Where Ya From?

Embracing Your Bold with Kierra Sheard-Kelly

The journey to self-acceptance isn’t an easy one.

Just because you’re not someone’s cup of tea doesn’t mean you aren’t a cup of tea. In this episode of VOICES’ Where Ya From? podcast, award-winning gospel singer Kierra Sheard-Kelly shares her journey from condemnation to body positivity, as well as her passion for spiritual self-care and living boldly in faith.
