In 2014 the nation was in crisis. Partisan politics were the rule of the day, stifling and sabotaging meaningful change in Washington. Americans were desperate for someone—anyone—to offer them hope, to show them there was indeed a light at the end of the tunnel.
That hope came in the form of Sharmin Smith, a contestant on the breakthrough reality show Who Wants to Be President? Designed to increase voter participation and heal a deeply divided nation, Who Wants to Be President? pitted contestants against each other in speeches on America’s most pressing issues, from abortion and health care to immigration and the economy.
Smith, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, caught the country’s attention, delivering her unusual, groundbreaking opinions with two service dogs by her side. She gave a nation hope, and in return, Americans gave her their trust.
The first book of the Change the World trilogy, Taming The Tida gives hope to those tired of contemporary political gridlock and looks to a brighter tomorrow.
Sharmin is pro-choice because she knows what it’s like to be born to a mother who doesn’t want you and a father who wants you for all the wrong reasons.
She supports the death penalty for pedophiles & believes that if we shine a light in the darkest corners of our society we can end this nightmare in our lifetime.
Sharmin believes we have a rare opportunity to address our societal issues so that we can have a better future. Victims of sexual abuse deserve justice and those who falsely accuse others of this crime deserve to be punished.
Recently, Sharmin is the author of “Taming The Tida,” a fictional life story where she wins the reality TV show called “Who Wants to Be President?.”
Though her book is fictional, she draws elements from her real-life experiences.
