Sheyene Gerardi offered a profound glimpse into her personal philosophy in a recent interview, revealing that her greatest driving force is a simple yet powerful love for life itself.

"I love life, that's my real weakness, not only my life, but life in general," Gerardi candidly shared. This deep appreciation fuels her engagement with others, noting. "It is both heartening and inspiring to spend time with so many wonderful people I meet everyday, their sacred stories and unique legacies."

Having lost both of her parents, she explained that the topic touches something "very deep" within her. She powerfully argued that legacy _extends far beyond a financial inheritance.

Instead, the "echoes of our ancestors are on display every day" through a deeper, more personal inheritance: our "attitudes, behaviors, beliefs and principles, in the generosity and the respect we show to others and by the choices we make."

This guiding notion is what helps her stay value-focused in a world of abundant distractions. For Gerardi, the ultimate expression of love and respect for those who came before is personal integrity: "living a life that is consistent with my principles and values is the best way I have found to honor my parents."
