s we dive into this special Spring Issue of Cheryl Magazine, we celebrate the powerful voices of Black women through our "Women and Words" edition, with a spotlight on the remarkable work of Storehouse Voices. Led by the visionary Tamira Chapman, Storehouse Voices is creating a vital platform where Black stories are not only told but valued. In a world where too many forces try to erase or silence our voices, this imprint is a space where we can finally be heard, seen, and celebrated. This issue showcases stories curated by Black women, for Black women, because we deserve to see our truths reflected in the pages of history and literature. The importance of this focus cannot be overstated. We are living in a time when narratives about Black women are being distorted or even eliminated in mainstream discourse. It is more crucial than ever to ensure that we are the ones telling our own stories. As editor-in-chief of Cheryl Magazine, I am committed to making sure that our voices are never silenced. This magazine will always be a place where we not only find our stories, but also where we empower each other through them. Every word, every story shared in this issue is a declaration: we are here, we are powerful, and we will not be erased. As you read these pages, remember the profound impact that words and stories can have. They are more than just expressions; they are the tools we use to define ourselves and to reshape the world around us. The work featured in this issue is a testament to the resilience and brilliance of Black women, and it will continue to echo long after the pages are turned. Let these words remind you of your own power and the importance of your own story. Together, we rise, we speak, and we are seen. Warm regards,
Cheryl Dr. Cheryl Polote Williamson Editor-in-Chief
Closing Affirmations on the Power of Words and Stories: 1. My words hold power, and I use them to create the world I want to see. 2. Every story I share is an act of resistance and a step toward liberation. 3. I am the keeper of my own narrative, and my voice is valuable. 4. The words I speak shape my future and the future of those who come after me. 5. Through stories, we connect, we heal, and we transform our collective reality.

he magnitude of what you can create when you simply believe—that’s Tamira Chapman, indubitably. If you’re not acquainted, let me introduce you to a true maestro of words and voices. When you think about how the world is connected through stories, how one person’s truth can reverberate across continents and through generations, you think of Tamira. Every career move, every pivot, every leap she’s taken has been rooted in a singular, unwavering mission: to amplify, empower, and uplift voices, particularly those that have too often gone unheard. And now, in what may be her most audacious and God-led venture yet, Tamira is launching Storehouse Voices—a collaboration between the Crown Publishing Group and
Tamira, designed to combine tradition with innovation. Storehouse Voices provides authors with both editorial development and integrated promotional platforms to share their unique perspectives. Rooted in the success of the Women & Words program, which empowered thousands of aspiring Black women authors, the new imprint is designed to foster community and inclusivity while offering a dynamic range of fiction and nonfiction titles. "The Bible tells us that we are to go out into the world and bring all of the resources back into the storehouse for God’s good," Tamira shares. "And so we are voices that will be used for God's good in the community." This isn’t just publishing—it’s purpose-driven legacy building. Tamira’s journey to this moment has been anything but ordinary. Growing up, she was surrounded by women who didn’t just P. 1 1 Cheryl MAGAZINE

PORSCHA BURKE:
Advancing Black Women in Publishing by Kimberly Sweet Did you know that Black women with college degrees are the largest percentage of book readers? Yes, we appreciate a good story because we have so many good stories to tell. However, the transition from reading to writing hasn’t been easy. Porscha Burke is committed to helping more women cross that threshold. As the Associate Publisher of Storehouse Voices, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group at Penguin Random House, she is making space for Black stories and preserving our collective legacy. After a non-traditional path to publishing, Burke embraces using her God-given gifts to serve those who have something important to share with the world. “If your gift is to encourage, then encourage. If your gift is to prophesy, then prophesy. My gift is to get this punctuation right, then edit. And that’s where I am.” That place is an outgrowth of the incredibly successful Women and Words program, a collaboration between Storehouse in a Box Founder and CEO Tamira Chapman and Penguin Random House. In the experimental effort to educate women about the path to publication, Women and Words drew 10,000
registrants and yielded 350 completed manuscripts. Storehouse Voices aims to keep the words flowing and Burke knows just how to help. The Queens, New York native has spent her life at the feet of matriarchs who were readers at home, work and in between. “We are working women and so we have an hour and a half commute on a bus and on a subway every day. What are we doing in that time? We’re reading books.” Reading and editing are second nature for Burke. As a third grader, she made notes in the margins of Rolling Along, her classroom reader. “I edited that textbook. And to me, I didn’t know it was editing. I thought it was grading. I was doing to the textbook what my teachers did to me.” She also read beyond her grade level with early exposure to Phyllis Wheatley, Sojourner Truth, Mary McLeod Bethune, Toni Morrison and Langston Hughes. As a child of the 80s, Burke is not only reading classic black literature, she is also surrounded by Hip Hop culture. In the blocks surrounding her home you could find Q-Tip and A Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J, and Run DMC. “I am immersed in a landscape of Black poets,” she explains. “I’m not a rapper, far from it, but I am influenced by the power of Black storytelling. That’s very much who I am.” In pursuit of “the prize” of a college education, Burke made her own choices and was responsible for handling all the details. She first attended Manhattan Country School on the Upper East Side with “snooty people, pseudo intellectuals.” Then found a home at an all-girls boarding school just outside of the city. The school gave Burke everything she needed—a strong college prep curriculum, a music building, computer lab and large library. More importantly, she found her tribe. “Sisterhood and solidarity was real,” she said.

