I AM Bold and Fearless Woman Magazine
Strength & Resilience
~~-~
Brave, Independent, Faith Walker, Fighter- these words describe me, Sharifa Neille-Kwao. STRENGTH & RESILIENCE is my nickname. I am a wife, mother of three young kids, entrepreneur, and a minister of the gospel. My purpose is to give hope to women who face numerous challenges, often feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life. Like many women, I have experienced loss and hardship, but I chose to rise above bitterness and become better through adversity. I took a leap of faith, allowing my challenges to shape and transform me, ultimately leading me to my purpose.
My journey to self-discovery began when I hit rock bottom in 2020. Amidst giving birth, losing my high-paying job of 17 years, and facing marital issues, I found myself grappling with pain and uncertainty. It was during this difficult period that I truly understood the depth of my inner strength and faith. Despite the setbacks, I refused to let my circumstances define me. Instead, I embraced the unknown as an opportunity for growth and reinvention.
Losing my job became the catalyst for entrepreneurship. I launched my own vending business, "L.I.F.E Vending Services," which has since flourished in South Florida. Additionally, my marital struggles inspired me to create "L.I.F.E Ministries," an online platform dedicated to encouraging others to maintain faith in the face of adversity.
Through my experiences, I have learned that being bold and fearless requires unwavering trust in God, patience with oneself, self-belief, self-love, and a willingness to embrace the healing process. By embodying these qualities, not only can we survive life's challenges, but we can thrive and emerge strong er than ever before.
