Seasons change, and there is always a rainbow after the storms of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Cheryl Williams is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at cherylw27@aol.com.

Six years later, her world was turned upside down after her mother suffered a massive stroke.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">During those uncertain times, music, writing, and poetry helped her cope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">As a teenager, whenever she wasn\u2019t caring for her mother, Cheryl spent her free time writing and directing short plays as a form of entertainment for the children in her neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">She enjoyed singing in the church and school choir, while also performing publicly as a soloist in concerts and talent shows. As a result of her mother\u2019s illness and her responsibility to help care for her, Cheryl was inspired to pursue nursing as a way to help others heal; the same way writing and music helped her find a path to healing. She resides in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Contact:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Cheryl
