Hello, Writing visionaries! I’m Shari Walker, a tapestry weaver of words and a gardener planting seeds of potential in the fertile soil of imagination. But perhaps, you might know me better as a writer, a coach, and a seasoned navigator of life’s myriad paths. My odyssey has taken me from the humble beginnings as a foster-care child to the vibrant stages of advocacy and empowerment, where I’ve learned the art of painting possibilities onto the canvas of life. I’ve found my voice in the rhythm of spoken word poetry, the narrative arcs of plays that have earned me accolades, and the stories that have found their way onto platforms like PBS SoCal and 89.3 KPCC.

Not just a writer, I am a chronicler of change, an award-winning playwright whose works have resonated with audiences and critics alike. Every piece I’ve penned, every story I’ve shared, has been a step toward redefining what it means to thrive against the odds. With a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California, I’ve fused the power of storytelling with the transformative potential of social innovation. This blend of narrative mastery and strategic thinking informs my approach to vision boards. It’s not just about setting goals; it’s about scripting a holistic narrative for your life where every aspiration finds its scene and every dream gets its dialogue. My publishing credits are as diverse as my experiences. From educational insights shared in Education Week to thought-provoking feature short insights in the Santa Monica Daily Press (SMDP), my written word is a testament to my journey and an invitation to readers to embark on their own.
