"Black Women & Spirituality: Where Healing & Justice Meet"
Join Layli Maparyan and friends for a conversation about Black women and spirituality, healing, and justice, from diverse perspectives. Layli Maparyan, a Baha'i and womanist scholar (author of The Womanist Reader and The Womanist Idea) will be joined by Stephanie Y. Evans (professor of Black women's studies and author of Black Women's Yoga History: Memoirs of Inner Peace, as well as several other volumes) and Sharon Saffold-Harris (motivational speaker, trainer, author of Cake and Combat Boots, and recent Emory School of Theology graduate). Together, they will weave a wonderful tapestry of wisdom and wit that speaks to these times from a spiritualized Black women's perspective.
Brief Bio
Sharon Saffold launched her career as a motivational speaker more than a decade ago after envisioning the life she wanted to live. She envisioned herself learning from celebritymotivational speaker Les Brown, traveling abroad to speak to audiences in the hundreds and thousands and changing lives.
It’s a good thing Sharon had vision because all of her dreams had come true, ten years earlier than she anticipated. Sharon crafted a message; “I Won’t Take No for An Answer”, fashioned after her, “Turn No around and it’s ON now!” attitude regarding rejection.
Now Sharon travels nationally and internationally speaking to audiences of professionals, social thought leaders and youths with a Giant message empowering them to create change in their own lives and communities. Sharon flies high in the face of victory and success sharing with othershow they too can do the same with willingness to change.
