Get to know the women behind the experience

Kimberley Berry Cheatham
I am Kimberley, a South Georgia native whose love for candles and artistic expression has guided me throughout my life. The Berry in The Berry Damsel Experience honors my birth name and carries the spirit of my ancestors forward. From childhood curiosity to years in the corporate world, I have always been drawn to creating with purpose and heart. For me, this experience is about sparking inspiration, celebrating heritage, and helping others uncover their own artistry.

Yolanda Davis
I am Yolanda, originally from Chicago and now rooted in Phoenix by way of Mississippi. The Damsel in our name reflects my belief that women can embrace softness without being confined by stereotypes. Inspired by a childhood cartoon, I reclaimed the idea of the damsel as one of strength, creativity, and freedom. As a certified yoga instructor, I bring mindfulness and care into every workshop, inviting guests to relax, connect, and discover their glow.

Together
As co-founders we shaped The Berry Damsel Experience to reflect who we are and what we believe. It is both a tribute to legacy and a playful reimagining of what it means to be women in community. Every workshop is more than candle making, it is a gathering where creativity, connection, and joy take center stage and where every guest leaves with light to carry forward.
