In an era where the media and publishing industries are constantly evolving, SHP Enterprise emerges as a beacon of innovation and diversity. Founded by Dr. Sharon H. Porter, SHP Enterprise encompasses a trio of ventures that synergize to empower voices, enrich minds, and elevate stories. With Vision & Purpose LifeStyle Magazine and Media, SHP Media and Broadcasting Studio, and Perfect Time SHP Publishing under its umbrella, this empire stands out not only for its commitment to quality content but also for its dedication to providing platforms for diverse voices.
At the heart of SHP Enterprise is Vision & Purpose LifeStyle Magazine and Media, a publication that has carved a niche for itself with regular columns such as EducationFIRST, In the Community, NC Feature, BookTalk, It’s All Business, Home Sweet Home, Dollar$ & Sense, Mind Body & Soul, If It’s Natural, and Women Who Lead. These columns cater to a wide range of interests and reflect Dr. Porter’s holistic approach to media production — one that values the power of education, community engagement, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, mental health, natural living, and female leadership.
The magazine has hosted interviews with notable figures like Latrice Pace, Butta B Rocka, Kim Maurice Scott, Tambra Cherie, Amina Stevens, Lodriguez Murray, and Tammy Reese, adding layers of depth and influence to its already rich content narrative. Through these conversations, Vision & Purpose delves into topics that resonate with readers seeking inspiration and motivation from leaders in various fields.

Transitioning from print to digital realms, SHP Media Broadcasting Studio provides a dynamic platform for stories and ideas often sidelined in mainstream discourse. “Home I Am Dr Sharon” show airs on Roku and Fire TV alongside podcasts like “Leading With Purpose,” “Leadership Matters,” “Write Book Now!,” “Women Who Lead,” and “EducationFIRST.” This studio amplifies voices across the spectrum, ensuring they reach audiences far and wide. Through the innovative use of technology and multimedia formats, SHP Media aims to disrupt traditional broadcasting paradigms, making space for new and underrepresented narratives to flourish.
Meanwhile, Perfect Time Publishing operates as a hybrid publishing house tailored specifically toward self-publishers and emerging authors. This division exemplifies the enterprise’s educational ethos, offering resources and guidance to those looking to navigate the complex world of authorship. Among its personal publishings, the HBCU Experience book series, Women Who Lead, Next In Line, and Fifty and Fabulous stand as testimonials to its commitment to elevating diverse and authentic storytelling.
Beyond her ventures, Dr. Porter herself embodies the vision and purpose behind her enterprises. As the founder and executive director of The Next InLine to Lead Aspiring Principals Leadership Academy and New Principal Roundtable, she extends her influence into educational leadership development. Her accolades include the 2023 MAESP Connected Leader, 2023 Women of Prince George’s Community Award, and the 2019 National Celebrity Educator of the Year, among others. Moreover, her memberships and affiliations, such as Women of Prince George’s, NAESP, Black Girls in Media, Forbes Coaches Council, ForbesBLK, International Association of Women, Gallup Certified StrengthsCoach, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., further attest to the breadth and impact of her work.
