One of her main dreams is to style the former first lady Michelle Obama.
Despite keeping up with her brand and clothing business, McShaw and Sharpton also enjoy going out for events and social gatherings.
It was during their red carpet session at the New York County Democratic Committee Award Ceremony in 2013 that she revealed she was Sharpton’s girlfriend.
Although it was rumored that they had started dating way before 2013, the pair have kept their mouths shut when it came to their relationship and personal life.
Aside from being in a relationship with Sharpton, McShaw also has a cordial relationship with Sharpton’s former partner, Kathy Lee Jordan and during his daughter’s wedding, she was in attendance. She also has a daughter but keeps her away from the public eye.
Another interesting fact about McShaw is that one of her main dreams is to style the former first lady Michelle Obama. When asked if she would style Melania Trump, McShaw was diplomatic and said her clothes were for everybody.
McShaw has the unfailing support of her boyfriend Sharpton and expressed that he was involved in creating the clothes as his apartment was used as her meeting and production spot.
In all, with her fashion brand and his activism, McShaw and Sharpton seem to know what works for them as they continually bask in their love for one another.
