(In 2019, Silence the Shame was awarded one of five awards by the American Psychiatric Association Foundation for advancing minority mental health). In addition to running her nonprofit, Shanti is a public speaker. She speaks live at companies/universities sharing her inspiring story and now facilitating virtual webinars around mental wellness with licensed mental health clinicians. Companies include Warner Chappell Publishing, National Geographic, SB Projects, Translation agency, NBA, Sony Music Publishing, EA Sports, LVMH, Sony Music UK, Freddie Mac, BMI, Clinton Foundation, Dechert LLC, Spotify, Cushman & Wakefield, Warner Media, PUMA,
