THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

Cheryl Scott Williams

“I feel so honored to be asked to tell my story. It also reminds me of how lucky I’ve been to be able to grow, and to continue to grow, which is why I like still being involved in AAUW, in Miriam’s Kitchen, because curing homelessness is like one of those issues that you wonder, when will we ever figure it out? I feel a lot of that has come from the experience that I’ve gotten with the support of women.”
