As part of our joint Storytelling to Build Medical Trust project, Cheryl describes her response to years of negligence, and how she feels to finally be getting quality care.

The founder of a nonprofit, From Roots to Wings, Cheryl continues to be a strong voice for the underserved and underrepresented to ensure that everyone gets access to information, services and opportunities.

Cheryl was interviewed by Kamal Oliver, Re-Entry Coordinator for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and an active member of Everyday Boston’s Bridge Project. She was photographed by Jaypix Belmer.
