Can you tell me a little about your background? Like where you grew up and maybe went to school?
Kamau's Question: Who or what inspired you to get involved in helping elderly people to use digital technology?
Sherie's Answer: My inspiration for helping the elderly with digital technology
comes from the close relationship I had with my grandmother. She meant
the world to me, and I always felt
a strong desire to protect her.
I created this training program in her
honor and for all the elders who have given so much to us. My goal is to
give the elderly the confidence to navigate the digital world, stay
connected with loved ones, and protect themselves
from online scams.
It’s really about empowering them to feel safe and capable in a world that’s constantly changing. This training isn’t just about learning tech skills - it’s about ensuring that those who have always looked out for us feel safe, supported, and protected.
Kamau's Question: Why is it so important for elderly persons to get up to date on digital and Internet technology today?
Sherie's Answer: As technology keeps moving forward, it can feel pretty overwhelming for a lot of seniors,
and unfortunately, there are people out there who take advantage of
that. That’s why
it’s so important to help older folks feel confident using digital
tools.
It’s not just about staying connected with family and friends,
but also protecting themselves from scams. When seniors
know how to spot harmful links or avoid giving out personal
information,
it helps keep them safe from people trying to steal their money—or even
worse, their homes. In the end, it’s all about giving them the
confidence to navigate a fast-changing world and feel secure doing it.
Kamau's Question: Do you also provide more exclusive tech training for elderly persons?
Sherie's Answer: Not at this time. For now we focus on our program Tech Savvy Seniors.
Kamau's Question: What is the best way to contact you and join the tech training program
Sherie's Answer: Email sheriebellison@gmail.com or call me at 347-551-2818
