Reporter Cherri Gregg shares how Maya Angelou impacts her daily life

What’s one female-inspired quote or phrase you like to live by?

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” — Maya Angelou.


I used to be the queen of [giving people the] benefit of the doubt. But over the years I have learned to expect and allow people to be exactly who they are. It saves so much heartbreak and time when you accept people as they are, instead of trying to change them. When someone proves they are unreliable, I believe them. If they prove they are capable, I also believe them. I focus on actions, not words.

As a woman #HERstory (history) maker, what do you want your legacy to be?


My mission has always been to use communication to empower, educate and positively influence the world. I hope that my work in radio, TV and beyond will leave a legacy of empowerment among underserved communities. I hope it also leaves strong shoulders for other empowered women to stand on.
