In January 2020, she will kick off the year’s first Business Girlfriends shower in Atlanta. She has already gathered over 2,000 women in her tribe to empower with a teaching of Kingdom Mindset and a sisterhood with determination you can accomplish any obstacles.
Sharon is also working on completing her first book entitled Distract, Denied, Delayed But I Have Destiny. She says this book will bring awareness to our community. She comments, “We are taught not to speak on sexual abuse and the laws in the United States aren’t protecting us from this. My journey and story to give account to how this led me into a dark world of depression and criminal activity. The ones that where supposed to protect me were just as damaged, but through my faith and great leadership and mentors, I was able to raise out of it all.”
She says this book will help families to no longer allow their loved ones to look the other way in fear of rejection. Sharon also hopes to created a documentary series on the journey of felon to entrepreneurship.
