She started Sharia's Closet, which opens its door to those in need
Shamine Linton was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in the rural town of Manchester, Jamaica. From an early age, she was acquainted with the fundamental value of community.
She persevered through middle school and graduated from Patrick Henry High. She became a dental assistant, then worked in collections for 10 years, later finding comfort in the career path of child development. That charity led to Sharia’s Closet, a nonprofit that provides free emergency clothing to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship or crisis. In 2013, Linton started collecting clothes on the patio of her home, and Sharia’s Closet — named after her daughter — was born.
In addition to these outfits, a wardrobe bag includes age-appropriate personal hygiene items. Inside every bag is a handwritten, loving note to each client, an affirmation of caring and value they may never have received before.
