Sheran is the Worldwide President and Chair of the Board of Trustees for Mothers’ Union, a global, women led, Christian membership movement that has been providing a support network for families since 1876. Professionally, she is a Physiotherapist who established and managed Physiotherapy Departments and trained Rehabilitation Therapists for the Ministry of Health in Guyana. She is married and is the mother of two children.

Sheran has been a member of Mothers’ Union since 1987 and for the last 20 years she has served Mothers’ Union with a high level of commitment in several leadership roles at Diocesan, Provincial and Worldwide levels. In the fulfilment of these roles, she visited over 20 countries for Mothers’ Union, primarily as the Lead for the Worldwide Parenting programme; passionately advancing women’s empowerment and leadership; campaigning for policies which strengthen family life; promoting peace and reconciliation within a diversity of cultures; and advocating for increased gender justice by working sensitively with communities. She was recognised by the Government of Guyana for her work nationally and internationally, and was presented with a National Award in 2020 – the Golden Arrow of Achievement.

Sheran has represented Mothers’ Union and the wider Anglican Communion at several top level gatherings including: the UN Commission on the Status of Women (USA 2021/2007); Abrahamic Faiths Initiative (Rome 2020); Global Networks of Religions for Children forum (Panama 2017); National Commission for the Family (Guyana 2012–2015); International Anglican Family Network (2013-2015); UNFPA/CARICOM Regional Parenting Education Forum (Antigua 2011); UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Events (Guyana 2004 – 2012); and has been called from time to time to advise Governments on matters relating to women and family and also on the reduction of violence in the home and community. She has partnered with NGOs and other agencies to establish sustainable initiatives which transform communities.

Attendance at the UN Commission on the Status of Women acted as a catalyst for her involvement in the development of social policies aimed at tackling injustices and poverty. She has actively promoted programmes for 16 Days of Activism and supported Global Initiatives in campaigns for advanced legislation and reinforced protocols to end violence.

As Worldwide President, Sheran has facilitated a key Global Theory of Change process, MULOA (Mothers’ Union Listens, Observes and Acts) which engaged over 200,000 members worldwide, and established 3 core desired outcomes, based on establishing strong relationships at individual, community and societal levels: a peaceful and safe environment which enables everyone to thrive; an end to gender injustice and an end to poverty through increased self-reliance. This has enabled her to develop a clear understanding of the importance of interreligious collaboration to achieve a culture of peace, reconciliation and harmony among families and communities. She is committed, through Mothers’ Union and the wider Anglican Communion, to facilitating sustainable change at all levels.
