She is a certified speech-language pathologist and Founder and CEO of Having Our Say, LLC where her business focuses on evaluating and providing therapy to children with speech, language, and communication disorders. She also produces a monthly blog for parents and caregivers providing tips and resources to help enhance language development in children. Shontaye writes under the pen name, Taye Jones.

Through her efforts, she has supported Smiles for Speech with projects in Ghana and Kenya, Africa. Her commitment to promoting language development through literacy and increasing diversity in children's literature has now led to the completion of her first literary work- "Liam's First Cut."

Liam takes us on a journey towards a big rite of passage in every boy's life, but Taye gives us a glimpse at how Liam's preparation for visiting the barbershop may differ from most. Taye lives in NJ with her family. When she's not writing, she enjoys eating pizza, running, listening to music, and spending time at the beach.
