On May 14, 2022, a "domestic terrorism Attack", as the Incident was (correctly) described by U.S. President Joseph R. Biden, was inflicted at the East Side Buffalo Community location of a TOPS Friendly Markets store. Ten (10) Black and African American victims who had been merely shopping for groceries, or loading groceries into vehicles, or just walking nearby the establishment's front doors, were mercilessly gunned down. Several more persons were seriously injured, though a few persons, who hid at various points inside the store at the start of the attack, managed to escape injury.

Sherry Sherrill has been a Community Activist since childhood, when, at Age 11, her mother took her campaigning door-to-door in their University District, City of Buffalo Neighborhood, to petition for residents assistance in an Effort to try and block the city's (then) Mayoral Administration from converting an abandoned General Motors Plant, near the family's residence, into an Abandoned Vehicle Auto 'Pound'. The campaign was (very) successful, and was also (greatly) appreciated by neighbors, in the Buffalo Community. 

Prior to that timeframe, at Age 8, Sherry was enrolled, by her mother,  in Buffalo Neighborhood Park Cleanup Efforts that were being conducted nearby the family's (then) Kensington Avenue apartment. Subsequently, her mother encouraged Sherrill to participate in another (personal) campaign, to ensure that the County of Erie did not make dire cuts to its funding of the (Westminster Avenue) Neighborhood Branch Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, which was in the near vicinity of the family's (then) Northeast Buffalo home. Although, in a later decade, a city Charter School would claim the library for the (sole) utilization of its elementary students, Sherrill's mother's initiative to preserve the library was (very) successful. It did not close, nor did it suffer the loss of its (municipal, or regional) funding, 

Back during the mid-1990s, Sherrill became one of the (reported) earliest proponents of the importance of the City of Buffalo's, and the County of Erie's, Minority Community Residents utilizing the (then) emergent technology that became referred to, decades later, as the World Wide Web. Her Black Issues of Buffalo [BIB]™ website was hosted, on the (network) infrastructure of State University of New York's, University at Buffalo's [UB], Western New York Regional Institute Network [WNY/RIN]. It was administered by UB's Institute for Local Growth and Regional Governance. Accessible to the general public, all across the world, via The Buffalo Free-net, Sherrill's bulletin board service [BBS] Initiative was one of the Buffalo-Niagara Region's (pioneering) Minority Individual-led, Internet-based, 'digital divide' Projects. Moreover, BIB™'s "Original Black Business Database [OBBD]™”, was also one of the region's (earliest) examples of an online business directory, and displayed local and regional small business companies, and Houses of Faith, owned and/or led by Minority Individuals.

Also during the mid-1990s, Sherrill was the author of the "Internet Position Paper", adopted at a Black and African American Community Convention conducted by the Community Voice Organization, and which Black Community Economic Development Initiative, was led by the Honorable Charley H. Fisher, III. In later years, Mr. Fisher III would become elected an "At-Large" member of the City of Buffalo's Common Council. Held inside Canisius College's Koessler Center, the Community Convention's platform facilitated Sherrill's urging the East Side Buffalo Community to do what was needed to prevent minority residents being "left behind" the nation's (then) race to embark upon the (global) Information Superhighway, and that the community capitalize on the Internet's (then) developing World Wide Web. Sherrill's "Internet Position Paper" was (unanimously) accepted by the Convention's attendees, and was merged into a (larger) comprehensive Community Vision Document.

By year 2000, Sherrill's Digital Equity Focus led her to 'spearhead' Community Technology Resource Centre [CTRC], a nonprofit she founded, while working (full-time) as a Deputy Sheriff Officer, at County of Erie's Sheriff's Department. CTRC was launched to promote, and to establish, (free) inner-city neighborhood-based Community Computing Labs. The first CTRC was based inside Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority's: Kenfield Homes Development. The location was adjacent to the agency's: Langfield Homes Development. The Center furnished (free) Computer and Internet Access to the youths, and the adult residents, of both those Family Public Housing communities. The CTRC also furnished multimedia 'edutainment' After-school Programming, and was supported, in large measure, by a generous (in-kind) Software Donation from The Microsoft Foundation.

