Sheryl Renee is a second-generation performer who has been entertaining audiences since she was a child. Raised in a singing family, it wasn't until she turned 18 and revealed her incestuous past that she truly found her "voice." This would cost her the relationships that most hold dearest, but it set her on a path of assertion and self-discovery that continues today. She credits her sanity to the love of God, and the gift of song. For 28 years, this entertainer and entrepreneur has enjoyed a versatile career which includes being a professional vocalist, actress, producer, playwright, children's safety advocate and most important, mother. Sheryl has some impressive career highlights, including singing the National Anthem when President Barack Obama signed the Economic Stimulus bill on February 17, 2009. Sheryl has been in three-dozen theatrical productions including work with Bonfils Theater, Atlanta's famed Jomandi Productions, the Walden Family Playhouse, and lead roles in shows like Beehive the 60's Musical, Bessie's Blues, Dreamgirls. She also was the original "Power Woman" in the Denver production of Menopause the Musical. Sheryl's portrayal of Hattie McDaniel in the one-woman play Hi Hat Hattie won her the 2004 Denver Post Ovation Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Sheryl has co-written and starred in the hit musicals, Sistas & Storytellers, Live at the Rossonian, and Music of Freedom; An Homage to Ira & George Gershwin. Sheryl is a session/jingle vocalist, who has been recorded on more CD demos and commercial projects than she can quantify. She produced her first solo project Sheryl Renee and her Salute to the Legends and the acapella Gospel CD, One Voice. Sheryl is a Children's Safety advocate and owner of The Black Swan Private Event House. She has three daughters: Leah, Rena & Ameerah, and three grandchildren: Emani, Jeanae, Emiya, and her singing dog Ella!

Jolene Reynolds has triumphed over a series of life events that would cause anyone to question his or her place in life. Now, today, Jolene is helping to save lives, as a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse.

Jolene has triumphed over a childhood of repeated abandonment. By the age of 9, Jolene says, "all I knew was that my own mother and three fathers didn't want me. I became a rebellious runaway, trying for many years to run away from me." She spent time at Excelsior, and graduated from Excelsior High School. In 1999, when pregnant with her daughter, Jolene decided to change her life. She graduated with an Associate of Science in Nursing from Glendale Community College in Glendale, Calif. Jolene then became licensed by the state of California as a Registered Nurse. This February, she graduated from a residency program at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles and now currently enjoys being a healing force in the lives of families who are struggling with cancer. Jolene also is beginning to work with high-risk adolescents in a violence and gang prevention mentorship program called the Youth Mentoring Connection. "I have to make sense of events that I went through, and my experiences put me in a very unique position to relate and help kids like me." Jolene and her 10-year-old daughter live in Glendale and Jolene is overjoyed to now be an excellent role model for her daughter. Excelsior Youth Center is proud to name Jolene Reynolds, an Excelsior alumna, one of the 2010 Triumphant Women.
