Brunch with the Twins

Brunch on a sunny Sunday morning is always a treat, but when you have the company of Cherry and Sherry Wilmore, it transforms into a truly memorable occasion. The Friends N Mimosas podcast team had the pleasure of sitting down with these dynamic twins to discuss their nonprofit organization, Cherish Times Two, over a delectable spread of avocado toast, fluffy pancakes, and, of course, mimosas. 

Cherry and Sherry Wilmore are not just identical twins; they are a powerhouse duo known for their infectious energy, compassion, and commitment to making the world a better place. Their nonprofit, Cherish Times Two, is a testament to their dedication to helping others, particularly children and families in need.  As we settled into our cozy brunch spot, the twins greeted us with warm smiles and a contagious enthusiasm. "We've always done everything together," Cherry began, "so it was only natural that we would start a nonprofit together." Sherry nodded in agreement, adding, "Our parents instilled in us the importance of giving back to the community, and Cherish Times Two is our way of honoring that legacy."

The mission of Cherish Times Two is to provide support and resources to underserved communities, focusing on education, healthcare, and family services. Cherry and Sherry shared heartwarming stories of the impact their organization has had, from providing school supplies and tutoring programs to organizing health clinics and family counseling services. "One of our favorite initiatives is the annual back-to-school drive," Cherry explained. "We partner with local businesses to collect school supplies and distribute them to children who might not otherwise have what they need to succeed." Sherry chimed in, "It's incredible to see the joy on their faces when they receive their backpacks filled with notebooks, pencils, and other essentials."

As we enjoyed our brunch, the twins' passion for their work was evident in every word they spoke. They emphasized the importance of community involvement and encouraged listeners to find ways to give back, no matter how small. "Even a little bit of help can make a big difference," Sherry said. "Volunteering your time, donating supplies, or simply spreading the word about a cause you care about can create a ripple effect of positive change." The conversation took a personal turn as the twins opened up about the challenges they’ve faced along the way. "Running a nonprofit is incredibly rewarding, but it’s not without its difficulties," Cherry admitted. "Funding can be a major hurdle, and there are times when it feels like an uphill battle." Sherry nodded, adding, "But those moments of struggle make the successes even sweeter. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people we help reminds us why we do what we do."

Despite the challenges, Cherry and Sherry remain optimistic about the future of Cherish Times Two. They have big plans to expand their reach and continue making a difference in the lives of those they serve. "We’re constantly looking for new ways to grow and improve our programs," Cherry said. "Our goal is to create sustainable change and empower communities to thrive." As our brunch came to an end, it was clear that Cherry and Sherry Wilmore are more than just community leaders; they are beacons of hope and inspiration. Their unwavering dedication to their mission and their genuine love for helping others is truly remarkable.

Leaving the brunch, we felt inspired and motivated to get involved in our own communities. Cherry and Sherry’s story is a powerful reminder that with passion, perseverance, and a little bit of teamwork, we can all make a difference. Whether it’s through supporting Cherish Times Two or finding our own ways to give back, the Wilmore twins have shown us that the possibilities for positive change are endless.
