Chantell Zenon
Hello! I’m Chantell Zenon, a passionate creator from Lafayette, Louisiana. As a devoted wife and mother of three, I founded IgniteU, a company focused on publishing inspiring books, crafting engaging dance choreography, guest speaking, and podcasting. My children's books, *It’s Just Hair* and *It’s Just Shoes*, carry powerful messages aimed at uplifting and motivating readers of all ages.
​
I’m also thrilled to share that I’ve become a TikTok sensation with my viral dance "Mrall," which has taken the world by storm. Now, I’m excited to announce a major opportunity to create a dance for Rob49 through Interscope Records. I’m incredibly proud of these achievements and eager to continue inspiring and empowering others through my work.

My Story
As a young girl, I often felt a deep desire to be seen, heard, and understood. I soon realized that I was the only person responsible for my own happiness. I used to be very hard on myself, constantly seeking approval from others. It wasn't until I took a break from social media—following God's guidance—that I began to fall in love with who I truly am.
During quiet nights, after the kids were asleep, I started writing as a form of escape. One night, I showed my husband a story I wrote about hair, and he encouraged me to turn it into a book. That's how "It's Just Hair" was born. As a child, I struggled to embrace my hair, and I never wanted my daughter to go through the same experience. So, I created something to encourage her and other young girls to love and accept themselves.
