Jenvon Cherry developed Epilepsy at the tender age of 6 years old. While in elementary school, she was stabbed in the eye by a fellow classmate. She was taken to the hospital and was given stitches and sent home.  Two weeks later, The baby sitter had informed her Mother that she  seemed to be tired, and slept all Day. Later on that evening, She had a Grand mall Seizure at home. She was taken to the hospital, and after several MRI'S and CT scans The Doctors found the Pencil lead had broken off and lodged itself into the left Frontal lobe of the brain. Surgery was performed to remove the lead. The Doctors told my Parents that I would never be able to graduate from High school much less college because of the trauma to the brain area, which affected the learning capabilities. Well of course I defeated the odds. I graduated from High school and Benedict College with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication. I have been employed in the Educational Field for 20 years.

My purpose is to bring awareness to the African American Community through Education inspiration and advocacy. I would like to be able to go into the Educational institutions and the Workplace to Find a solution for training techniques for people with a Brain disorder. My accolades includes a Speaking Engagement at Carolina Voyager elementary school for Career Day  here in Charleston.  I have been Featured on Carolyn Murray podcast in March before my Epitome of Epitome walk at Hampton Park for Epilepsy Awareness day. I was  a guest speaker on Lowcountry Live in October .I have been Featured in the Georgia State University news paper titled "The signal" The word 'Epitome' defines who I am. I may have Epilepsy, but Epilepsy doesn't have Me.
