Introduction
Cher Strauberry (born 1992) is a goofy-footed American skateboarder and musician who lives in Oakland, California.
Skateboarding
At age 12, Strauberry took first place overall in the California Amateur Skateboard League. Although experiencing early success as a skateboarder, Strauberry quit skateboarding for a number of years after a series of ankle injuries. On January 1st, 2017 Lacey Baker came to a show Strauberry was playing. Lacey told Cher she was a fan of her band. This inspired Strauberry to start skating again.
In 2019, All Hail the Black Market released a Cher Strauberry signature skateboard.
Strauberry does a backside 180 heelflip at Embarcadero, in the 2019 Supreme video CANDYLAND directed by William Strobeck. Strauberry's clip is followed by Beatrice Domond.

Music
At age 16, Strauberry discovered the Alternative Music Foundation in Berkeley, an all-inclusive and all-ages collective music venue. At the venue, she saw Younger Lovers, a gay punk band. So inspired, Cher went straight home that night and started her band, Pookie and the Poodlez.
