| ABOUT - BIO Shawna Lee Coronado is the author of the critically acclaimed book, Gardening Nude, which is a guide for living a green lifestyle. She is the CEO of MAD 4 World Enterprises, on-camera spokesperson, video producer, newspaper columnist, energetic speaker, and environmental and health correspondent with over eighteen years of experience with sales, marketing, and public relations. Building community and educating others on how to do so have become Shawna's driving passion since she experienced a dramatic life transformation. After suffering for many years with severe stress and illness which included non-stop allergies, mind-numbing migraine headaches, and year-long bronchitis bouts, Shawna took command of her lifestyle. She downsized, built her own company, and started her life over from scratch; ignoring conventional wisdom and creating her own greener way of living and conducting business which has led her to the garden as a healing source of health. Shawna speaks internationally on building community, simple living, and green lifestyle tips for the everyday person. She speaks on social media development as well as green living and in 2010 she traveled to Mexico and Ireland as well as across the United States delivering her inspiring messages. Social media is an important part of Shawna’s marketing approach. Annually her websites and YouTube channel receives hundreds of thousands of views. Currently, Shawna has followers in over 20 countries who watch her YouTube channel and read her two blogs. Her green lifestyle blog, "Gardening Nude", is on ChicagoNow.com (a division of the Chicago Tribune) - www.gardeningnude.com. Her other well-read blog "The Casual Gardener" is based on her original newspaper column, and is devoted exclusively to sustainable gardening and home garden products - thecasualgardener.blogspot.com. Shawna Coronado educates the online community on eco-travel, green-living tips, sustainable gardening, inexpensive cooking, home vegetable production, and techniques for every day homeowners to save money by being green and feed the hungry during a down- economy. Her goal with the blogs and online presence is to better the world through community involvement and simple green living. You can find Shawna staying healthy by working regularly in her garden with her children in the western suburbs of Chicago.
