- Tell the listeners a little about who is Sharif Rasheed is?
Sharif Rasheed is a man that loves what he does in its purest form. I have always worked hard at what I do and enjoy it because it is a fun ride. I have a simple outlook on life that is about right and wrong. I have been called a realist, but I chose to call myself a common sense thinker. I love myself and know my worth. I was raised by a strong woman that educated me on life experience and made sure I always stayed humble and true to myself. I have centered my life on peace and self-love.
- Tell me about your new book?
In “Women, Are You Serious” I ask women to question their relationships with both self and others. Looking at past relationships is a thought-provoking self-empowerment tool to motivate you while you embark on a personal journey to self-love. Happiness starts with awareness and honesty. Guided by my principle factors to achieving happiness, I help you embrace your personal strengths that will become the building blocks to your new foundation of love and happiness.
- What makes you an expert in relationships?
What makes me an expert is I use the tools and lessons that were given to me by the women in my life. I have learned a lot about, Life, Love and Relationships from some of the most honest women you can imagine. These are the women that I dedicated my book to. I have listened, paid attention and studied relationships for years and finally decided to put my knowledge into a book. I am young and many may doubt my expertise, but I ask them to read my book before they make judgment.
- How did you come up with the name of your book?
I have always said “Seriously” It was almost like a catch phrase that I used when someone did something that was ridiculous, unnecessary or funny. I always knew that the title does not come first. As I was writing and ran a lot of title through my head and nothing was sticking. I said to myself “Serious, I can’t think of a title?” and at that moment I knew what my title was going to be. Since my book is about women questioning self and others I thought Women, Are you serious? was a great title for my book. It is not only is catchy, but it also sparks conversation.
- Who/What inspires you to do what you do?
My mother is my true inspiration. She has given me so much knowledge and support since I was a little child. She taught me about life and showed me what pure love is. I have learned so much from her about relationships and honesty. She gave me a foundation that starts with self-love years ago and it is what helped me write this book.
- Are you single, and what do you desire in a woman?
I am in a successful relationship and it is beautiful. Relationships are great and can create some of the greatest joys in your life. Relationships can inspire you to do great things like write a book. I desire a woman that loves herself. A strong woman that knows her worth because it is something that is extremely beautiful and exciting. You cannot describe the feeling with words I can only say that it is a feeling that we should all want to have and deserve to have.
