Cheryl Clarke

Dr. Cheryl Clarke is a licensed marriage and family therapist, speaker, and founder of Speak Your Power Now, a platform that helps people find their voice, heal emotional wounds, and lead with purpose. With a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership and years of clinical experience, Dr. Clarke blends psychology, storytelling, and spirituality to create safe spaces for growth and self-discovery.

As a Black woman who grew up feeling unseen, criticized, and underestimated, Cheryl knows the power of reclaiming your narrative. Her memoir Girl, You Cute is a love letter to the younger version of herself—and to every Black and Brown girl learning to believe she is enough.

When she’s not coaching, teaching, or writing, Cheryl is loving life with her husband of 30 years and their six children, reminding women everywhere that healing is possible, and their voice is their power.
