Cheryl Denise Bannerman
Even at the age of seven, she would sit for hours on end reading about faraway lands, intriguing characters and intoxicating storylines. And by a pre-teen, she was writing poetry for publication and short stories for school that moved the reader to laughter, tears, and sometimes anger. She was an old creative soul from a young age, experiencing way too much ‘life’ than she would have liked. Now this little girl is all grown up with a child of her own. A child who also loves to write, and even has a unique and masterful talent to draw. When Cheryl Powell (pen name, Cheryl D. Bannerman) is not writing for her next book, she is running her 21-year old virtual B2B Training and Development company based out of her Orlando, Florida, home. Since 1996, she has been known as an Instructional Design and e-Learning Specialist — with clients all over the US and overseas — creating classroom training materials, e-Learning modules, job aides and more for corporate employees and their clients. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and a Master of Science degree in IT Project Management and Leadership, and manages multiple projects over various time zones as an expert Service Provider. Her wide range of training experience, from classroom-based as a Computer Instructor to online universities as a Professor, all the way to the corporate arena — in conjunction with her background in Technology — has greatly contributed to her success in the field of Training and Development. In her spare time, she loves to read murder mysteries, attend museums, watch movies, try new restaurants and cuisines, shop with her daughter, and take in the sun on the beach. And, although this author’s works are fiction, she has incorporated many of her personal life’s experiences into their stories. Cheryl Powell is pleased to announce that she is now represented by R.J. Garis Agency .

About the Author
Chapter 1
When I Was Me
(back when I knew myself)
I wanted what every girl wants: to fall in love and live happily ever after. But after one failed marriage and with forty quickly approaching, I had given up. Pouring my time into my child, my God, and my business was my life. So here is my story…
I Am Empowered
I am empowered
I am His Daughter
HE has my back
I am empowered
My child is His grandchild
HE has our back
I am empowered
Oh how we prosper
For nothing we lack
We are empowered
We be writin’ dem checks
Wit lots of zeroes
We are His children
We are the ones you mock
We are the ones you hate
We are successful
Checks in the mail
Everyone knows our name
We are His children
Unique in our own way
Never the same
I am empowered by her
She is empowered by me
We are as One
I am empowered by her
She is empowered by me
We are His Children
Try as you may
Try as you will
Won’t take that pill
Blue or Red, I ain’t dead
Eternal Life
Neva givin’ up
That’s what’s up
Through pain and strife
I am empowered
I am empowered
This is my life
I am empowered
Let me empower you
I live for HIS glory
I am empowered
I AM empowered
I AM EMPOWERED
This was who I was.