In 1984, and after leaving Morgan State University, in City of Baltimore (MD), early, Sherrill moved to New York City, and to follow her long-held dream of a (professional) career in the Music Industry. A New York State Regents Diploma Graduate of the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts [B.P.S. 192], Sherrill had also studied Violin, Clarinet, Voice, Music Theory, and the Harpsichord. On a side-note, while at Performing Arts, Sherrill was the (sole) student in the (entire) school, whom was offered and furnished access, to the school's (antique) Harpsichord, and on which she practiced weekly, in conjunction with her (other) academic Studies. Also at BAVPA, it was not uncommon for she to be called upon, by the school's (various) Music Instructors, to accompany other Buffalo Area high school's students, as these (latter) peers pursued scholarships, beauty pageants, talent competitions, and other (similar) local and regional Youth Opportunity-concerned contests. Sherrill's (own) Piano Music Instructor, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Venator (deceased), was an (accomplished) Piano Virtuoso, and an (esteemed) graduate of Eastman School of Music. After learning Sherrill had taught herself to play the piano, Mrs. Venator kindly offered to become Sherrill's Instructor. Sherrill also sang in the school’s choirs, and played in several of its (varsity) bands.

While living on the Island of Manhattan (NYC), Sherrill was selected in a city-wide Talent Competition, and traveled to Europe to record some of her (Original) songs, as well as (to) compose additional music. In City of Berlin, she resided in a (borrowed) cold water 'flat' that was situated between The Berlin Wall, and The Brandenburg Gate. She composed several songs on her own, and co-wrote more, with her German Producers: Mr. Gena 'Gena B. Good' Wernik, and Mr. John 'Baron' Baron. These Works, include(d): "Thank You, Darlin' ", a tribute to her (cherished) mother, and "Imagine (That)", an homage to her (youngest) sibling, who was born with Sickle Cell Anemia.

Also during her stay in West Berlin, Sherrill was (greatly) affected by numerous domestic terrorism Incidents, inflicted by White Racist Supremacists, and their (affiliated) Extremist Hate Groups, and during which several Turkish Immigrant Individuals, and (their) families, were slain. These killings were (largely) inflicted while the victims, including babies, and senior citizens, were asleep in their beds inside their residences, throughout, and nearby, Berlin. The desperately violent episodes convinced Sherrill of the necessity that she: (a) Be knowledgeable of geopolitical developments, (b) Exhibit compassion and empathy concerning persons seeking refuge in foreign native land(s), and (c) Be confident that a High(er) Moral Authority, i.e. God, does in fact exist.

All of the songs comprising Sherry Sherrill’s “Tree Of Life” Song Collection were composed by she, including “Greater Refuge [O LORD]", the latter which Work contains a sample, at its introduction and bridge sections, that was written by The Apostle Robert L. Sanders, Sr. The sample is used by permission.

'LIL HERB' OUT NOW ⏳: gherbo.lnk.to/LilHerb

BOOKINGS: Jacqueline.ReynoldsDrumm@caa.com

“It's like finding your roots, getting in touch with your old self and that hunger you had when you first started, the energy that made the world fall in love with Lil Herb,” says G Herbo of his new project, Lil Herb. Named after the moniker he broke through with 15 years ago, it’s both an album and a time machine. After helping invent and globalize Chicago drill, launching the Swervin Through Stress nonprofit, and scoring his biggest hit “Went Legit” off his 2024 mixtape Greatest Rapper Alive (13M direct-to-fan streams), Herbo is now reaching back and looking forward. He recorded 100 songs over a year, revisited old favorites, and returned to Chicago studios with his day-ones. The result blends soulful No I.D.-crafted hip hop, menacing drill, and a rare Wyclef Jean feature—plus a reunion with the late Juice WRLD.  “I'm at the finish line… I'm in full control of my destiny now. I've finished the marathon I started when I was 16, when I was Lil Herb.”
