Keynote Speaker

Reinvention Strategist and Founder of SheProfits

Marshawn Evans Daniels is a Reinvention Strategist, Influence Expert, and Best-Selling Author. A master in teaching the art of manifestation, this former Sports Attorney, Miss America Finalist, and Donald Trump Apprentice, left her full-time job as a lawyer and turned her passion for people into a million-dollar enterprise just a few years ago. She helps women to Believe Bigger, Live Bigger, and Profit Bigger so that they can ultimately Give Bigger. Featured regularly on CNN, Fox Business, and ESPN, her client roster includes HP, Home Depot, Ernst & Young, Delta, Tiffany & Co., Nike, and Rolls Royce. Marshawn`s first best-selling book, SKIRTS in the Boardroom, is published by Wiley, the largest business book publisher in the world. It was the first time Wiley published a business book with an African American female under the age of thirty! Her new book, Believe Bigger, with Simon & Shuster teaches the 5 Keys to SHIFTING into Your Life Purpose. Marshawn`s philosophy is  if you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space.
