  Cheryl Dyer

  I really hate these things, the blurb about yourself that is supposed to sum up who you are in a few succinct sentences. Most people’s “About Me’s” are full of snark (which I haven’t mastered), and quips about their quirky life. Well, I ain’t got all that. I'm just a wife, mother, writer and educator born and raised on THE South Side of Chicago; East side to be exact, where it’s Cooler by the Lake . . . I have a complex perspective, very interesting tastes, and my pedigree is that of food stamps and hand-me-downs, government cheese and a library card. I like things Righteous AND Ratchet, Filet Mignon AND Flaming Hots, Talk Radio AND Trap Musik, Pellegrino AND Pepsi . . . . and all cool things in between. I love a good party and great conversation!
