People have mentioned cellstr for converting from a character matrix
to a cell array of character strings, but there is also the simpler

 c = {'a', 'collection', 'of', 'character', 'strings'};

If you just want to create a cell array of character strings from
scratch, there is no need to create a character matrix first.
