interview with Cheri
Known for
Listening deeply and finding the story in every person, place or idea.
Random skill
I give great directions. Name a location and a 3-D city map pops up in my head, almost like an internal version of MapQuest. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well when I’m traveling.
Quirks
Friends always laugh at the “food facts” I’ll rattle off during a meal. That watermelon slice is loaded with lycopene!
Superpower
Writing and distilling. I love to take complex ideas or concepts and boil them down into simple structures with clear, evocative language.
Passion
Art, photography, music, dance, film and literature. I’m wild about the arts and applaud creative endeavors of every kind.
Achilles heel
Patience. I always want things to happen NOW.
Aspiration for next year
There’s a book I’ve been writing for ages. Time to finish it.
Belief
Take the leap and life will always meet you halfway.
People you admire
Joan Didion. Martha Graham. Morrissey. My friends and family.
