Welcome!
I am Chelo Fansua. As a speaker, I help students develop one of the most important skill sets they will need both in and out of the classroom: decision-making. I created the Anatoliah Talk because I firmly believe that an honest, joyful, and meaningful conversation can change the way a student sees themselves—and the decisions they make in school and in life.
Why Anatoliah?
It was the first place where humans crafted mirrors 8,000 years ago. The premise of my talk is to inspire students to look in the mirror and begin to make better decisions.
Who benefits the most?
The following four grade levels are especially well suited for the experience:
-
6th Grade — Entering Middle School
Adjusting to greater independence, new expectations, and a different social environment.
-
8th Grade — Preparing for High School
Thinking about the choices, habits, relationships, and mindset they will carry into high school.
-
9th Grade — Entering High School
Navigating a new level of independence, peer pressure, and personal responsibility.
-
12th Grade — Preparing for Life After High School
Making decisions about college, work, and the person they want to become.
How long is it?

Make better decisions
"Your message is particularly beneficial in a middle school, where students navigate crucial personal and academic development stages."
