Shaniqua (Shawn) Davis is a digital marketing and technology enthusiast with an eye for detail that spans beyond the norms of conventional digital relations. A Detroit native, Shaniqua learned early on to use innovative techniques to gain both experience and significant opportunities for advancement. Shaniqua relocated from Detroit to Chicago, IL where she worked in the competitive marketing industry, building contacts before deciding to leave the field and pursue entrepreneurship full time. Davis launched the job referral website Noirefy in June of 2016. She sought to connect qualified job seekers of color with top tier companies. As someone who had experienced discrimination based on her name alone, Davis wanted to implement a network to connect those individuals with jobs that promote diverse workplaces and cultures.
