About the Founder

Award-Winning Author and TV Host Cherise A. Williams should not be here, and that is exactly why she is.

A massive heart attack survivor, Cherise knows what it means to face the moment no one saw coming and choose to rise anyway. She died for 90 minutes. She knows what difficult looks like. She knows what pain feels like. 

When you look at her, you are looking at someone who was cold ice. What you see today is what happens when God has the final word. She knows what it feels like to come back to life. That moment did not break her. It revealed her.

Today she stands strong and fights against heart disease so others do not have to stand alone. Starting over was not easy, but it was good for her that she was afflicted.

Before the world knew her name, she was on stage as a principal dancer, in front of the camera as a professional model, and on screen as an actress. Every role gave her discipline, presence, and the understanding that every performance is a choice to show up fully.

She is the variable no one accounted for. Tell her no; that is exactly what she is looking for.

She wrote one book, but that one book was a seed and it multiplied into everything you see today.

She does not despise small beginnings. Every seed planted, every quiet season, every step forward that no one witnessed was preparation for what is coming. God gave her a great name. 

She may not have as many titles as others, but titles do not determine her destiny. The wealthy shall seek her favor. She does not wait for permission. She expands.

Cherise writes to heal, speaks to transform lives, and builds to leave a legacy. As a Transformational Leader with over 16 years of speaking and mentoring experience, she builds transformative media that moves people from inspiration to execution.

Through her books, her platform, and her growing body of initiatives, she invests in high school students and the next generation of emerging leaders who are ready to step into everything they were created to be. She helps children and families step into their authority, govern their health, and nurture themselves from the inside out. She knows how to course correct with a smile. Intimidation is putty in her hands. She keeps her eyes moving forward no matter what.

Lack of support has never concerned her, because greatness does not chase, it attracts. As a woman of wisdom, she understands the power of alignment and chooses carefully who and what she moves with.

She believes in herself, in her brand, and in everything God has placed in her hands. That belief is not arrogance, it is clarity. When something does not align with the assignment, she has no problem saying no. Her yes means something because her no is real.

She moves through the world with the confidence of a woman who has always known her worth. She is a daddy's girl who never forgot what it feels like to be someone's everything. 

Named after Stevie Wonder’s timeless classic, "My Chérie Amour," she was loved before she could speak, chosen before she could walk, and destined before she knew her own name.  

Along the way, God placed the right voices in her path and she was wise enough to receive them. In her first acting class with Tasha Smith at TSAW, she was told: Be more receptive. She took that correction and it changed her posture forever.

In his Commercial Life Class at Truthful Acting Studios, Kevin O'Neill declared: You were born to be in front of the camera. Her speechwriting mentor Janet Stovall told her she is not just a speechwriter, she is the voice to the world. Fellow speechwriting mentor Bob Lehrman encouraged her to use her poetry, unlocking a layer of her voice she had not fully released. 

Dr. Pam Perry, the Queen of Media, confirmed the assignment: You belong behind the camera speaking. Dr. Cindy Trimm spoke prophetically over her life: You are going from overlooked to overflowing. 

Her mother, her first covering, laid the foundation long before any of them: Don't look back. You will touch many women's lives when you share your story. Cherise received every word. She acted on every word. The doors have not stopped opening.

Cherise loves transforming lives on stage, on the page, on air, and in print. She nurtures the powerful YOU from the inside out.

What looks quiet is never still. Everything she touches is being built with intention. Whether you found her through her words, because when she speaks, heaven is speaking, her work, or simply because something led you here, you are in the right place.

Her best chapter has not been written yet.

 Neither has yours.
