Growing up with a father who was unwillfully drafted in the Army to serve time in Korea, Shā Sparks inherited her father’s “I don’t have a choice” mindset. Later she realized she did have a choice and overcame abuse, addiction, depression, anger, low self-worth, being a bully and being bullied. Today, she has proactively changed that fear-based phrase “I don’t have a choice” into determination inspiring others to make fearless choices. She guides leaders in the military and business industries to step out of their comfort zone to embody skills and tools to lead with emotional intelligence and intellect through her Spark Your ALPHA™️ program.
Also, Sha is a Veterans Advocate for shifting the narrative from PTSD to PTGrowth.

Being a Spark of Hope in the Midst of Change is making a courageous conscious decision to respond to the adjustment of change in a positive light.
The #FIRESTARTERS Book Project is a collection of creative thought leaders who are collaborating, planning, directing, organizing, and creating new ideas to navigate change.
We understand that a single match, if left alone, will fizzle out quickly. Therefore, when one match ignites another, we build a stronger fire. We start with a tiny spark that ignites hope, creativity, curiosity, fearlessness, connection, kindness, collaboration, mindfulness, community, acceptance, purpose, contribution and love into the world.
That single spark creates a ripple effect, then gains momentum and spreads like wildfire.
We create a collective, positive, proactive shift in the world because we are the change we want to see.
Together, we are
#FIRESTARTERS!
