A proud Detroit native with an MBA from Florida A&M University’s School of Business and Industry, Sheri brings more than two decades of expertise in organizational leadership, brand strategy, and social impact innovation. Inspired by her mother, Patricia Johnson, whose own spiritual life brought her into the orbit of transformational teachers including Iyanla Vanzant and Les Brown, Sheri carries a legacy of impact that is both inherited and hard-won.

She shares life with her husband, Corey Crawley, and their two daughters, Laila and Aliya. In her free time she loves long walks in nature, traveling with her family, and finding the perfect bowl of Louisiana gumbo followed by a perfectly tart slice of key lime pie.
