Meet Deena Shakir

Join Us for This Smart, Snowy Story!

Venture Capitalist DEENA SHAKIR is here to share her bright new picture book, Leena Mo, CEO! In this ambitious tale, a young girl uses her brains to save her snow day, with a little help from the robot she created! DEENA SHAKIR will be in conversation with Emma Hinchcliffe, Senior Writer at Fortune.

In Leena Mo, CEO, there’s nothing Leena Mo dreads more than shoveling snow. What if she invented something to take the chore off her plate? After tinkering and testing, Leena creates the robot Helmy, whose shoveling prowess sweeps her neighbors off their feet! As demand for the robot helper grows, Leena fills orders, accepts investments, and hires more help — before she knows it, her snow day idea has turned into a booming business! What’s next for Leena Mo, CEO? 

Thursday, October 24th at 6PM ET at Our 17th St Store!
