Valene is Canadian born with deep Caribbean roots hailing from Jamaica. She shares that her heritage is rich in various art forms, including poetry and storytelling. Much of her experience in writing scripts were developed and nurtured in her community. “When I was growing up, if you weren’t participating in a skit/play by writing or acting in it, you were observing one.”
Valene’s latest work, ‘The Amazing Zoe Defeats The Germie Germlins,’ was inspired by our current pandemic. As a new first time mother to a darling baby girl, her thinking extended towards the health messages she would like to relay to her own daughter as she grows. Valene wants children to recognize they also have an important role in ‘flattening the curve.’ She expressed that when children are given an opportunity to contribute to a cause, great or small, we empower them into creating positive long-term personal and societal changes. Her book highlights how critical health and hygiene practices are for all ages. Valene’s message is simple, the earlier children are introduced to health and hygiene, the likelihood of good health habits to remain throughout adulthood.
