Who Am I?...

Hiya, I am Quader'a Ciera Henry! Welcome to my website!

​

Growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, and in foster care has been a journey of various highs and lows. During these times, I acquired a love for writing, painting, fashion, cooking, designing, and other activities that brought my creative side to life. 

In 2007, I enrolled in Milton Hershey School (MHS) at eleven years old. While my transition to MHS was not the easiest, a world of possibilities opened for my future.

During this period of homesickness, I gained a love for field hockey, where I learned to play and was captain of the high school varsity team. 

​

After graduating from high school at MHS, I enrolled at Wilkes University for my first year and transferred to the University of Delaware (UD). While at UD, I majored in Africana Studies, minored in Sociology, and researched Mass Incarceration while mentoring at a local elementary school.

Upon graduating from UD in 2019, I started substitute teaching in the north Philadelphia area, and I realized that teaching was my calling; it was what I wanted to do. Teaching urban students took me back to my childhood and tough days as a foster care child. Going to school was my haven, and I relished the company of my teachers; they were kind, patient, and inspiring. I want to be a haven and inspiration for the next student experiencing the world's troubles. I see myself in many students and wish to help them learn and grow into exemplary human beings. 

​

I also aspire to be a role model for young girls, and I vehemently promote divine feminine qualities while mentoring, teaching, and coaching field hockey. My goal is to put positive energy into the world and live with a thankful mindset.