H ealing Through Words
veryone has a story, a unique narrative shaped by struggle, fear, depression, or trauma. But these stories are far from being downers; they have the power to bring forth a new day, sunshine, and success. Think of all the proficiencies we have accumulated over the years. Our stories are not just personal experiences but potential sources of inspiration and empowerment for others.
On the outside looking in, a picture is worth a thousand words. However, the story leading to the picture is probably worth a novel. Many look at photos of rich and famous moguls and gurus or even at simple posts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and think, I would be happy if I had that. These pictures of perceived happiness are only as good as the story behind them. The struggle or trauma behind a story should create an automatic response to seek help. However, in some cultures, the scarcity mindset often emphasizes competition over community support, and the need to be perfect or accepted can outweigh the fear of shame around reaching out for help. As we age, it is important to share the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, and the powerful stories we hold with generations, young and old, who can benefit from our perspectives. By sharing our stories, we illuminate our experiences and preserve traditions, helping to maintain our family history. Not only will sharing our stories, wisdom, and knowledge help those who reach out to us. Let’s not forget about the silent sufferers. “Just Write!” This is the philosophy I use when coaching my therapeutic writing clients. We all have a story; write it down and share it. Whether journaling, creating a memoir or manuscript, write down your thoughts, dreams, responses to life, and affirmations.
You can make your writing accessible in shared writing spaces such as online platforms, blogs, vlogs, and published works. Here are a few tips to inspire us to extend our reach, share our stories, and effectively provide support for others. Everyone faces challenges we may not be aware of and deals with them differently. Remember, silence is a response. Refrain from responding to an emotional outcry with comments or judgment. Judgment creates more pain and stigmatizes physical, emotional, or spiritual needs. Change your mindset. Resources, counseling, or therapists are no longer taboo. Some needs stretch beyond what we can address on our own. Encourage those in need to seek the appropriate help. Share your memoir with future generations. We cannot rely solely on schools or books to teach our history. Use family gatherings to establish new customs, share stories, connect with loved ones by reflecting on the past, and restore traditions. In closing, just write! Dr. Michelle Kindred is an author, editor, life coach, and educator. As a Professor of Education Leadership and Science Teaching Methods, she mentors and supports master's and Ph.D. scholars, helping teachers and administrators unlock their potential and give back to education. A natural-born giver and philanthropist, Dr. Kindred is also a passionate lover of Christ. P. 2 3 Cheryl MAGAZINE

Building Bridges in Publishing: Elevating Black Storytelling with Jenn Baker by Channing Curtis

