About us! ❥

Hey everyone! I’m Sherrell, proud mama to three incredible daughters who keep me on my toes! Whew! My eldest, Ariella aka "Ari," is 11 years old. Her name means Lion of God, and she’s been my inspiration from day one of motherhood. Then there’s my little lion heart, Leilani, or "Leilei," who's 8 years old. Fearless and determined, she keeps me feeling young (and maybe a bit gray-haired!). And last but not least, there's Zeniyah, aka "Zen," my playful lion cub who came into the world 11 days late and ready to assert herself.

Zen Lion, our family venture, symbolizes both calm and storm, reflecting the essence of my three lionesses.

Now, about this mama lion: I’m a serial entrepreneur! Since I was young, I’ve been exploring non-traditional ways to make a living. At 33, I’ve never lasted more than a year working for someone else. I decided long ago to be my own boss, and after many trials and tribulations, I’ve found my passion.

People often ask how I achieved success within the first 6 months of launching Zen Lion in October 2019. The truth is, it’s been years in the making. I studied early learning and childcare, and ran a successful Dayhome for over 5 years, learning valuable lessons in money management and marketing along the way.

I also ventured into network marketing, learning invaluable lessons in effective marketing and the importance of authenticity.

For over a decade, I worked at a nightclub door, finding balance between childcare and adult conversation while honing my business skills and networking abilities.

Through it all, I’ve learned that authenticity is key. People want to connect with businesses they can relate to. I’m grateful for the relationships I’ve built and the support of those who choose to shop small. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
