Shae attended Beggs Public School until the 4th grade and then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where she began in Tulsa Public School System and graduated in 1989 from Edison Preparatory High School.

Shae accepted Christ at an early age where she attended First Baptist Church South and was baptized under the late Rev. Lynch. She later moved her membership to Snowden Chapel under Tom Asberry Jr., then to Agape Bible fellowship under the leader of Pastor Terry Buxton until she was unable to attend.
