Meet Our Speakers

Shawnti “Journal Bae” Refuge

My name is Shawnti Refuge. I'm the CEO of Shawnti Refuge Journals. I was born and raised in Beaumont, Texas. I'm a wife mother of three. I started Shawnti Refuge Journals in 2021, two years after I experienced a Mental BREAKTHROUGH (as opposed to breakdown).

After being put on medication, I decided that wasn't what I wanted for my life, through therapy, I was able to dig deeper and get to the root of my issues and learn how to heal from them.

One of the coping skills that I learned was guided journaling. Through Guided Journaling, I was able to acknowledge, face, and heal from many issues that I didn't know I even had!

Through my journey, I felt that I needed to help others like myself, who don't want medication to numb them and instead want to HEAL! I developed a series of guided journals for your emotional & mental wellness.

Since starting Shawnti Refuge Journals, I am now a Certified Lifestyle Coach, specializing in Mental Health Coaching and Advocacy. I am a support group facilitator, journaling instructor, and I host wellness workshops.

Welcome to the start of your healing journey with Shawnti Refuge Journals!

Carla Iris, The Ubuntu CEO

Before starting Iris Designs, Carla built a career in marketing and project management. Though she originally started her marketing career working in a rehabilitation clinic, she had cultivated a career in project management and supporting nonprofits in growth campaigns. She founded Iris Designs in May 2020 (during the pandemic) after her position was cut.

Carla has supported well over 200+ small businesses throughout the United States, Africa, Brazil, and Europe. Since its formation, Iris Designs has become a designated WIX and GoDaddy Partner and has valuable business relationships and partnerships with organizations across the country. Through her business, Carla has helped countless organizations grow and navigate the digital space; educating team members on website management and marketing strategy.

Carla is a creative geek with a passion for supporting people and businesses looking to grow, but most importantly, she is devoted to supporting professionals within the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ and ally communities because their stories, much like hers, are innately grounded with the desires to feel safe, heard, and trusted in the business relationships she builds.

With over 11+ years of professional marketing experience, Carla's strengths are in project management, content creation, web design, community outreach and education, as well as SEO and keyword research. Carla has been featured on several publications and articles, including Canvas Rebel, Five After Five, Midwest Mujeres, Black Owned Association, The Voyage Austin, Black Therapist Network, BiZ TV, and the Innovation Black Chamber of Commerce.

About Your Event Host

Neshama Alheem, The Self-Love Minister

You think that putting everyone first–clients, family, friends–is going to help you be seen as helpful, supportive, or nice.

Yet, all you feel is resentment and burnout!

I understand exactly how that feels. I was once there–begrudgingly doing client work that I seriously undercharging for, committing to things I didn’t really have time for, always going the extra mile for EVERYONE.

I felt depleted — and my business and relationships were affected BIG time.

When I started going within and focusing on healing my relationship with self, everything around me started to change for the better. It’s why I know I can help you figure things out for yourself as well.

What you want is serious change that actually STICKS. And you want REAL, implementable steps to take that lead to actual RESULTS.

Let me show you how learning to choose yourself and to make sound decisions from a place of self-love can propel you to greater heights in your business and in your life overall. I’ve been helping clients achieve amazing results by offering guidance and strategies they can use in their personal lives, businesses, and spirituality for over 2 decades.

Together, let’s create and manifest the shit you really want to see in your life!
