"Working on being vulnerable was a challenge I wanted to meet, and having Dr. Cherry with me on this journey was the difference between backing down and pushing forward. Her facilitation of the Dare to Lead session was masterful; her high level of emotional intelligence and mastery of the content created a safe and supportive environment to do the hard work. Work that is complicated when looking at vulnerability through an intersectional lens of masculinity and race – being a Black man."

Terrel White, MSA, MSW
