Description An account of the resource Although she was not born in Turner County, Cheryle Bryan without a doubt is full of pride for our little community. Her arrival to Ashburn on Election Day 1972 is one she will always remember as a new beginning and a chance for her to become an active citizen in our town. But it was also a step toward her future success. Lauded as the first female lawyer for the Tifton Judicial Circuit, she has faced misogyny and sexism since she has graduated from John Marshall University in Atlanta throughout her career. It has shaped the lawyer she is today and has led to a fulfilling, long career. On October 2021, she celebrates 51 years of being a lawyer. On April 17, 2021, the Turner County Project sat down with Cheryle to reflect on her journey to opening her law practice in Ashburn that has been in operation since April 15, 1974.
