Speak Up 4 Ability conference and presenting at the National Alliance of Black Student Educators 2019 annual conference in Dallas, Texas. She has been interviewed in various media outlets within North America. In 2018, she was the recipient of the Black Female Role Model award, has been interviewed in nationally and internationally outlets, sharing her story of how she overcame challenges with her learning disability in her education. Her work extends beyond the classroom and helping people to love their special gifts, talents and most importantly themselves. For the past three years she has been working and giving back to her community as a career mentor at York University. Juggling multiple commitments, Shakira found herself consistently burning the candle from both ends. Discovered yoga to help bring harmony to her mind, body and soul. Immediately yoga became a part of her routine, she completed her teacher training in 2020. Calling her practice Harmony & Flow she realized this was another way to bring change and help others. Although, Shakira enjoyed yoga she did not always feel connected to the community and found barriers to developing her own practice. Becoming a yoga teacher permitted her to remove these barriers and bring wellness to marginalized groups in the community. Some people break glass ceilings, Shakira Rous is kicking downs barriers. No one should be limited or feel discourage from reaching their full potential because of a difference. Everyone is created differently, and is beautiful in their own way. This is why her mission is to “Navigate You To Success.”

Her high sensitivity has allowed her, since childhood, to have contact with diverse energies and quantum healing. She studied at the University of Constance and at the UNED in Madrid. During her studies, she devoted herself to researching different power structures and neurolinguistic programming, among other things. She has taught at various universities and has lectured internationally at universities such as Salamanca, Padua and Oxford.

January 27th 2019 my life changed forever. I was 18 at the time a senior in highschool and was your average teenager nothing out of the ordinary. I had lived a fairly i guess you could say normal life until that day. I Had Gone skiing with my schools ski club. I would attempt a ski jump that day for the first and last time. I had broken my L-1 vertebrae and was paralyzed from the waist down. I had emergency surgery and was told I would most likely never walk again. however I never gave up and I have since recovered to the point of walking with only small AFO Braces or nothing at all, God saved me and gave me a second chance I have learned so much and grown so much from this experience and continue to work to improve till this day.

When I think about the journey that has brought me to where I am today, it's hard to believe how far I've come. It's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, of pain and triumph, loss and gain. But through it all, I've held on tight to one thing: my determination to never give up. My story is one of inspiration and aspiration, of how every moment in life can shape us and lead us to our destiny. In 2018, I was diagnosed with an extremely rare and potentially fatal arterial disease, just one week after running a half marathon. As a multi-marathoner, running was a regular occurrence for me. I was running 70 - 80 miles a week and in the best shape of my life. So how could this be happening? How could a 43-year-old, fit, athletic, vegetarian, nonsmoker, healthy woman be diagnosed with a disease that less than 2% of the population has? It didn’t make sense. I had fibromuscular dysplasia or FMD. Nope NOT fibromyalgia, which everyone thinks I have. FMD is MUCH scarier. FMD makes all of my arteries weak, and changes the shape of some of them. I was told I’m now at high risk for stroke, heart attack, TIA, aneurysms, dissections, etc. The list of issues you can have with FMD is long, the list of things to avoid is even longer. For example, I was told running marathons was completely out of the picture. For someone who had 5 marathons on the docket, qualified and ran Boston and had plans to do so again, hearing this news was like a dagger in the heart. But, this was just the beginning. Suddenly, I was facing a life of chronic pain and medication, with 6 specialists, 7 daily meds and the fear my time here with family could be limited. To make matters worse, my husband who is an Active Duty Army pilot, was soon deployed to the Middle East, leaving me to raise our two children on my own. Within months, I faced even more challenges, as a result, including finding out I did indeed have two brain aneurysms, and I lost my very lucrative, stable corporate job. In addition, about 90% of my “friends” left. I learned this is VERY common when someone is diagnosed with a chronic condition. I was alone, scared, and struggling to find my way. But then, something shifted. I hit rock bottom. I began to drink. A LOT. ALL DAY. I got into a very deep, dark place, one that I open up about in my speech. However, in that darkness, I found a glimmer of hope. After almost losing my life to two bouts of sepsis, I realized I still had a lot to live for. I had ALWAYS been a fighter and I was NOT going to stop now. I became spiritual and eventually started my own award-winning marketing agency. I refused to let my disease define me or hold me back. I am now not only a successful entrepreneur, but I am a world traveler and a huge rare disease advocate. I became a professional speaker, and tell my story as much as possible to not only raise awareness but to also offer hope to others who may need it. Today, I stand before you as proof that determination and aspiration can overcome anything.
