Shannon Morales is a proud Afro Latina, mother of 3 daughters, and social entrepreneur. She started her first company, Tribaja, after experiencing unconscious bias in the workplace. Tribajas double-sided marketplace connects pre-vetted diverse talent with inclusive tech companies.
By combining “tribe” and trabaja, the Spanish word for “work,” Tribaja is a name that reflects the business’ shift into a “community” of people with an interest in tech & startup careers, including an active Slack group. Shannon realized that other recruiting platforms are built exclusively upon acquiring clients. Instead, she focused on Tribaja’s ability to develop & upskill the community before all else.
Shannon has successfully scaled Tribaja to a global tech talent network that propels the growth of companies such as Lyft, Microsoft, Comcast, and many more. Her most notable accomplishments to date include being named Hispanic Business of the Year in Philadelphia, making Forbes Next 1000 small businesses list, and expanding to her second sales office in Richmond.

Travel has always been a fundamental part of my life. Growing up as a third culture kid across the world instilled a nomadic lifestyle in me. From a young age I knew I wanted to work remotely and share my unique insights on travel and cross-cultural relations.

Over the years I’ve worked remotely in different capacities, as an employee for Fortune 500 companies, as a freelancer, entrepreneur, content creator and more.

Assisting nomads in finding a place to call home. Some people find happiness at home. For others, it's success in business, love, or peace. Many people have yet to discover it. From the time I took my first solo flight at age 7, I've been looking for home. I felt like I belonged somewhere. I wanted to find a beautiful place to call home.
In search of my ideal location, I looked in the Caribbean and South America. For ways to generate money, I sought in the US and Australia; for culture and adventure, I looked in Asia and Europe. I looked for it while starting enterprises, earning a master's degree, and training countless students.
After moving to my ninth country, I finally understood that it wasn't even remotely out there. All the time, I was carrying it everywhere. Home wasn't something, someone, or someplace out there. It was inside of me and how I present myself to others, to my family, to my job, and to myself.
I dedicate my travel, language, business, and teaching expertise to helping motivated entrepreneurs and digital nomads who are based overseas find a place to call home.
