the Criminal Actions of Chandra Shumwa

What troubles me most is that an individual whom I once helped selflessly has turned against me in the most malicious and criminal ways imaginable. This person—a fraud and impostor—has not only impersonated me, but has also defamed my name, slandered my character, and disrespected my children, despite the fact that I had done nothing but extend compassion and support to her.

When she was mocked publicly while pursuing her aspirations as an artist, I offered her my personal fashion designs so she could present herself with confidence. When she was homeless, I opened my home to her—welcoming her to live with me and my children, even as I struggled to provide for my family, without ever asking anything in return.

Rather than show gratitude, she fabricated false narratives, portraying herself as my savior while casting me in a false and degrading light. She spread malicious lies about my mental health in an effort to devalue and control me. Meanwhile, she presents herself online as virtuous and innocent, though her actions are those of a manipulative narcissist.

To further her campaign of harm, she actively reached out to individuals within my personal and professional circles—including those with whom she believed I had romantic or emotional ties. In several cases, she engaged in sexual relations with them and spread calculated falsehoods about me in an attempt to turn them against me, all to undermine my relationships, reputation, and peace of mind.

Chandra Shumwa was Jan 2024 seen publicly wearing a garment unlawfully taken from designer Abia Blachaje, originally created for the BET Awards Fashion Show.

Additionally, she collaborated with individuals named Paula Ansara and Kathleen Young to create fraudulent online dating profiles using my name, photos, and personal identity. These profiles were used to catfish unsuspecting individuals and commit additional criminal acts in my name. These impersonations were not only emotionally damaging, but also constitute severe violations of privacy, consent, and federal law.

These offenses are not hearsay; they are factual and documented. This individual has committed serious crimes including:

• What began as jealousy evolved into an obsessive and targeted campaign to dismantle my life, particularly when I distanced myself from her after witnessing racist behavior and emotional manipulation. She sought to degrade me mentally and emotionally in order to maintain a sense of superiority.

Her campaign has not been solitary. She has coordinated with a known hacker to further harass and surveil me—continuing to send harassing messages, placing repeated calls, and manipulating my technology for her own amusement.

Despite her public image of innocence, her behavior speaks volumes. It is deeply disturbing that someone can commit such heinous acts—including sex trafficking, identity theft, slander, cyberstalking, and potentially attempted murder—and still walk free, without accountability or justice.

I refuse to remain silent. I appeal to all who value truth, dignity, and moral integrity to take a stand against this abuse. My voice will not be silenced, and I will not rest until justice is served—for myself, and especially for my child whose safety was deliberately endangered.
