🎥 The Jennifer Hudson Show (National TV Feature, 2025)
In December 2025, Shondra appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to share her powerful story — as the founder of PWRHAUS ELITE CHEER, the first free tuition all-star cheer program in Forney, TX.
What started as a family conversation with her daughters transformed into a movement. With no celebrity backing, Shondra launched PWRHAUS in 2025 as a bold solution for girls who deserved to feel seen, celebrated, and unstoppable — without financial barriers.
Her appearance on national TV was a full-circle moment — a public celebration of faith, motherhood, and doing the work even when nobody claps.
“I created what I needed but didn’t see — and made it free, so no girl ever feels like she has to earn her worth.”
— Shondra Gilstrap, The Jennifer Hudson Show
