Transformational speaker, licensed therapist, and emotional strategist guiding leaders and high performers to reclaim joy, alignment, and clarity in life and leadership.
Shakirah Forde is a licensed therapist, transformational speaker, and emotional strategist with over 13 years of experience helping high-achieving professionals reclaim their joy, alignment, and inner clarity. Raised in foster care after the early loss of her mother, Shakirah turned her own story of adversity into a mission of radical healing and human wholeness—not just in life, but in leadership. Today, Shakirah is known for her emotionally honest, spiritually grounded keynotes that invite audiences into deeper self-connection. Her work lives at the intersection of psychology, purpose, and modern spirituality, blending clinical expertise with intuitive insight to meet people where logic ends and truth begins. Shakirah has worked behind the scenes with founders, executives, physicians, creatives, and visionaries who appear “successful” on the outside but feel emotionally flat, anxious, or quietly unfulfilled. She helps high performers let go of societal scripts, reconnect with their values, and build lives and legacies that feel as good on the inside as they look on paper. As a speaker, Shakirah does more than inspire. She offers language to name what so many can’t. Her audiences walk away with clarity, emotional resonance, and frameworks they can actually use—especially in spaces craving mental wellness, soulful leadership, and alignment beyond the grind. Her philosophy is simple but disruptive: success without self-connection isn’t success at all. Through powerful storytelling and depth-informed strategy, she helps people return to the truth of who they are and build from there. Whether she’s speaking on stage, leading a corporate workshop, or guiding a private executive through identity realignment, Shakirah’s presence is a grounding force. Her voice carries what most people are too burned out to articulate, and her message stays with you long after the event ends.
