Kierra Sheard’s Bold Right Life

November 21, 2008 · Print This Article

The daughter of one of the founding members of legendary gospel group the Clark Sisters, Kierra Sheard, has grown up in powerhouse gospel.

At a very young age, “little Kiki” was joining her mother, Karen Clark-Sheard, on stage to belt out verses.

But that young “Kiki” is now a woman on her own. Adding even more rhythm to her gospel tunes, and subtracting her childhood nickname, Kierra Sheard has released her fourth album, “Bold Right Life.”

“It’s the name of my youth organization, which is a non-profit organization in Detroit,” Sheard said of the album’s title. She explained to EUR’s Lee Bailey that a recent Bold Right Life Youth Conference in Detroit this past summer, she was inspired by the young people attending.

“A lot of young people were blessed and I’m just really aiming for Bold Right Life to be a movement,” she said. So she decided to share the moniker on her latest disc. “With me wanting it to be a movement, I decided to attach it to my album. The record company thought it was a powerful movement. [It] stands for boldly living right.”

The title “Boldly Living Right” refers to the bible verse Colossians 3: 1-6 “We are dead to the things of this world … boldly living right, getting ready for life.” Sheard said that in her travels she’s noticed that young people tend to back down when it comes to representing Christ in their everyday lives.
