Q. Is there anything else you want to share?

A. There is a lot of misinformation and we are here to set it straight. It has been a roller coaster ride, not easy, but fun. You need to have patience.

Sherry started with Passion Parties in 1999 at the age of 28 to earn a little extra money to make ends meet. She was a single mom of three with a low paying job, and it took every bit of money she made to provide for her kids. She attended a corporate event a year later and left wanting to build an empire. And she did just that. Sherry has built a dedicated and growing team and is one of the Million Dollar Club members with Passion Parties.

Q. How has making $1,000,000 changed your life?

A. I had dropped out of high school at age 15, had three kids by the time I was 20, and was a single mom, so I always had to take lower paying jobs. Money had always been a limiter in my life. Making the money I make now has given me the freedom to do for my kids the things I never got to experience. I put all my kids through college with no student loans and have been able to buy each of my kids and my mom a house.
