In The Note of C
"I do not seek Wealth, Fame or Place,
Among the great ones of my race,
But, I would pen in letters bold!
Some thoughts! perhaps to cheer the soul."
Myra Viola Wilds

Cheryl Smith now lives in Chicago, IL.with her two year-old daughter and mother. She is presently completing her Professional Studies degree at Roosevelt University and is working full-time as an accounting analyst for The Northern Trust Bank. The following great African American authors encourage and have influenced Cheryl: Margaret Walker, Zora Neale Hurston, Amiri Baraka, Haki Madhubuti, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Myra Viola Wilds, Gwendolyn Brooks, Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni. However, the everyday tragic, triumphant, repulsive and splendid things, people and events inspire her to write. Cheryl is currently working on her second book of poetry and short stories.