ennifer Baker, or Jenn, is a true bibliophile. It’s clear from the overflowing bookshelves that fill the wall behind her in our Zoom interview to her artfully exuberant way of speaking. “My aunt, one aunt, taught me how to write and read before I went to kindergarten, and then I was just doing the writing thing. They would always support it—here's some books, here's some this, here's some notebooks, here's some crayons, here's some that… They just always nurtured and supported literacy,” Baker reflected. It’s what makes her new title as Editorial Director of Storehouse Voices the perfect fit for the self-proclaimed lifelong student of the written word. “It does feel like this is the beginning of a moment that can really do something to bring more people in, especially people of the Black and African Diaspora. So I'm very, very excited about that,” Baker remarked.
Storehouse Voices is Crown Publishing group’s new imprint, aiming to elevate Black voices through excellence in fiction and nonfiction alike. The imprint is partnering with Storehouse In A Box, LLC, a global merchandising company, recognized in 2022 as the eighth-fastest-growing woman-led enterprise worldwide. “I think we’re going to have a really big presence in Black spaces, and we’re going to develop strong partnerships. We’re thinking about the ways that we can partner and be present for these spaces—for the bookstores, for the literary communities that are building that with families across the nation,” Baker said. Baker, a native New Yorker and an accomplished editor, author, and podcast creator/host, joins a team of powerhouse Black women in publishing. The team includes award-winning entrepreneur Tamira Chapman, with whom she has partnered to develop Storehouse Voices. P. 2 5 Cheryl MAGAZINE
"I truly believe in writing as a safe space to keep stories that we need to have for decades to come and in the power of language to transform lives." -Chelcee
P.3322 Cheryl Cheryl MAGAZINE P.
Chelcee: I have an author who describes it as “putting medicine in candy.” So, you’re reading a book because it’s entertaining, and the plot is pacy, and the momentum is great. The voices are witty and characters are sexy, but at the heart of the book, there’s also a story about gentrification. So how does an author do that in a way that the audience is excited about the read, but also still hitting on issues we should be talking about? Tess: Not an easy feat at all. This makes me think of something else on your website. You said you knew early on the power of words to create community and honor stories often forgotten. Can you take us back to the moment you first realized that and how you came to that understanding? Chelcee: A lot of that is tied to my younger years, but I remember re-reading Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison my freshman year of college, around the time of hurricane Katrina. And I just remember the juxtaposition—a moment of seeing the hurricane happening on TV and reading Song of Solomon and recognizing the ties between our everyday lives and the stories that are created, along with the wisdom they can offer. That moment was powerful for me, allowing me to see what language can do and the conversations a book can spark. I recognized the power authors have. Great authors are also citizens of the world and society, and they use their voices to effect change. But my days as an activist also played a part in that understanding. I saw how literature could organize and how language could move people to organize and get things done. Tess: Isn’t it amazing the lasting imprint a book can have on you? I’ll never forget how reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor changed my life as a child. Chelcee: Certainly, a great storyteller can leave such an impression. Tess: You’ve published both fiction and nonfiction, from the more serious, hard-hitting works to upmarket commercial fiction titles, from the forthcoming book by attorney and civil rights leader Damario Solomon-Simmons to When the Music Hits by Amber Oliver and the NAACP Image Awardwinning Rootless by Krystle Zara Appiah. There is a lot of range between these titles, some vastly different stories. How involved are you in the selection process? Chelcee: There are times when you inherit an author through an agency or because an editor has left, so you’re assigned a book. But normally, every book editor is in charge of the books they acquire. So, a literary agent pitches a project to you, or you find an author you love and go after them. But you, the editor, have to love it first and foremost. From there, the book goes to the team, and you
explain what you read, why you loved it, and why it should be published. I'm very involved. I'm the first reader who says we should talk to the author or try to buy it. I look for things like great voice, plot, and intention to reach new readers, speaking about the world in the way that we will need to continue to speak about it for years to come. This is typically the case for every editor. It’s a personal taste process for sure, and you have to have an eye for great writing and great storytelling. Tess: Based on the wonderful things authors have said about you, I can imagine the majority of what you pitch is well received. Chelcee: Certainly. There are times, of course, when I love a thing, but it’s maybe not the right time for it or the right place. So, you learn as you grow through the industry that you’re not buying only for your taste. Tess: Although you’re not buying solely for your taste, are there topics you’re particularly passionate about that influence your decisions? Chelcee: This is a hard one because the answer is yes and no. Sometimes I won’t know I'm looking for something until I get it in my inbox. However, I love great prose, crossover fiction, and great voice. Sometimes I look for great style as well as a compelling topic. I want books with impact and emotional and cultural resonance that make me think about the world and our place in it. Tess: Speaking of authors, without giving away too much of your magic sauce, of course, how are you able to connect with authors such as Zakiya Dalila Harris (The Other Black Girl), Krystle Zara Appiah (Rootless), and therapist Dr. Joy Harden Bradford (Therapy for Black Girls), as well as activists like Rachel Cargle? You have also worked with the likes of Alice Walker and Ntozake Shange. Chelcee: I do think that meeting with the author early on is important to align the visions for the project. That author meeting gives me an opportunity to share more about what I do and what the book imprint does. It’s also a moment to actually connect with the author and share that I understand how we publish their book and what we need to do editorially, and it gives us a chance to see if we have the same vision for it. It’s such a vulnerable place to have your work edited and critiqued, so knowing how to do that in the right way is essential. We need to convey, “We all want to make the book the best it can be.” And I go into every author relationship like that. It’s really a relationship, building space where authors learn to trust you. But it’s a great experience and I’ve had several authors share that they feel I’ve helped them become better writers. P. 3 3 Cheryl MAGAZINE

