World Women Works” reading series, produced by RHYTHMCOLOR Associates.

It premiered with a 12 performance run at the historic Wow Cafe Theatre (the oldest women’s and transgender theatre in the Universe. This performance led Cherie to be honored by The Core 4 P.O.W.

She since then has also had the pleasure of performing at the world famous Nuyorician Poets Cafe and the Shabazz Center in Harlem. Recently the show was well received in her home town Atlanta, GA at The Porter Sanford Performing Arts Center. “The Diary of an Afro Goddess” was written in honor of her ancestors and Black America.
