Shirkydra Roberts

Founder and CEO

Shirkydra Roberts is a powerhouse of energy, passion, and purpose—a dynamic Evangelist, Motivational Speaker, Life Transformation Coach, Author, #METOO Advocate, and Active Duty Navy Officer. Overcoming the profound challenges of child sexual abuse, she made the courageous decision to break free from the survival persona she created and step into her authentic self. Her journey to mental peace became a beacon of hope for others as she openly shared her story to inspire empowerment, transformation, and perspective shifts.

As the Founder and CEO of Impact, Aspire, Motivate Enterprises (I.A.M.E), Shirkydra is on a mission to help others turn their past pain into purpose. Raised in Dallas, Texas, alongside her mother and two siblings, she experienced trauma, setbacks, and failures early in life. But at 20, she found salvation through Christ, embarking on a spiritual journey that revealed how her life’s trials were shaping her to impact and uplift others.

Today, Shirkydra is a sought-after speaker, author, and coach, inspiring people worldwide to break free from their limitations and embrace their God-given potential. Her courage and determination have helped countless individuals discover healing, purpose, and untapped talents.

Your Voice is OUR Voice!

Growing up, I did not know who I was and what I wanted out of life outside of being SAFE! I wanted the little girl in me to see that life was worth living although life presented nothing but pain at first. As I got older, I realized that although the traumatic experiences stopped, it was up to me to change the impact those experiences had on my life. 

I have spent years learning how to heal, train new beliefs, and develop healthy life styles that push individuals and teams to operate at their max potential DAILY for max RESULTS!  YOU nor your TEAM can produce more, be different, or reach your goals without working on SELF first. 

I have worked with corporate teams, speakers, coaches, military leaders, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and educators on developing strategies that create healthy work environments that promote diversity, inclusion, equality, and mental health. All it takes is one voice, one shift, one idea, or one safe place to transform a life, a business, and a legacy forever.  

Give your audience ENERGY that sparks action! 

She uses thought provoking questions that will impact perspective and ownership within her audience pertaining to resilience, motivation, and desired purpose. She brings her personal experiences as a survivor from child sexual abuse, sexism, racism, and the daily challenges that came with rising through the ranks as an African American woman in the engineering field to inspire and train leaders how to create safe, motivating, and resilient environments that drive team members to start and end their day with 100% effort. She aims to influence ideas, production, progress, and impact within a team or business to increase sales, production, and team cohesion. She ask specific questions that allows for the audience to give their perspective while getting professional feedback from other members to ensure her attendees get a chance to not just hear the conversation but become part of the conversation.” 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

MY STORY, OUR VOICE!

“Dear Brain You Have My Attention“

“Thinking back, I remember when I had my first Aha! moment, realizing that my heart was whole but my mind was not.” – Shirkydra

In Dear Brain, You Have My Attention, I take you along side my present experience as I journey through my Cognitive Process Therapy sessions in hopes of finding a whole version of myself. I had spent years healing from childhood trauma but eventually reached a season that was unfamiliar, uncertain and that required my extra attention.

“I wrote this book with you in mind! If you have had to ask yourself the question “Am I normal”, I am talking to you…US! This book is for children, adults, teens, all genders, and all VICTORS who have battled being loved or have wanted to love beyond the mental block, built from any form of trauma.”

In Dear Brain, You Have My Attention, I share my experience of combining Faith and  Psychotherapy to get to a place of wholeness- mind, body, and soul. My hope is that my story will inspire you to go deeper in your healing journey from trauma to find your voice, your purpose, and your passion with the intent of living a life that is a direct reflection of why God created you to be who you will become!

“Just Unwrap It“

” How do I find my purpose? is a question many people ask because they tend to look for their purpose in the future instead of realizing how their gift is part of their past” – Shirkydra 

In Just Unwrap It, I share a unique perspective on how to fuel a future of purpose after experiencing trauma and pain in the past.s a transformational experience about discovering the gift that is inside of you that you have yet to unwrap. We constantly find ourselves in search of our purpose, gifts, or reason for existence. We go through different conflicts, challenges, or traumas throughout life and we don’t always channel the emotions and feelings from these experiences in the right areas of our lives.

“We all have a gift, we just havent unwrapped it yet because it might be wrapped in pain”” – Shirkydra

In this book, you will learn about my own battles with struggling with being molested, suicidal, and fearful of the things that once had a hold on me. I woke up one day and decided that my life was not over and that what happened to me did not have to become me. When you read this book, I hope you look back over your life to realize how much God took your Pain and is about to turn it into your PURPOSE. Let’s unwrap the gift inside of you and push you into your purpose!

“What’s a Word Worth“

” I did not know how to express myself so I found a way to say what I felt through poetry” – Kydra

In What’s a Word Worth, I tell my story through a selection of poems because I did not know any other way to express my experience, and tribulations of my walk of life. These poems reflect my testimony. I had a desire to reach out to younger generations to show them that none of us are alone and we need the Love of Christ and His people to endure to the end and to come out of our own beginnings.

Proverbs 18:21 states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” The way we express ourselves will produce life or death and that’s exactly what these poems are about. Everything I write is something I’ve been through or I’ve been around to walk someone else through. “What’s a Word Worth” consists of love, pain, endurance, long-suffering, growth, wisdom, and the Truth about moving and being lifted by Jesus Christ. 

Client Testimonials

"Shirkydra shared with me her story of sexual abuse beginning at age 5, and how she went on to forgive and meet with her abuser. Today, this woman is in the US Navy and guess what? She SPEAKS! She speaks to Inspire. She speaks to give hope yet the most important piece I offered her was her ability to speak to empower others to HEAL! To Rise up to be the Women that God has created them to be. To overcome their pain and limitations and LIVE In their Greatness. This young woman has the ability to be on Oprah. To use National TV as a platform for her story and it's really NOT about the story itself, but it has everything to do with how she has used it to become who she is now. She is a powerhouse!”
-Christine Miskinis
"Shirkydra Roberts spoke at our school’s (Kindergarten- 8th grade) Veterans Day assembly. She was confident and inspiring. She spoke eloquently about service and being true to oneself. Everyone was impressed by her wisdom. She was gracious and enthusiastic when students asked questions.”
-Nancy E
"You are one POWERFUL LEADER! To be fully present to your divine voice, Shirkydra Roberts, I had to stop recording; your message was extremely inspiring and motivating.”
-Paty Maez
