Life
is a series of transitions. Its highways are constantly filled with people seeking their destinies and purposes in life. Everything
Sharon Jenkins is today is because of her journey. Sharon's journey started over 40 years ago in Queens, New York. She
has literally followed many highways in search of who God wants her to be. At the age of eight, she decided that self-expression
was a critical part of who she is. She began to write. In her early 20's she was challenged to speak about the songs that
flowed from her heart. She began to talk to crowds of people. In her forties, after years of preparation by life's rough
places, Sharon finally felt she had something to shout about because of the victories in her life. She began to teach. She
is a published author and she has written several Christian plays. She has also co-authored a book of inspirational psalms
called the Songs of Three Sisters and produced and directed two plays she wrote called The Café of Hope and
Benjamin Thomas Worthington, Resurrected. She performed as a dramatic reader in the poetry recital Sing Loudly
Hallelujah written and directed by K. G. Bell.
Sharon is a current resident of Houston, Texas. She is an educator and often refers to herself as a "teacher
of teachers". Sharon's abilities to effectively communicate and adapt to a wide variety of audiences have been the
keys to her success as a speaker. She has had the privilege of sharing with businesses, social organizations, churches, and
schools as well as at professional conferences. She is also a public speaking coach.
Her
most recent literary project is Ready Set Succeed, Making Your Dream Come True,a compilation where she authored the
chapter titled "From Perseverance to Purpose" and she co-produced the historical documentary, “Do
You Remember? African American Business Success in Houston, Texas.”
This dynamic lady's goal is to always remain teachable. As a professional, she feels that
education and application go hand in hand. She has a masters from Oral Roberts University. Sharon is a member of New Light
Christian Center Church, Houston Citizens Chamber of Commerce, and listed in Who’s Who in Black Houston.
