Everyone talks about promoting brands… but what does it look like to build your own? In Episode 3 of PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT Stroll + Speak, Aeshia DeVore Branch walks and talks with Atlanta-based entrepreneur Shanelle Clark about what it really takes to step out of the background and create something that’s yours.

In this episode of PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT Stroll + Speak, The founder of Pristein Protein, Shanelle represents a new wave of women in wellness. Not just showing up, but building. Not just influencing, but owning.
What unfolds in this conversation isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a grounded look at how her background in dance and fitness shaped the discipline she now applies to business, motherhood, and daily life.
Because there’s a difference between promoting a brand and creating one.
And Shanelle’s journey is a reflection of what happens when you trust yourself enough to take that leap.
In this episode, they get into:
- Why she decided to create Pristein Protein instead of promoting other brands
- The process of turning an idea into a real product
- What discipline looks like in her daily life
- How she balances motherhood, business, and wellness
- Her approach to nutrition, self-care, and staying consistent
- What PRETTY GIRLS SWEAT means to her
There’s clarity. There’s intention. And there are moments that will make you think differently about what you’re capable of.
Because sometimes the next step isn’t more preparation.
It’s action.
If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting for the “right time,” or questioning whether you’re ready, this episode is your reminder to start where you are.
To trust yourself. To stay consistent. And to build something that’s yours.
