Kelli Hanson was introduced to then 16-year old Sherakey.  Finding out that Sherakey loves to create, Kelli took her to Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis.  Sherakey is quiet but has a fun nature about her when she told Kelli she’d love to have a family with a “mom, dad, and a monkey!”  When you ask Sherakey to describe herself, she uses three words: funny, smart, and brave.
