Philadelphia Chapter Member Heads to Goldman Sachs: Meet the Speaker Shakira Brown

MPI Philadelphia Chapter member Shakira M. Brown, Founder & CEO of SMB Strategic Media & Workforce Training, has been invited to join the Fall 2026 Cohort of the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business program. The prestigious entrepreneurship program supports Black women founders scaling sustainable businesses nationwide. She is looking forward to joining women founders from around the nation in NYC for in-person activities at Goldman Sachs offices and 12 weeks of live virtual professional development training led by New York University Stern School of Business faculty. 

For event planners, Shakira is a familiar name and a rising one. As a national keynote speaker and Human-AI collaboration expert, she helps audiences navigate the leadership and communication skills companies need most as AI reshapes the workplace, exactly the kind of forward-looking content that keeps attendees talking long after the event ends. During April 2026, Shakira served as the keynote speaker during MPI Philadelphia Chapter’s Visionary Leaders Retreat at Kalahari Resort in Pocono Manor presenting on A.I. productivity strategies for event planners.
