CONNECT CoLab LLC

CONNECT co-founders', Sharqi David and Keisha Browne, [sister]ship has been colored with countless shared experiences and exciting adventures. Over the past 18 years, they have known each other as classmates, colleagues, teammates, travel buddies, and of course, friends. Their love of learning with and from amazing people, passion for culture and the arts, and experience hosting events that uplift and inspire brought them together to create CONNECT. The CONNECT CoLab LLC is a networking and consulting group focused on creating strong, vibrant communities and curating genuine, meaningful connections that drive and sustain business-building activity. This dynamic duo takes their social and professional lives very seriously, as both have been critical to their sanity and success. Their work connects them to corporations (like Fidelity Investments and Wayfair), community-based programs (at Howard University and Johns Hopkins University), ventured-backed startups (like Tracflo and Birthright AFRICA), art organizations (like Park Avenue Armory and Soka Tribe), institutions (like Georgetown University, Harvard University, MIT, and Hunter College), and an extensive portfolio of courses and workshops they have designed and facilitated. So, when these two join forces for people-centered networking over their signature drinks and tasty, tapas-style treats, you can always expect great company, extraordinary connections, and an unforgettable time. So, mark your calendars, and join us for our exclusive, but inclusive events!
