Founder & President

Sheryl founded Women Supporting Women in Middle TN in 2019. She wanted a place where women felt safe to come and be themselves. A place where they could meet new people and enjoy time away from whatever might be going on in their world.

In 2024 Sheryl moved our group from just a social group to a non-profit so that we can expand our reach.
