OVERFLOWING TODAY! Welcome Sharon!!! ... an accomplished author, actress, producer, host, media personality, and health and wellness advocate whose vibrant career has spanned decades. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and later making her home in New York, Sharon is widely recognized as a cultural ambassador and respected voice in media and storytelling. Her work radiates resilience, authenticity, and a deep commitment to community.
She is the author of the Amazon best-seller Sheribaby: A Little Girl’s BIG Voice in Post-Independence Jamaica—a story that’s been described as compelling, heartfelt, and full of spirit. The book introduces us to Sheribaby, a sharp, spunky, and insightful six-and-a-half-year-old who observes and questions the world around her with wit, courage, and a voice far beyond her years.
Written in the rich dialect of Jamaica, Sheribaby is refreshingly relatable, speaking in the language of the people and offering a bold, honest, and sometimes humorous look at Jamaican society—“stirring the pot like it’s never been stirred by a seven-year-old!” (ooh! Check out the glossary in the back of the book too!)
Sharon’s recent recognition as the
winner of the 2025 “What’s Your Story, Jamaica?” storytelling competition is just one of many well-earned accolades that reflect her impact and brilliance.
We are so thankful you’re here with us today, Sharon, to share your inspiration, your writing strategies, and what it’s been like to bring this unforgettable book to life.
Please join me in giving a warm and heartfelt welcome to the one and only Sharon Gordon.
