Cheryl “She Fox” on Storytelling Through Photography, A Few Good Women, and Creative Joy
Dr. Louise Stanger hosts her first podcast with photographer and storyteller Cheryl “She Fox,” recalling how they met through a photoshoot with Louise’s daughter Sydney and later collaborated at the Sunset Marquis, where their session led to Louise’s book Reflections on Aging and a signing at Morrison Hotel Gallery. Cheryl discusses her career path from a Hampton University suspension to studying sociology, learning photography in a darkroom, and training at the School of Visual Arts as a mother of two. She describes entering the fine art world with behind-the-scenes hip hop images and working with artists like Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, and Rihanna, while managing difficult sets by removing “outside noise.” Cheryl addresses being underestimated as a woman of color, her “happy heart,” advice to stretch imagination, and plans for A Few Good Women as a second edition and docuseries plus brand partnerships. She also shares illustrating her son Jamani’s children’s books using AI and collaborating with Louise on a “Trauma is your superpower” comic concept.
