Why Your Story Matters
Show don't tell.
Your story shows who you’ve become.
The Pardon Board won’t guess.
They won’t assume.
They’ll judge you based on what you say and how you say it.
That’s why your story matters.
It’s not just background. It’s evidence. It’s a strategy.
We help you find your voice, tell your truth, and craft a narrative they can’t ignore.
Find Your Voice
We don’t just fill out forms.
We coach you to speak with purpose.
Whether you want to manage your application yourself or need full hands-on support, we’ve got you.
Founder. Advocate. Strategist. Survivor of the system.
“This isn’t just what I do. It’s who I am.”
Shanyeill McCloud didn’t just build Clean Slate — she is Clean Slate.
This work isn’t theory for her. It’s lived experience. It’s personal.
As someone who has navigated the justice system herself, Shanyeill understands what it feels like to be judged by your past — and how hard it is to prove who you’ve become. She built Clean Slate Milwaukee from that place: not to help people ask for pity, but to help them walk in prepared, confident, and unapologetically transformed.
With over 12 years of experience in the Wisconsin pardon process, Shanyeill has helped hundreds of people turn their story into strategy. She's not a lawyer — and that's the point. She's a voice for the overlooked. A guide through the noise. And a coach who shows up with honesty, grit, and clarity.
This isn’t just a job for her. It’s her mission.
To make sure people who’ve done the work know how to speak it — and be heard.