EMPOWERING WOMEN FOR A WEALTHY FUTURE In a world where women are breaking barriers and achieving success in various fields, taking charge of our financial well-being is essential. Financial accountability is a key step toward economic empowerment. This article highlights the importance of financial accountability, offers insights from a financial professional, and shares effective strategies for protecting, accumulating, and preserving wealth— especially for women and business owners. 1. EMBRACE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY. Financial accountability entails being aware of your current financial situation and actively working towards your desired financial future. By taking control of your finances, you empower yourself to make informed decisions and secure a solid foundation for your financial well-being. 2. PROTECT YOUR WEALTH. • Personal Insurance: Safeguarding your health, life, and property through comprehensive insurance coverage provides financial security during unforeseen circumstances. • Emergency Fund: Creating an emergency fund is crucial to mitigate financial risks and ensure a safety net during unexpected events. • Estate Planning: Develop a thorough estate plan to protect your assets, ensure smooth succession, and minimize tax implications for those who will inherit the assets. 3. ACCUMULATE WEALTH. • Goal-Setting: Clearly define your financial goals and create a roadmap to achieve them. Whether it's saving for retirement, starting a business, or buying a home, setting specific and measurable goals will drive your financial progress. • Budgeting and Saving: Implement a budgeting strategy that aligns with your goals, track expenses, and prioritize saving. Consistent saving habits— even small, regular contributions—can yield significant long-term results. • Investment Strategies: Educate yourself on various investment options, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate, and develop a diversified investment portfolio aligned with your risk tolerance and timeline.
4. PRESERVE WEALTH. • Retirement Planning: Prioritize retirement planning, exploring retirement savings accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) or employer-sponsored 401(k) plans. Start saving early, take advantage of compound interest, and review your retirement strategy periodically. • Tax Efficiency: Employ tax planning strategies to minimize your tax liabilities, such as optimizing deductions, making tax-efficient investments, and contributing to tax-advantaged savings accounts. • Continuous Learning: Stay updated on financial trends, changes in regulations, and investment opportunities. Seek professional advice when necessary to adapt your financial plan and incorporate new wealth preservation strategies. 5. ADOPT BEST PRACTICES FOR BUSINESS OWNERS. • Separate Personal and Business Finances: Maintain distinct accounts, track business expenses diligently, and establish a sound bookkeeping system. • Build an Emergency Fund for Your Business: Set aside funds to cover unexpected costs or sudden disruptions in your business operations. • Succession Planning: Develop a succession plan to ensure the longevity and smooth transition of your business, preserving its value for the future. Taking accountability for your financial journey is an empowering step towards creating a brighter and more secure future. By adopting practices that protect, accumulate, and preserve wealth, you pave the way for financial independence. Remember, as women, we possess immense strength, resilience, and the ability to create extraordinary lives. Harness your financial power, unlock your potential, and celebrate the wonders that financial accountability can bring to your life. I have made a personal commitment to increase financial awareness and financial literacy, to help lay a foundation of wealth-building strategies for generations to come.

CULINARY COMFORT
Broth, Bisque, & Bouillon
A Hug in a Bowl You Never Knew You Needed by Shannon Skipper Green Jarrett I love taking the time to bring beautifully curated meals to my family’s table. It brings me such joy to seek out organic ingredients—or grow them in our home garden—and stock them in our pantry. Cooking has always been a creative outlet for me, a way to show love and nurture those dearest to me. The last year has been a difficult one for me, as it has been for so many of you. From family loss to moving back up north and overhauling my family home, finding ways to incorporate healthy meals hasn’t always been easy. If your 2025 has looked anything like mine, you may have had a cough, a sneeze, or simply felt the urge to shed a tear or two. In those moments, when my loved ones need a little pick-me-up, I always pull out the pot and make a big pot of soup. It’s the perfect cup of comfort to get us through any situation. As Executive Curator, Cheryl gives me the honor of sharing this passion with our readers by gathering recipes for each issue. Over the years, I’ve often called on my dear friend Heidi Pearson (food photographer extraordinaire) to help bring these issues to life. From cocktails to cuisine, she’s just as excited as I am about the aroma of a beautiful mirepoix or the wafting scent of duck fat sautéing in a pan. For years, we’ve cooked and eaten together—sometimes in person, other times over the phone. It’s simply what we do. So, what do we share? Soup! Whether it’s a beautiful Bok Choy soup, a hearty stock, or a “roasted loveless” concoction, there’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of goodness to soothe your soul. Truly, there’s no greater comfort than a spoonful of something homemade and nourishing when you need it most. Thank you, Heidi, for sharing your time and talent with our readers. I’m looking forward to seeing you in the garden soon—there’s no doubt we’ll have another pot simmering before we know it. ABOUT SHANNON SKIPPER GREEN JARRETT I love blending words and the heart of a story to make it come alive—because profound images can heal the heart. My passion for holistic wellness led me to create The Christian Apothecary, where I revive long-lost herbal remedies and food preservation. I love sharing what foods heal the body, but my ultimate joy is sharing the love of Jesus—He heals the soul. I live in Chicago with my husband, Daryl, our son, Joshua, our husky, Reign, and our four feathered babies—Stella, Ella, Cornbread, and Storm—who fill our home with joy and a few colorful eggs.
