Why This Show?...Cheryl Evette Booker shares,
"I am doing this show because these are very tumultuous times in which we find ourselves, whether at home or abroad. I thought about the patriarchs and how they solved the unrest during their times in history. Then I thought, what of the matriarchs—how did they manage the disruptive times of their day? We don't really hear much about the women who fought to stay alive, raise their children, protect their communities, and lead their nations. I am bringing these particular women to visit with us to remind us that, no matter the obstacle, we can overcome. No matter what our fears may be, we are always greater than the sum of all of our fears!"
