Cheryl Waiters, With Darnella Ford, Author of BLOOD, SWEAT, AND HIGH HEELS

Cheryl Waiters was born the same year as Michael Jackson, and she became a product of that same era. In her memoir, she narrates the story of her life against the backdrop of the political and social activities of the time.

She focuses on her journey as she recaps her life from her birth to teenage parents; her first job proudly at the age of eleven; her service in the US Air Force; her graduation with an A.S. in Mechanical Engineering; her attendance at Cleveland University; and her highly successful career as an electrician.

Waiters describes how she overcame racial and gender bias to gain historic and international recognition as the only female who worked on both The Cleveland Indians' Jacobs Field and the Cleveland Cavaliers' Gund Arena, the first home of LeBron James. Waiters holds the distinction of working on some of America's most important landmarks. Her autobiography shows her tenacity as she continued to struggle for dignity, respect, and equality in treatment and pay on the construction job site.

Waiters Says

"Being born is like coming into the middle of a movie. You have to find out what happened before you arrived and catch up to where you are now."

"Everybody has a life... but the true gift lies in the ability to express that 'life force' in a way that is thought-provoking, entertaining, inspiring, and educational to anyone who might see that life. This life then becomes more—it becomes art."
