Meet Sharon Roshell: Living The Authenticated Life

 

Sharon Roshell is a speaker, recording artist, and leader who invites people to recognize the divine imprint within them. Her life’s work centers on awakening purpose, amplifying identity, and calling others into alignment with who God created them to be. Whether she is lifting her voice on stage, speaking into hearts behind a microphone, shaping systems in education and family services, or coaching women out of self-doubt into confidence, Sharon carries one consistent thread: she creates spaces where transformation is possible.

 

From an early age, Sharon knew her voice mattered. At just 13 years old, she was selected from across the nation to perform at the historic Carnegie Hall in New York City, a moment that awakened her love for moving people through sound and story. That passion expanded in high school, where she emerged as an award-winning speaker, earning top honors in statewide competitions. Even then, her ability to captivate and inspire was evident. Yet her journey was not without struggle. Years of criticism and self-doubt could have silenced her, but instead, they refined her resolve to keep showing up and using her voice anyway.

 

Although Sharon initially pursued nursing, her path took a defining turn during a powerful tent revival. A preacher she had never met spoke a prophetic word over her life, declaring that her voice would bless the world. That moment became a crossroads. Through prayer, confirmation, and courage, Sharon pivoted toward her true calling. She later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Certification in Professional Life Coaching specializing in Health and Wellness, along with a Master of Science in Human Services and Counseling, intentionally equipping herself to serve the whole person: spirit, mind, and body.

 

That calling has carried Sharon across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, where her ministry has brought healing, hope, and clarity to lives across the globe. Her music and words have become vessels for deep encounters with God’s Spirit. One woman testified that years of grief lifted as Sharon sang. Others share how a single message or moment unlocked freedom they had been praying for. These stories reflect the heart of Sharon’s work: not performance, but presence; not polish, but purpose.

 

As a recording artist, Sharon has released five musical projects, beginning with God Is Bigger (2005) and Never Thirst Again (2008), followed by Church Girl 20:14 (2014). Her Billboard-charting singles iSing and Father of Glory Live further established her voice in gospel music. Her last release, Declare and Decree Live, recorded in Nashville, TN, continues to impact listeners, with new music on the horizon. Along the way, she has shared stages with artists such as Tye Tribbett, Hezekiah Walker, Smokie Norful, Lauren Daigle, Newsboys, Michael W. Smith, and Matthew West.

 

Beyond the stage, Sharon is a visionary leader and builder. Alongside her husband, Dr. Antonio D. Thomas, she has co-founded Parresia Music, Kulima Care Family Services, a therapeutic family services and child-placing agency, and M.H.G. Preparatory Academy, a private middle and high school dedicated to developing global leaders. Her work in education and family services reflects the same heartbeat as her music, equipping people to grow, lead, and thrive with integrity and purpose.

 

Now based in Louisville, KY, Sharon remains deeply committed to empowering adult women to move from self-doubt into lives marked by authenticity, fulfillment, and courage. Across every platform she touches, her message is clear and consistent: you are not behind, you are not disqualified, and you are not meant to shrink. You were created with intention, and your life matters right now.

 

Through music, speaking, leadership, and service, Sharon Roshell continues to ignite purpose, champion authenticity, and invite others to walk boldly in their God-given assignment.
