SHEKINAH FASHAW

Shekinah is a talented speaker. She is the winner of a competitive 3-MinuteThesis competition, has served as a keynote speaker and panelist at multiple national conferences, and has spoken internationally. When not caught up in the world of academia, Shekinah is an author, youth pastor, empowerment conference host, and entrepreneur, and these are the things she is most proud of. Shekinah strongly believes that there is power within each and every one of us to do “exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can imagine.” And since she believes it, she lives by it and wants others to do the same. Her deepest desire in life is to see people live out their purpose. Her goal is to make creators out of the visionaries, by helping visionaries make their vision into a creation beyond their own imagination.
