Every student in America deserves the opportunity to know how to make empowering decisions in and out of school.

Who is Chelo?

In 2012, after studying Business Management at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Chelo traveled to Los Angeles to pursue an entertainment opportunity with America's Got Talent. There, he faced a decision that would ultimately change the direction of his life.

Instead of continuing down that path, Chelo chose to return home and speak to 300 teenagers at the Orange County Youth Detention Center.

What happened that day became the foundation of what is now known as Chelo's Anatoliah Workshop.

When focus, self-talk, and emotions are off, students’ decisions suffer—and that directly impacts behavior and school culture.

For more than a decade, Chelo has helped thousands of students explore a simple but powerful idea: before every decision, there is a combination of focus, self-talk, and emotions influencing the outcome.

Today, Chelo continues helping students better understand the thoughts and feelings that shape their choices, relationships, and future paths.

"Anatoliah is particularly beneficial in a middle school, where students navigate crucial personal and academic development stages."

- Principal Floyd @ Robinswood Middle School, Orlando, FL
