The Mentorship Hive Nonprofit Organization was founded by Dernsta D. Chery, a professional with a Master's degree, a Bachelor of Science in Community Health and Wellness, and over 25 years of healthcare experience across all stages of life. She is also a Doctoral Candidate and the proud owner of Nerua's Beauty Supply and Boutique in Attleboro, MA, and Nerua's Beauty Shop in Taunton, MA.
But credentials only tell part of the story. At her core, Mrs. Chery is a champion of people of their potential, their resilience, and their right to someone who shows up for them. After decades of walking alongside individuals through every season of life, she saw a gap: a lack of consistent, compassionate mentorship. So she built The Mentorship Hive to fill it.
