With over 25 years of experience in building and managing national businesses, Sharina has become known not only as a leader but as a visionary who transforms challenges into solutions.
She is the founder and inventor of Utopia Plastix, a revolutionary plant-based alternative to petroleum plastics. Her commitment to sustainable development also led to the creation of the Utopia Model, a business ecosystem designed to integrate circular economic practices with social responsibility. Recognized globally for her strategic thinking and inventive approach, Sharina is known for igniting innovation, promoting collaboration, and inspiring purposeful leadership.
Sharina’s educational journey includes studies at the University of Oklahoma and Cambridge Judge Business School. She holds multiple certifications in sustainability and circular economy strategies and owns internationally registered patents and trademarks.
In 2023, Sharina was honored on the Nasdaq Billboard in Times Square as Inventor of the Year, a testament to her groundbreaking work and global influence. As a TEDx and international keynote speaker, she continues to share her knowledge and empower others through powerful storytelling and practical guidance.
Growing up in the American South, Sharina understood the weight of being an African American woman before she was ever seen as a businesswoman. That experience shaped her worldview and fuels her mission to elevate minority businesses and support underserved communities. Her drive is further amplified by the voices of minority farmers and entrepreneurs impacted by land mismanagement and economic barriers.
Utopia Plastix, developed by Sharina and her expert team, represents the future of sustainable manufacturing. Made from USDA-approved crops that absorb carbon more effectively than trees, these materials restore the soil and provide a new source of income for farmers. Utopia Plastix is not just an eco-friendly alternative—it’s a tool for environmental justice, brand integrity, and inclusive innovation.
Sharina’s relentless spirit, fueled by a childhood dream of a better world, has positioned her as a leader on a global mission: to replace harmful materials, uplift disadvantaged communities, and bring the world one step closer to “Utopia.”
