LaRoche also authored Free Black Communities and the Underground Railroad: The Geography of Resistance, and she is an associate research professor in Historic Preservation in the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland. Cheryl LaRoche was interviewed by fellow biographer and BIO member Kevin McGruder.
