For Media & Event Planners
Official bio:
Sharon Hurley Hall (she/her) is the creator of the Unsilenced™ Method and the author of I’m Tired of Racism. She works with people whose voices have been silenced, sidelined, or shut down by systems, burnout, and the gap between what they know and how they’ve been allowed to say it, helping them get what’s in their head into the world in a way that is structured, sustainable, and unmistakably theirs.
Her work draws on 30 years as a journalist and educator, two decades as a Reiki practitioner, and lived experience of racism across four countries. Anti-racism and introversion are not categories she works in. They are the lenses that shaped everything about how the Unsilenced™ Method is built, who it’s for, and why silence is never treated as a neutral outcome.
Sharon is one half of the Anthem Award-winning Introvert Sisters Podcast, co-hosted with Lisa Hurley. Her book I’m Tired of Racism is an Amazon bestseller and 2025 American Writing Awards finalist. She publishes Sharon’s Anti-Racism Newsletter twice weekly to 5,600+ subscribers. She holds MA degrees in Media and Cultural Studies and in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and is based in Barbados.
Available for keynote speaking, workshops, and media appearances across the UK, North America, and the Caribbean. Virtual engagements available globally.
