About - Shadeeza Buckley

Shadeeza Buckley is an online store where art and fashion collide to encourage SELF-ACCEPTANCE, PERSEVERANCE & HOPE. This business was co-founded by an extraordinary Jamaican artist whose name is…you guessed it…Shadeeza Buckley. Shadeeza, the artist, is no stranger to being told by others what she cannot do, as she has a disability known as Down Syndrome.

Shadeeza, however decided to focus on what she can do, and make the best of the talents that she has. Shadeeza has her share of roadblocks along her life…health conditions, little to no opportunities in education and employment, few friends.

What did she do? She decided to blaze her own path. She ended up with a few “best friends” & decided to go the entrepreneurial route with her artwork. Some days she would sell nothing…other days, she sold all the pieces she had with her.

Shadeeza never gave up on herself nor did she give up on people. She chose to believe that things would get better…that she would be a success…that she is a superstar (her exact words). Shadeeza also believes in seeing the good in people and loves making them smile when they seem sad. Whenever her artwork makes someone happy, it gets her so excited. Shadeeza accepted herself…she sees herself as flawed yet fabulous.

Shadeeza believes in finding a way where there was not one before…she isn’t afraid of being the first…and she isn’t afraid of asking for help from her family & friends who provide invaluable support. Shadeeza believes that once there is life, there is hope and a new day is not to be wasted on the past…it is a chance to make things better…she believes things will get better. And thus, the online store Shadeeza Buckley was born.

Shadeeza Buckley…an online store where we encourage self-acceptance, perseverance & hope. Shadeeza came, she saw and she conquered…now it’s your time!
