Oh Sht Moments

Oh Sht Moments Free Virtual Networking Event

04/12/2026

Our first Oh Sh*t Moments LIVE was everything we hoped for and so much more!

On February 19, 2026, we took over during Black History Month’s 100th year for our inaugural live event - the only word that comes close to capturing the night is electric.

Ninety people showed up in the rain. And the inspiration we all left with was palatable.

One guest told us he is in a phase of transition and growth and was seriously doubting his next steps. He shared that his attendance was just the battery he needed to push himself over the hump. He shared with such conviction and inspiration and left us excited to push to share this space with so many more of you!

Oh Sh*t Moments LIVE brought together some of Black Hollywood’s most compelling voices for a night of unfiltered storytelling, candid conversation, and the kind of professional honesty most panels will never offer.
Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola. Dewayne Perkins. Saisha Beecham. Hosted by actor, comedian and storyteller Dave Helem. Vibes curated by DJ Iesha Irene.
They talked about the moments that almost ended everything, the pivots nobody saw coming and the invaluable lessons that only come from moments like these. The Oh Sh*t Moments that sit quietly behind the careers, the credits, and the accolades that the most inspiring professionals have built.

This is for every professional, founder, and creative who is waiting until things are perfect before making their move.

Stop waiting. The mess is part of the recipe.

The next chapter is already being written.

The verdict is in: Oh Sh*t Moments LIVE was everything we hoped for and so much more! 

The curtain has closed on our inaugural live event, and the only word that comes close to capturing it? Electric. 

From the moment the first cork flew to the final note from our DJ, this moment delivered exactly what we set out to create: a room full of real people, real stories, and real transformation. So dope to see everyone come out even in the rain!  

This was a movement made visible. Time to inspire action over perfection.  

Raw conversations, genuine connections, and undeniable energy. 

Sending a virtual standing ovation to the powerhouse speakers who got vulnerable and real, leaving our audience inspired and ready to take real action toward their goals. Thank you for shifting perspectives through your candid stories.

Every laugh is earned… And most of them come from an Oh Sh*t moment 🌟⠀
⠀⠀
Comedian, actress, and writer, Sheedz is known for turning real life into sharp, honest comedy—the kind that hits because it’s rooted in truth. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Her stories are fearless, familiar, and unapologetically real.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
She’s stepping into this space to share the moments behind the laughs—the missteps, pivots, and lessons that shaped her path and sharpened her voice.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
This isn’t just comedy.⠀⠀
It’s perspective.⠀⠀
It’s permission to keep going when the plan falls apart.⠀⠀

⁣Q: What is an Oh S*t Moment?⠀

A: That moment in your career or personal life when things didn’t go as planned and all you could say was “OH SHT.” When your plan blew up in your face. Or when things went better than expected and you were unprepared for the abundance that followed.⠀

Join us on 2.19 for a powerful panel conversation featuring some of Black Hollywood’s most prominent voices on and off screen.⠀

The failures. The pivots. The growth that can come from a single decision.⠀
