Meet Cheri
Speaker • Author • ELLE-Published Model • Heart Disease Survivor
Cheri Glover believes that useful information, meaningful support, and one courageous step can help change a life.
At 27, Cheri underwent open-heart surgery. That experience reshaped her understanding of health, faith, healing, and self-advocacy. It also strengthened her commitment to helping women listen to their bodies, understand their risks, ask informed questions, and participate actively in their care.
Today, Cheri is a speaker, author, WomenHeart Champion, and heart disease survivor. She brings 19 years of experience in workforce development, human services, training, business development, and disability advocacy. Through her workforce development work, she supports people as they prepare for employment and move toward greater independence. Cheri holds a B.S. from St. John's University and an Ed.M. from Teachers College, Columbia University, and is pursuing doctoral studies at Liberty University.
As a WomenHeart Champion, Cheri joins a national network of women with heart disease who are trained to serve as educators, advocates, community leaders, and sources of support. She uses her lived experience to encourage stronger heart-health awareness and connect women with trusted resources.
Cheri is also the founder of The Model Motivator Consulting & Training Services, creator of Fashion & Style Fundamentals and the Beauty Empowerment Workshop, and author of The Model Motivator: One Woman’s Journey Past the Runway. After beginning her modeling career at 35, she made her New York Fashion Week debut in 2016 and became an ELLE-published model.
Her work brings together heart health, patient self-advocacy, resilience, faith, confidence, and purposeful action.
The One Step Method
The One Step Method is a practical framework that guides people through awareness, healing, alignment, and intentional action. It helps individuals release what’s holding them back and move forward with clarity, peace, and purpose — one step at a time.
Awareness – Identify what’s holding you back
Healing – Release emotional and spiritual wounds
Alignment – Reconnect with peace and purpose
Action – Move forward one step at a time
Embodiment – Live confidently in your calling
Healing doesn’t happen all at once — it happens one step at a time.
