How to Overcome Adversity and Embrace Your Voice w/ Hope Sheree, Inspirational Artist

Imagine you have been working with the most popular artists in the R&B music industry...and only to be led by a radical faith experience to shift entirely into the gospel music world - a world that doesn’t really know how to deal with your ‘unchurchy’ background. 

What would you do? 

This was the situation facing Hope Sheree, an award-winning singer / songwriter, blogger, actress, motivational speaker and radio show host. After years of working with some of the most popular artists in the world of R&B and soul, she found herself facing challenges from every side - from a battle for her health, to a battle to present her authentic vision as an artist. With determination and a willingness to hold on through adversity, she has now found her purpose in sharing both her own gift, and amplifying the stories of others who have overcome the odds against them. 

Hope's music has garnered national attention by such radio networks as Radio One, Clear Channel, Sheridan & Rejoice, and her music has charted with the likes of Mary Mary, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Tamela Mann, and more. Recently, Hope was featured on the Netflix series “Voices of Fire” as a member of Pharrell Williams’ Voices of Fire Choir, and has since appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Jimmy Kimmel Show.

In this raw, powerful and revealing  talk, Hope reveals the tough lessons she learned as an artist who accepted Jesus later in life, and the radical adjustment that spiritual revelation made on her career expectations and goals.  She relates with vulnerability how unforgiving the music industry can be on an artist’s self-image, and how she was able to find the freedom to be her true self and to embrace God’s unique calling on her life and career.
