As a philanthropist, Sharitta has endowed a scholarship at her high school alma mater, School of the Arts. The Change Agent Scholarship annually assists two seniors from underrepresented populations in their pursuit of post- secondary education in STEAM, education, or human services.
Additionally, she contributes annually to support ALANA students wishing to participate in Rochester Institute of Technology’s Alternative Spring Break program, which gives college students the opportunity to engage in direct service with communities around the world. At the YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County, there is a room named in her grandmother’s honor, Ella’s Room, for her support of the Adopt-a-Room program, which provides women with a safe space to begin their transition toward healing and a renewed start on their lives.
A 2018 ATHENA Young Professional Finalist and 2014 RBJ Top Forty Under 40 inductee, Sharitta believes in the spirit of servanthood and serves as a volunteer in various organizations. Currently, she is a member of the Friends of School of the Arts Board and an advisor for the YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County’s Equity Through Philanthropy Committee.
