From Forshaw St to empowering women: Sherry Dixon’s journey

Sherry Ann Dixon

Journalism may have always been in Sherry Ann Dixon’s bones, but it would be safe to say that she discovered this purely by mistake.

After working in marketing and public relations for several years, she left at the age of 30 to pursue what she then considered her passion – makeup artistry. Thirty-four years later, she is not only a well-established makeup artist, she is also a journalist, motivational speaker and lecturer.

It was while she was making up the faces of the likes of boxer Lennox Lewis and singers Barry White, Luther Vandross and Shirley Bassey that Dixon’s journalistic chops came to the fore.
