In 2019 Sherrell attended a screening of the film King Gimp that PEAK co-hosted. She later joined the PEAK staff team as Assistant Director of the RSA Shift Transition Project as well as a Youth Trainer/Mentor. She strongly believes that everyone deserves an opportunity to be the best version of themselves and to be treated with dignity and respect. She notes that PEAK promotes advocacy, inclusion, and hope for those that have long felt excluded and downtrodden. As Sherrell puts it, “EVERY person deserves to feel loved, heard, respected and included regardless of age, sex, race, ability or disability. It is only when we come together as a whole that we can experience the true beauty of all that life has to offer.” Sherrell is grateful for her family and says that they are her strength when she is feeling weak. Her favorite quote is from Marianna Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?"
