SHERLY HEPHZIBAH

"The Joker to your Rummy” – but in the most purpose-driven way.

Driven by passion. Defined by teaching!​

Educator | TEDx Speaker | Podcaster | Author | Voice Artist | Public Speaker | Singer | Show host | Entrepreneur

Hello and welcome! I’m Sherly Hephzibah - an educator by profession, a storyteller by instinct, and a creator by choice.
From curating TEDx stages to crafting global classrooms, from scripting audio stories to singing under studio lights - I live at the crossroads of education, creativity, and purpose.

Every project I take on, whether it’s guiding young thinkers or voicing stories that matter, is rooted in a deep belief: that ideas, when shared with heart, can transform lives.

I mentor fellow educators, build soulful learning spaces, and run a creative business that celebrates the power of thoughtful expression.
At heart, I’m an explorer - always learning, always trying, always moving forward.

This space is a reflection of that journey.
Come on in - where learning meets storytelling, and passion finds purpose.

At WAVES 2025, I had the honour of meeting the Prime Minister of India during the inaugural session. I secured first place (Gold) in the Reels Contest under the Rooted Rhythm category, where my entry celebrated the saree as a timeless symbol of Indian tradition and identity. The award was presented by Mr. Aamir Khan, making the achievement even more special. It was a proud and unforgettable moment that blended creativity, culture, and national recognition.

The TED Journey

My journey with TED began as a speaker at TEDxAmboli, where I shared my talk “Be the Joker.” I later became a TED-Ed Student Talks Educator, mentoring students to develop and present their own powerful ideas. Today, I serve as the Licensee and Organizer of TEDxYouth@VelammalGlobalSchool - curating voices, building platforms, and shaping spaces where ideas truly matter.

Chief Guest at Sathyabama Institute – Women’s Day Celebration

March 06, 2020

I had the honour of being invited as the Chief Guest for the Women’s Day celebration at Sathyabama Institute. During my address, I spoke about the importance of resilience - how women should never give up and continue standing strong, no matter the circumstances. I also shared my thoughts on the idea that true liberty comes with a sense of responsibility and healthy limits.
