Shields was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, and in May 2012, she was a junior in high school there. Her father, Bo Shields, who had boxed in underground leagues, had introduced her to the sport. Bo had been incarcerated since Shields was two years old and had been released when she was nine. Bo, however, believed that boxing was a men’s sport and delayed letting Shields participate in it until she was eleven. It was at that time that she started boxing at Berston Field House in Flint where she met her coach and trainer, Jason Crutchfield. Shields credits her grandmother with inspiring her to not accept limitations based on her gender.
