Hello!
I'm Venus Sherard aka Tellda, The Storyteller Lady.
"It is my greatest prayer that children of all ages know the love of their Creator through His word, I hope to do this by building relationships with children and their families. I encourage each person to build their own personal relationship with God. I also pray that The Storyteller Lady will unite communities. This message is rooted in the fundamental principle of treating others as one would like to be treated, serves as a means to address global concerns such as racial bias, political discord, and navigating the challenges of our world while adhering to this universal ethic.
I close each lesson with "you are not alone!" This affirmation holds particular significance in light of the concerning rise in the suicide rate among children aged 8 to 12. It is crucial for every child to feel enveloped in love, knowing that they are valued and cherished.
DISCLAIMER: While I may not hold formal expertise in childhood development, I believe my education and life experiences enrich the life lessons I share, aimed at positively impacting both children and their grownups. It's a privilege and joy to have the chance to contribute to their lives in this way.
