I Love Being A Girl with Sharnissa A. Washington

Faith without works is dead. We all have dreams, goals and aspirations, that what makes us human. Some large and others small, however its beautiful because it's our dream! I've learned quickly that without working your dream….it's just a dream. Today. I encourage you to do the work!

Have you ever needed the faith to stay? Stay with a job, task, relationship, ministry or course. It's real easy to go, but what if it's meant to stay!! It's take faith & obedience…let's talk about it.

In this podcast I share a big announcement! Here we go on another journey.

In this episode, I share the importance of communication and dialogue. As humans we were created to co-exist and be in relationships which requires opening up and talking up! Lets build healthy relationships by opening dialogue that brings clarity & healing. We are not a generation that will sweep things under the rug. It may be deep, raw & ugly but let"s dialogue without being offended.

In this episode I dig into Insecurities, those really ugly things. Some insecurities stem from childhood, comparison or lack of confidence. Heyyyyy, don't let insecurities stop you. Here's how! You got this!

I talk with gospel Recording artist Kelontae Gavin about his call to this generation and his greatest inspiration. Humble, hilarious, and genuine, Kelontae continues to impact generations.

I have watched the news. I have prayed. I have taken precautions. Some days are easier than others, emotionally & mentally. I'm not a scientist or politician. I'm a concerned member of society. I'm a global traveller. I live in two countries and everything is different within the USA and the Middle East. What is going on?! One thing for sure, we must have confidence in God during this quarantine. The USA is partially opening and within days, everything can change.

In this episode I share a rare truth about those who will not support you in business or ministry. Most of my supporters are strangers or distant friends. I love my supports, they help push me! Truth is though, it hasn't always been this way and sometimes when I produce new content it's not this way. Yep, and it can hit your confidence....badly. Support can get low and your confidence can get low too. Nevertheless, you have to be confident in yourself, your call, your vision and your products. When very few people support or cheer you on, find confidence within and keep pushing!! Today, I whisper a prayer for you... you got this! Find your crew & go!

In this episode I share how we all struggle with confidence. I'm one of them, at times I have to say affirmations and speak to myself in the mirror. A night in a BLONDE WIG schooled me about confidence. I rocked it confidently! How I viewed myself that night, changed how other viewed me. Issa Word! I hope this episode encourages you and boost your confident. The confidence you have within will help you accomplish your mission and goal on this journey we call life! Love ya!

In this podcast I share my traveling experience in the beautiful country of Egypy. Who would have known 3-days in Egypt would make me a celebrity! Acquired? Yes. Unbearable? No. A learning experience? Absolutely! Then when leaving Egypt, I see two stunning brides in the airport and we happen to board the same plane. Huh, what?! Where were they going and why couldn't I ask. Anyway, enjoy this humorous podcast and of course my nugget. I want to encourage and embrace you along that way.

Hey sister girls! Sharnissa has a lot to share in this episode! Do you know anyone that plays the victim? Maybe it’s family, friends or even you. We all have to handle harsh situations. We get walked on, talked about or even dragged, but we can’t play the victim any longer. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and walk it out. Playing the victim can stop you! Sure, it happened but be healed, talk over yourself and move on. Don’t drag them like they dragged you. Don’t speak defeat over your life. Don’t be held to your past. Girl, go!!!
