Sharon Njoroge ~ Founder
Founder Story of Sharon: The Vision Behind Lifted Spirits
In 2022, Sharon moved to a foreign country filled with excitement but soon faced overwhelming loneliness, isolation, and struggles with finding a job. Far from her family and facing the barriers of being an immigrant, she felt disconnected and misunderstood. The weight of these challenges, combined with seasonal depression, led her to realize she wasn’t alone in her struggles. Many immigrants shared similar burdens but lacked a space to express their feelings. The job hunt was particularly disheartening, as she realized that her accent, background, and immigrant status were often obstacles in her pursuit of work. Sharon found herself unable to speak out about her difficulties, fearing that voicing her struggles would reinforce negative stereotypes about immigrants.
This led to the creation of Lifted Spirits—a place where immigrants could come together, share their experiences, and support one another without judgment. Sharon envisioned a space built on empathy, where people didn’t need to have all the answers, but could simply listen and be heard. She believed that by fostering a community of understanding, immigrants could find strength and solidarity in their shared experiences. Lifted Spirits was never meant to be a traditional therapy space but rather a supportive environment where conversations could spark healing.
As Lifted Spirits continues to grow, Sharon hopes to expand the organization to reach more immigrants in need of guidance, whether it’s for mental health support, job resources, visa concerns, or simply connecting with others who understand. Her ultimate goal is to provide both practical resources and emotional support, making immigrants feel valued and less alone. Through mentorship, education, and peer support, Sharon wants Lifted Spirits to become a place where immigrants can access the help they need to build a fulfilling life in a new country.
For Sharon, Lifted Spirits is not just an organization; it’s a living, breathing testament to the power of community. It’s a place where empathy, listening, and shared experiences allow individuals to heal, grow, and succeed together. Looking at the people who have come together through Lifted Spirits, Sharon knows that they are all on a journey of healing, one conversation at a time, and that the organization has the potential to change the lives of countless immigrants for years to come.
