Shan Boodram was born to Caribbean parents and raised in Toronto, Ontario.[13][14][1] She describes displaying interests in physical intimacy from a young age, and that the reaction of the adults around her to this interest influenced her career path. [13][14]
In 2012, she started the YouTube channel Shan BOODY, which has had over 71 milllion views as of 2021.[18]
In 2017 she founded the content creation studio Shared Entertainment with her husband Jared Brady.[19] The company has since worked on content for a variety of partners, including the dating app Bumble.[19][20][21][22][23]
Boodram's 2019 book The Game of Desire: 5 Surprising Secrets to Dating with Dominance and Getting What You Want outlines a five-step strategy for romantic success.
