Dreams are powerful things. They can motivate us, inspire us, and give us hope. They are the things that keep us going even when things seem impossible. Dreams can take us on incredible journeys and help us achieve things we never thought possible. One person who embodies the power of dreams is Cheryl Williams. Despite facing numerous obstacles, Cheryl has pursued her dreams with unwavering determination and perseverance. She may not have had any prior modeling experience, but that did not stop her from walking the runway during New York Fashion Week 2023. She went on to represent the entire South as a contestant in World’s Top Model 2023.
Despite dropping out of high school in her sophomore year, Cheryl strongly desired to attend an Ivy League college and study neuroscience, which she accomplished through the Harvard Distance program. She also aspired to become an author, sharing a book cover with Les Brown. Cheryl pursued her dream of becoming a supermodel and walked the runway at New York Fashion Week, with invitations to Milan and London fashion weeks in 2024. She established a non-profit organization called fundfc.org, which has donated over 100,000 educational supplies to foster care youths. Despite her shyness and fear of people, Cheryl also gained the confidence to win a beauty pageant and became a public speaker. She traveled throughout the United States sharing her story and became a life coach to help those with trauma. Cheryl also wanted to volunteer for various causes, have children who do well in school and meet her soulmate, whom she married two years ago. Finally, she finished owning a house in cash by flipping houses. Although she has faced many challenges, Cheryl has completed all her aspirations, except for finding funding to tell the stories of resilient women. Despite people laughing at her for her ambitions and dealing with depression and trauma, Cheryl encourages others not to give up and to have faith.
Her goal is to provide sponsorship to fund film projects with a budget of 2 million dollars, allowing her to tell the stories of women who have overcome adversity. She believes that no matter what age or traumatic experiences one has faced, dreams should never be given up on. Cheryl’s life is a testament to this, as she has gone from being in foster care to becoming the current Mrs. Southwest USA Ambassador.
Cheryl’s message is clear: dreams are worth pursuing no matter what challenges one encounter. Her story is truly motivational, and she aims to encourage others to chase their aspirations regardless of their challenges. You can follow her on Instagram and Facebook to learn more about Cheryl.
