Karen has impacted my life with her positive attitude and commitment to helping others realize their value. When we first meant, I was initially drawn to her good energy (aura). Once we got to know each other, I’ve seen how she always available and eager to share her perspective when you need advice or guidance. She is a great example of stewardship and paying it forward. She keeps me humble, knowing what she has accomplished and yet so willing to help others.

Karen Cherry "sees you!"

She listens to your words and hears your concerns, your fears and tunes into your heart. Karen doesn't wait to be asked, when she sees something that she can do to help a friend. She jumps in with both feet, rolls up her sleeves, and works by your side to wade through the mess. Karen doesn't measure your friendship by how closely you mirror her accomplishments. She values your friendship when you have a good heart, strong values and you keep showing up!!That's what Karen does all the time, she keeps showing up, making you laugh and loving you...the Karen Way!

~ Derrick Jones

"Karen has been instrumental in my success and a wonderful inspiration in my life. Growing up around drugs, gangs, and

poverty I needed help seeing beyond my current environment in order to dream for a better future. Karen was that bright light. Seeing her work her way through college while working full time showed me that hard work pays off. When I thought I wanted to be a heart surgeon, she gave me a hospital tour and facilitated meetings with doctors. And when I started my first business, she was my first client. Now I am a mother of four, CPA with a Masters degree, successful business owner, and homeowner. Karen has been at every milestone,

encouraging me on along the way."

~ Kimberly Hudson

Karen is a great example of servant leadership; it's never about her personally but the people which she serve. Karen is really good at building teams and leading them to victory
