About the Entrepreneur, Author & Artist

SHEILA NGONZI HACKBARTH believes that creativity is a force that knows no bounds transcending mere functionality. It plays a vital role not only in the realms of artistry and literature but also in the leadership of business sales and marketing solutions that has been her corporate expertise in the wine & spirits industry for over two decades.

She is an advocate for cultivating passions beyond the corporate realm, and believes in the transformative power of pursuing interests outside the confines of a corporate career. This pursuit not only enhances productivity but also sparks fresh perspectives, fosters positivity, and nurtures holistic well-being while reinforcing meaningful connections within the social fabric. 

In line with this ethos, she is an award-winning children’s book author and writer who evokes curiosity, rawness and compassionate in her storytelling and seeks readers that embrace all that unites us. She is also the Founder of Creative Abundance Advisory, an agency with a dedicated Wine & Spirits consultancy division and a department that actively seeks collaborations with fellow artists and authors to unveil untold stories and vibrant canvases, enriching the creative tapestry of expression.

Sheila published her first children’s picture book called Lion’s Water in 2023 with plans to write several more. She is also working on a debut, fiction novel called “A Prayer Before Dreaming". Sheila lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two sons along with their beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, Kizzy and Kai.
