About Sharokina

Founder.
Strategist.
Truth-teller.

I built Citygirl Events into a nationally recognized luxury event brand — featured in the New York Times, People, Elle Decor, and Lifetime TV — from nothing but a vision and relentless work ethic. That journey taught me everything about what it actually takes to build a business that scales.

Now I help entrepreneurs do the same. Whether you're just getting started or ready to break through your next ceiling, I bring the strategy, the tools, and the real talk to get you there.
