Welcome back to The Event Pro Show- your trusted podcast for all things corporate events, experiential marketing, and the creative craftsmanship that brings gatherings to life. This week, host Seth Macchi chats with the dynamic Rah-mah Pelzer-Elue: a Nigerian American entrepreneur, award-winning poet, playwright, spoken word performer, and fierce advocate for creativity and small business growth.

From her formative years at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts to performing at the Kennedy Center and the US Black Caucus, Rah-mah’s story is both powerful and uplifting. She shares how her artistic background paved the way for a thriving career in events, founding S.H.I.F.T. Performance Staffing Agency and S.H.I.F.T. Event Rentals, while building spaces that spotlight underrepresented voices in entrepreneurship.

In this episode, Rah-mah opens up about her approach to event production, how creative disciplines translate into business success, and her take on connecting across generational and technological lines in today’s fast-changing industry. You'll also hear about a childhood event she'll never forget (hint: Rosa Parks makes an appearance), defining moments that shaped her leadership, and her bold outlook on where corporate events are headed in the years to come.

Whether you’re just getting started or a longtime industry pro, this conversation is filled with practical takeaways, authentic storytelling, and fresh energy to fuel your passion for impactful experiences.
