ABOUT TLSA
Welcome to The LSherie Alert, LLC! July 5 marks 3 Years in business!!!
So what is The LSherie Alert (TLSA)?
The LSherie Alert, LLC started off as a joke. No…seriously. For years I’ve been the “go to girl” for events and venues and whatever else people wanted to know in Jackson, MS. I’m still not really sure how- I think it may be because I’m always involved in something. Nine times out of ten…I know about it, because I’m working it.
I started posting on Facebook and Twitter various events, activities, community issues and all kinds of stuff that I found interesting. Just an FYI to people in case they weren’t aware. I figured this would be an easier way to let people know what’s happening without them hunting me down. Everyone responded well to my postings. I knew this when I started receiving messages requesting a list of events in the area for the weekend- every weekend. I looked at those messages and was amazed by the number of inquires. Who did these people think I was? Didn’t matter, I had already dug a hole, might as well jump. So as a joke, I continued to post, but out of thin air tagged “The LSherie Alert, LLC” on the end. Not realizing that I just opened a can of opportunities, people begin asking questions about “The LSherie Alert, LLC .” They wanted to know what it was about and if there was a site. And that’s when the bulb lit over my head. My response was, “website coming soon!” I didn’t have a plan for it at all – it was a joke. But now, I had to do something with it because people noticed.
After that I continued to post positive quotes, free community events and activities in cities all over the U.S. tagging “The LSherie Alert, LLC ” on the end. I reminded people daily that a website was coming soon although I had no idea how and when. I had no plan. But one night I had a dream about interviewing good people- people who were positive influences in their communities and interviewing celebrities outside of my job with Denim Magazine. It was exciting. My slogan, “You don’t have to be famous to be relevant. Do something positive” came to me in that same dream. I had this feeling of “so this is what I’m supposed to do!” It was a great feeling. I talked it over with my family and spilled every detail from my dream. They loved it.
Maybe a few days after the dream I received a call from a college friend I hadn’t seen or spoken to in -I know about- 2 years. He had heard about The LSherie Alert, LLC and very matter-of-factly expressed that I needed a website and he was going to produce it. I was blown away. With The LSherie Alert, LLC website in progress, I received support from actresses and actor Melinda Williams, Vanessa Williams and Derrex Brady. Their encouraging words, along with my family and friends were all the motivation I needed to come up with a plan. And so I did.
Annoyed by negative press and the constant focus on negative issues, I decided that The LSherie Alert, LLC would be all things positive and supportive. If the product is good and not harming anyone, why not support it? Why not talk about it? I had no idea how this would work, but I figured – why not just include everything I already do. So with that being said, the site was built to include features or interviews with celebrities and non-celebs on positive things they’re doing in their communities and exposure for independent music artist (Indie Music Challenge) and poets (Poetic Whispers). Because I multitask so well, I love the expression, “killing more than one bird with one stone.” I decided to create a membership that would give more exposure to businesses (big or small) with a complete package. Advertisement was later added.
The LSherie Alert, LLC launched July 5, 2012, one month before my birthday. The response of the launch was…well I was speechless. It was so amazing how many people actually paid attention to what I was doing and had been preaching for the last 2 months. The amount of “Congrats,” and “best wishes,” and “Awesome site,” and “wow, I’m proud of you,” was overwhelming, and still is.
All I want to do with The LSherie Alert, LLC is make a difference. Be the voice for positive influences and connecting people with each other in support of one another. Together we’re strong…together we’re successful. Goal for The LSherie Alert, LLC is to push positive people and positive issues to the forefront of our society increasing support and welcoming creativity.
“You don’t have to be famous to be relevant. Do something positive!” – L. Sherie Dean
