🎭 Meet Shyra Galloway, Queen 🎭
Krewe of Prometheus 2026 Royal Court, Stone County Mardi Gras Ball
Shyra, a lifelong resident of Stone County, is the proud mother of Kyla Galloway and Prince Williams and the daughter of Gwen and Len Galloway. Her bonus mom is Cassandra Galloway.
Every day, she honors the memory of her late brother, Officer Kenya D. Galloway.
Shyra, a broker and owner of EXIT By Faith Realty 833.323.2484, has been a licensed realtor for more than five years. She is also a self-proclaimed cigar aficionada. Her most memorable cigar was a hand-rolled Cohiba enjoyed on a trip to Havana, Cuba, with her late brother in 2017.
When asked what she loves most about living in Stone County, she says, “I love having a front row seat to all the growth and changes that have taken place over the decades. Being able to play even a small role in some of those positive changes has been truly rewarding. This past year, I’ve especially enjoyed standing in my office windows and watching the new high school being built — a community dream coming true for our youth and a move toward even more economic growth, development and more people wanting to call Stone County home.”
When asked what excites her most about the Stone County Community Fund and the opportunities it provides, she says, “For years, neighboring communities have maintained initiatives such as the Stone County Community Fund, and having worked in many of those communities, I am thrilled to see it come to fruition in Stone County. Witnessing the Gulf Coast Community Foundation give back to the people of Stone County this past year has been a true blessing. I’m beyond proud of the work of the SCCF Committee members and grateful for all that they continue to do.”
As for the Mardi Gras Ball this Saturday night, Shyra says she’s “looking forward to doing exactly what I did last year… letting the good times roll!”
Congratulations, Shyra!
