Founder & Director
Chellerina is truly a woman of faith with many works as evidence that demonstrates her belief in turning impossible challenges into positive manifestation. Chellerina is a 27-year cancer survivor of one of the most deadliest diseases, Gallbladder Cancer. Cancer in the gallbladder is so deadly because it has no symptoms until the cancer has spread to the liver and upon discovery, victims are normally given a few weeks to live (Mayo Clinic, 2022).
Chellerina survived by the Grace of God. Her cancer was operable and she never had to take medication or receive chemo or radiation treatment. Until this day, her doctors are amazed at her survival and has acknowledged that she is a medical miracle. Chellerina believes that she is still alive for one purpose, to encourage others to use their gift and talents, follow their dreams, and pursue their passion ultimately, to live their destiny!
As a response, in 1999 she established the Charity Charm & Learning Club (CCLC) and in 2005 she founded the Empowerment4U Network (www.E4UNetwork.com) that focuses on empowering individuals to use their gift and talents, turn them into entrepreneurship, business ownership, and multiple income streams. Individuals also are encouraged, equipped and supported to create and host their own TV, Radio, and Podcast shows.
Prior to establishing the Charity Charm & Learning Club and the Empowerment4U Network, Chellerina was a child entrepreneur at the age of eight. Growing up as a child, she suffered with a learning disability. As a child she prayed for God to make her smart. God responded to her prayer filled with childlike faith by endowing her with witty creative entrepreneurial ideas.
Over the years Chellerina started and operated several successful businesses. She founded Kidz-N-Action and Celebrity Kidz lip sync productions, and the Philadelphia Grant Center. She has educated hundreds of people about starting a business during her workshops and has helped many people start a Business, TV , Radio, and Podcast Show, gain 501 c 3 Tax-Exemption, and receive grant funding.
Now, 47-years later, God is still answering her childhood prayer full of childlike faith, with witty business strategies, wisdom, knowledge, experience, and above all, understanding to support the masses in using their God given gifts, talents, and dreams ultimately, to fulfill their destiny!
