Sharon Williams

Sharon, hails from Birmingham, AL by way of Boston, MA.  Born in Tuscaloosa, AL she is a graduate of Stillman College and currently holds a PHR certification in Human Resources–the field in which she has worked for the past 20+ years.  Sharon has recently published the book: The ABCs of Real Beauty–the “must have” accessory for every woman and young girl.  Through years of battling negative body image, fighting the internal struggle to be herself and yet conform to her environment, and hearing the conversations of other women, Sharon saw a need.  Relying on her faith, while balancing the responsibilities of wife, mother, and career, Sharon sought for a solution.  A solution that would lift the esteem of herself and other women alike. Something that would fly in the face of those “unwritten” rules in which society operates.  You can learn more about her work by visiting her Real Beauty A to Z website.  Copies of her book, The ABC’s of Real Beauty, can be purchased on Amazon.com.
