As a longtime residence of Paterson, helping people has always been Sharonda’s passion. Sharonda’s work in the community began in 2003 with the Paterson Mustang Football Organization Parent Committee. In April 2003 she began working with men and women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction as well as co-occurring disorders. Muture Sisters was founded in 2009; in which, she began feeding the homeless, providing care packages and supportive services to the homeless population in the City of Paterson. Sharonda has worked in the Human Service filed for 20 years.  Sharonda is currently employed at Paterson Counseling Center as Primary Substance Abuse Counselor.  In September 2015 Sharonda successfully became a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor. She belongs to several organizations that are working to encourage, uplift and empower women to include: Women of Empowerment Group, Heart of Hannah and Fidelity Chapter 16 Eastern Star. She has also received countless awards for her tireless time and efforts to her community and other non-profit organizations.

Sharonda is a member of Grace Chapel Baptist Church of Paterson, under the Pastorate of Gregory L. Wilson.

Sharonda feels that not only will Muture Sisters be an asset to the City of Paterson, but by combining her organization’s efforts with community leaders and other organizations, there will be a way to break this cycle of despair. She strives to give women and men hope for their future on a daily basis.

Sharond’s passion is to help restore women and men self-worth!
