"Some may have come to know me through my work as a keynote speaker or vocalist. In both instances I endeavor to use my voice to touch, inspire, motivate and heal. I am grateful for the gifts I have been given. I am grateful for the sacrifice of those who came before - for those who left a legacy of faith, service, power and hope. I am committed to honor that legacy. My credo is “leave a legacy."                            -Cherie Buckner-Webb
