Sherri has received recognition for her work covering AIDS in the city of Birmingham. Her piece “AIDS from Alabama to Africa” received a national award from the National Association of Black Journalists. As a reporter she is dedicated to telling the stories that touch people’s lives in a series of special reports called “Faith in Action.” The series launched after Sherri took a mission trip to Arusha, Tanzania and split from her mission team to cover the story of a missionary doctor in Bomet, Kenya who says she was miraculously healed after testing positive for HIV. The story of what happened at Tenwek Hospital became Sherri’s first Faith in Action story in 2007.

Family drives Sherri’s passion to give back to the community. Sherri is proud of the work she does at CB2 42 that impacts the lives of people in our community. She has worked on several special reports at CBS 42 that have received journalism awards. She is most proud of the 2014 EMMY award for “Hope and Honor: A tribute to four girls.” The documentary follows sculptor Elizabeth MacQueen’s making of the “Four Spirits” monument in Birmingham’s Kelly Ingram Park.
