December 15, 2015We hired Sistah WIllie Ruth for a Company Christmas party. Although it was quite packed with activities and children, she did a wonderful job of entertaining all the ages. She was funny and brought an awesome message of Christ. She was easy to work with and very professional. I would recommend her to any one looking for good clean fun!! Love this lady!

March 11, 2014Sherre Bishop is an exceptional artist. Her performance of Sistah Willie Ruth Johnson "From the Motherland to Promiseland" at our Black History program was superbly insightful. It was spiritually exhilarating, boldly inspirational, and enlightening. It raised the consciousness of our youth and their inquisitive nature of how a people of color used song and encoded language to catapult a quest for freedom. My God! We laughed, cried, and edified every expression of her dramatization. It was so powerful, our hearts were penetrated and our minds were forever reminded of where we had come from, providing a greater longing for an even better tomorrow. Her work is a magnificent God-movement ministry! THIS IS A MUST SEE PERFORMING ARTS MINISTRY!!

June 21, 2013"Sherre Bishop (AKA Sistah Willie Ruth Johnson) was the featured reader (and volunteer) for the Metropolitan Nashville Education Association's 2012 Read Across America Celebration at the Parthenon in Nashville, TN. As Sistah Johnson, she captivated a delighted audience of hundreds of inner-city elementary students with her medicine of humor. Along with her performance, she taught a valuable lesson on the importance of reading, dreaming and setting high expectations. Sherre is a Nashville treasure who will bring a smile and an out right belly laugh to any audience lucky enough to experience her performance."
