An avid storyteller at her core, Shelly-Ann Veris is a woman whose heart is in empathy, love and learned cultural richness. Her literary works are inspired by her Caribbean childhood and timeless values which have been passed through generations, and the stories she tells strengthen, heal and instruct. These values and beliefs are captured in her debut collection Echoes of Kindness & Courage as she strongly believes in the power of kindness, courage and doing what is right, even when it is hard. Through every story, Shelly-Ann aims to leave a lasting impression on hearts young and old.
