🇺🇸 Today, we remember.

September 11th is a day that will forever hold a place in our nation’s history and in the hearts of so many families.

We remember the lives that were lost.
We honor the first responders who ran toward danger when others were trying to escape.
We recognize the families who woke up that morning never knowing their lives were about to change forever.

So many people went to work, boarded a plane, kissed their loved ones goodbye, or simply started what they thought would be an ordinary day—and never made it home.

Today is a reminder to cherish the people we love, appreciate the moments we sometimes take for granted, and remember those whose lives were forever changed on September 11, 2001.

May we never forget the lives lost, the heroes who served, and the families who continue to carry their memories. 🇺🇸

We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, honor the heroes who showed extraordinary courage, and hold in our hearts the families forever changed by that day.

May we always remember the strength, unity, and compassion that brought our nation together.

Never forgotten. Always in our hearts. ❤️🤍💙

💰 Need a Roth IRA? Let’s talk.

A Roth IRA can be a powerful tool for building wealth because you contribute money you’ve already paid taxes on, allowing qualified withdrawals in retirement to be tax-free.

But here’s the important part: simply opening an account isn’t the strategy. What you invest in inside the account matters too.

I can help you:
✨ Determine whether a Roth IRA fits your financial goals
✨ Understand your investment options
✨ Build a strategy based on your timeline and risk tolerance
✨ Create a more tax-diversified retirement plan
✨ Look at the bigger picture—not just one account

Whether you’re just getting started or already have retirement accounts and want to make sure you’re on the right track, we can sit down and review your options.

You work hard for your money. Let’s make sure your money has a plan too.

Allow me to reintroduce myself. 🤍

I’m Shannon Lawal, and my work goes far beyond simply helping people purchase life insurance.

I’m building a financial practice centered around one goal: helping individuals, families, and business owners build wealth while protecting everything they’re working so hard to create.

As a licensed financial professional, I’m able to help my clients look at the bigger financial picture from life insurance and income protection to retirement planning, investment options, wealth accumulation, and legacy strategies.

Building wealth is important, but protecting that wealth and creating a strong financial foundation for the people coming behind you is even more important.

I want my clients to be able to say:

✨ I’m building for today.
✨ I’m preparing for tomorrow.
✨ And I’m leaving something meaningful behind.

Whether you’re just beginning your financial journey, growing your assets, preparing for retirement, building a business, or thinking about the legacy you want to leave your family, you deserve a strategy designed around YOUR goals.

Protect. Grow. Leave a Legacy. 💙💙💙

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month 💕

Life insurance isn’t just about what happens when you’re gone. It’s about protecting the people you love, the income your household depends on, the assets you’ve worked hard to build, and the legacy you want to leave behind.

We insure our homes. We insure our cars. We insure our phones. But sometimes we forget to protect the one thing that makes everything else possible, and that’s our lives and our ability to provide.

This month, I encourage you to ask yourself:

✨ If something happened to me, would my family be financially okay?
✨ Would they be able to stay in their home?
✨ Could my children continue toward the future I envisioned for them?
✨ Am I simply leaving memories—or am I also leaving a financial legacy?

Life insurance is more than a policy. It’s a promise to the people you love that their future still matters, even when you’re no longer there to provide for it.

September is a great time to review what you already have, understand what it actually covers, and determine whether there are any gaps. Employer policies aren’t always permanent, and many people are “under” insured.

Connect with me and we can take a look!

Today, I had the opportunity to attend our Leaders Lunch for this month’s top performers, alongside fellow top performers Georgeann, Wilfredo, and Raleigh, with our Managing Partner, Luke Ferradj New York Life Orlando General Office Agents!!!

And of course, there couldn’t have been a more fitting place to get dedicated time with Luke than Luke’s very own kitchen. 😂 Coincidentally, the restaurant was called Luke's Kitchen and Bar!

Beyond celebrating performance, what made this lunch special was the conversation. Having a seat at the table with successful professionals, exchanging ideas, asking questions, and discussing strategies for building a thriving financial practice was invaluable.

Several of the top performers around me have also achieved Executive Council status, and that was incredibly motivating. Being this early in my career and already earning a seat at this table gives me a glimpse of what is possible. My next goal is clear: keep working, keep learning, keep growing, and put myself in position to achieve council status during the next qualifying season.

One thing I’m especially proud of is the foundation I’ve built for my practice. In addition to my Life & Health and Variable Annuity license, earning my securities licenses have expanded the ways I can serve my clients and allowed me to offer a broader range of investment products. With insurance licensing across Florida, Delaware, and Texas, I’m continuing to expand my practice to be able to help more individuals, families, and business owners protect what they’ve built and work toward their financial goals.

I’m learning very quickly that success in this business isn’t accidental. It comes from consistency, relationships, knowledge, discipline, and being willing to do the work!

I’m proud of this early milestone, but even more excited about where I’m headed.

Next stop: Executive Council. 💪🏾
The sky is the limit. 🚀

A Trust Is More Than a Legal Document, It’s Instructions for Your Legacy.

You worked hard to build it. Now make sure your assets go where YOU want them to go.

A properly structured trust can help you:

* Direct who receives your assets and when
* Provide instructions for how money should be used
* Help your family avoid probate for assets properly placed in the trust
* Create a plan for children, grandchildren, and future generations
* Provide greater control, privacy, and continuity for your legacy

Generational wealth isn’t just about leaving money, it’s about leaving direction with it.

I’m not a trust attorney, but estate planning is an important part of the bigger financial picture. I have a great trust attorney in my network that I can refer you to if you’re ready to start the conversation.

What an incredible day of giving back to our community! ❤️🎒

Our Bookbag Drive was a huge success, and seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces as they picked out their cool new bookbags for the upcoming school year was truly priceless. Every smile was a reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a big impact.

But we didn’t stop there.

Parents also had the opportunity to receive a complimentary Child ID Kit, complete with their child’s fingerprints and important identifying information to keep at home. While we all hope it’s something they’ll never need, it’s an extra layer of protection that can make all the difference in an emergency. Providing families with both confidence for the school year and peace of mind is what this event was all about.

A huge thank you to Henry’s Depot, Vinny Bea’s, and O-Town Provisions for partnering with us to make this event possible. It takes a village, and I couldn’t be more grateful to work alongside organizations that are equally committed to serving our community.

As a New York Life Orlando General Office Agent, my passion is helping families protect what matters most. Sometimes that means creating a financial plan for the future, and other times it means showing up for our community in meaningful ways like this. Protection comes in many forms, and this weekend we were honored to provide both.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported this event. Because of you, children left with confidence, parents left with peace of mind, and our community left a little stronger than before.

This is what giving back looks like. 💙

Have you ever thought about how your family will cover the bills without your income? I want to be able to show up with a check for your family, so that’s one less thing they have to worry about during that time. 🙏

Covering the funeral is only half the battle. The bigger problem after that is covering the monthly expenses left behind, keeping the same lifestyle they had with you. How will the biggest expense of all, the mortgage/rent, get covered? Will they be able to remain in the home or will they be forced to move?

Your death benefit isn’t supposed to be designed to just cover the funeral, but it should also cover the loss of your income, and to cover the duration of fixed expenses while you have them (mortgage, car loans, daycare, college, etc.) If you don’t have enough death benefit, then you are underinsured.

Schedule a free consultation with me, and we can go over a financial plan to help protect your family if you don’t come home one day!
