about Sharmain

Helping Fathers and Families Flourish

Sharmain is a National Speaker, and Author who shares his expertise in fatherhood and prison reentry. After serving time in prison, Sharmain returned to society determined and destined to success. Although his felony conviction was a major obstacle he refused to allow it to interrupt his path to greatness. 

A career opportunity to work with fathers in the community through a social service program propelled his life to the next level. His work with fathers and families led to receiving many awards including a full scholarship to earn his degree in Business Management. Shortly after obtaining his bachelor’s degree, Sharmain earned his Master’s degree in business design and innovation. One of his most notable achievements was completing his parole sentence four years early for his work in the community. He would later be granted a full pardon from the Governor of Wisconsin and have all of his rights restored!

His turnaround from prison to purpose has given hope to the 600,000 men and women returning from prison every year. His passion to strengthen families through father involvement has inspired change in family services organizations around the nation. As the owner of Sharmain Harris & Associates, Sharmain continues to use his platform to spread a message of hope, change, and perseverance through inspirational speeches, training and workshops throughout the nation.
