A TV (Girls, Law & Order, Sex & the City, E.R., Sopranos and more), Broadway, Off-Broadway and film (the Uncle Buck mom) veteran, Bromka starred as eight of the First Ladies in The Presidents for PBS. Acting and writing workshops, including “Acting on Camera”,  “Making Your Monologue Hot!” and "Exploring Intention through American Sign Language", taught at over 160 colleges and high schools, are also available as part of a residency. Extensive references, interviews, and residency information on her website. Theaters, performing art centers, colleges, museums, clubs, fundraisers. Over 300 venues include the Smithsonian, the Cerritos Arts Center, the Long Arts Center, the Straz, and theaters and colleges nationwide.

With a unique blend of practical strategies, inspirational stories, and interactive activities, participants will gain valuable insights and skills to enhance their financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and wealth-building capabilities. My expertise in addressing unconscious biases and societal conditioning will help participants identify and overcome limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and other barriers to success.

Through this workshop, participants will:

• Engage in thought-provoking discussions on unconscious beliefs and societal conditioning that impact women's perceptions of wealth and success.
• Identify and address limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and unconscious biases that hinder economic empowerment.
• Develop resilience strategies, goal-setting techniques, and action plans to overcome challenges.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be empowered with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to break through barriers and achieve economic independence. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment that fosters growth, connection, and collective success. Join me on this transformative journey, and let's unlock the full potential of women together!

“Sheryl’s performance as Eleanor Roosevelt exceeded all our expectations; we can’t wait to have her back again! Her portrayal is done in a very thoughtful, creative, and interesting manner that draws you into her world. The performance would appeal to all age groups. Thank you Sheryl!” ~ Donna Weiss, Stoneham Historical Society

“We gathered together again for our first meeting, luncheon, and program on September 10,2018. We truly appreciate the performance by Sheryl Faye. Thank you Sheryl for the entertaining and enlightening re-enactment of Abigail Adams. She is designated as the “First Second Lady and Second First Lady of the United States.” Her life has been the most documented of our First Ladies. We can get an accurate glimpse of history by the letters she wrote. The costumes and historical information were very thorough”. ~Women’s Club of Woodbury CT

 “Ms Faye captivated the entire audience, including the youngsters. She made us laugh and she definitely brought tears to our eyes when Helen’s teacher finally broke through to the deaf and blind girl with her sign for “water”. Ms Faye captured the moment of Helen Keller’s awakening vividly and realistically. We look forward to having Sheryl Faye return to Lancaster with more performances about historical women in the future. A true professional, Sheryl was easy to work with from beginning to end. We cannot recommend her highly enough as an artist and performer.” ~ Karen Silverthorn, Assistant Director, Thayer Memorial Library, Lancaster.

Not all suffragists were Free Lovers by any means; but several prominent Free Love advocates like Victoria Woodhull were strong supporters of women’s rights, so the reputation stuck. This enjoyable talk about the 19th century battle between Free Love and prudery reveals a fascinating side of American society, which affected the struggle for women’s right to vote. The talk is rated PG-13.

Audience Feedback:

 "This unknown suffragist history was enlightening and entertaining. Numerous members' feedback was very positive. One long-standing member said this was the best lecture we've ever had!"- Joan Gill, Chair of Speaker Programs, Canadian Women's Club of San Francisco

"Joe Miller was recently invited by the Sonoma Valley Historical Society and presented his research on the history of the suffragists to a very receptive audience. His presentation was most informative as well as entertaining. He engaged the audience by showing how much of this subject has been completely forgotten or misunderstood."- Peter G. Meyerhof, Historian

Joe C. Miller published an article in The History Teacher, titled “Never a Fight of Woman Against Man: What Textbooks Don’t Say about Women’s Suffrage” (2015). There he argued that college textbooks include many errors and myths about women’s history.
