Sherri G
onzales
Founder And CEO
According to Sherri Gonzales, she’s simply a stay-at-home mom trying to make a difference. But to those that know her, she’s a woman on a mission to ensure that girls today grow into confident women tomorrow.
Gonzales is a visionary, entrepreneur, competitive athlete, and loving her to NFL linebacker DJ Williams and two daughters. In 2007, launched the brand All Grown Up (AGU) to revolutionize the way teen girls transition into womanhood. Now, taking her mission one step further, Gonzales has developed a convenient feminine hygiene kit. Designed to reduce embarrassing moments, the “AGU kit” provides young ladies with the necessary items needed for their first menstruation experience. While also benefiting women of ALL ages during their cycle, the “AGU kit” provides parents, guardians and teachers with a tool to educate girls about their bodies and the exciting changes happening in this new stage of life.
The middle child of three, Gonzales was born in Sacramento, California to a teenage mother. She and her siblings were raised by their stepmother and grandmother but able to see their
mother on weekends. While growing up and into her body, her step-mom eventually explained what a pad was and how to use it, but her grandmother, whom she lived with full time by age 15,never had those kind of conversations with her and therefore Gonzales remembers not having enough information to prepare her for such a life changing experience.
It’s why, now, Gonzales and her team are dedicated to developing a brand that changes the way our culture acknowledges this new entry into womanhood.Gonzales is currently working on making “AGU kits” available to troubled teens through non-profit and government funded organizations across the country.
Gonzales lives in Denver, Colorado with her two daughters and enjoys traveling to watch her son’s NFL games and activities with her daughters. She has instilled the importance of giving back to her kids and is grateful for what life has granted her. For years Gonzales has teamed up with a local radio station to provide Christmas gifts for the homeless. She has sponsored kids to help them when they go off to college and supports cheerleading groups by helping them with equipment, uniforms and going to camp.
