About Sharon's Straight Talk
From the publisher's feed
I’ve lived and worked in many parts of the world, including mainland China, the United States, Hong Kong and England. I worked for leading financial institutions for nearly 20 years and was involved…
in international media companies for over 10 years. While I haven’t a clue where my next destination is going to be, as we navigate the crazy times today when truth often gets buried under political correctness and when narratives are increasingly set by the big media, I hope to offer a voice of reason, and bring to you relevant facts and analyses to consider so you can form well-informed opinions.
