Aside from being called a fashionista, Sherrie Gearheart established Live Out Loud Charity (LOLC), a non profit organization focused on suicide awareness, and prevention through core character development. She established this organization one year after losing her childhood friend to suicide. He was only 19 years of age. Since 2010, LOLC has reached approximately 60,000 individuals. In 2010, Sherrie and the LOLC team orchestrated Live Out Loud Charity’s first annual fashion show. She is proud to have all sizes, heights, ages, and ethnicities in her shows. This year’s LOLC fashion show theme is Love the Skin You’re In. As a QPR Certified Gatekeeper she gives seminars to adults of all ages, teaching them the signs of suicide, and how to intervene to stop this preventable cause of death. For our youth she teaches self esteem courses. As a TruthMedia Worldwide mentor and USA Education Committee Representative, she counsels teens/youth all over the world. She is the reigning American Image National Miss 2010 and the NISP Elite Queen. These titles allow her new and exciting avenues to share the LOLC message. As a monthly featured columnist in Action Magazine Ms. Gearheart writes articles on self esteem, combating depression, and suicide intervention. Tiara Magazine has joined on board as a sponsor featuring tips on raising self esteem.
