“The Anti-Bullying Program moved me to tears. My child desperately needed this—and honestly, so did I. It gave us both a sense of hope and reminded me that we’re not alone. I’m so thankful this school stands with my child. And so do I.”
— A grateful parent from Kenwood Middle School.
“Bullying has become a relentless force—no longer confined to school walls, but following students through technology. Sharon, thank you for bringing light to this darkness. Your book offers hope, understanding, and the tools to help stop the harm.”
— Rebecca Edwards, M.Ed., English Teacher, Rossview Middle School Excerpt from ACTIONS: The Bullying & Suicide Resource Guide for the 21st Century, authored by Sharon Kaye Edwards

Excerpt from ACTIONS: The Bullying & Suicide Resource Guide for the 21st Century, authored by Sharon Kaye Edwards
“I’m deeply thankful to God for placing people in our lives who lift us higher. My son Mateo—and so many children in Clarksville—had the incredible opportunity to showcase their talents and learn alongside celebrity Chef Sterling Wright from Hell’s Kitchen, both Chef Brandons, and Chef Robin Little of Diamond Ministries. A very special thank you to Sharon Kaye Edwards— ‘Grandma Sharon’—for bringing this all together and for always being a voice of hope and a listening ear, even when I’ve felt invisible.”
— Rosalee Lugo, Clarksville Parent
“I’ve observed Sharon Kaye Edwards serve in multiple roles across our Clarksville and Montgomery County community. She’s a rare leader whose work consistently creates lasting, positive impact—especially through her nonprofit, I AM INVISIBLE. Her dedication to empowering youth, many of whom lack stable role models, is both inspiring and essential. Sharon’s compassion, resilience, and ability to confront hard issues give me confidence that our community is in capable hands.”
