Brenda grew up a stout Jehovah's witness and through her experiences had to navigate depression through adolescence that led to attempts of suicide.
As a result, she has developed a passion for helping others find themselves. As a musician, she looks to channel that through her music. She writes her own music that aims to send a message about healing from issues with self-esteem, self-image and emotional trauma.
This is a soulful conversation that just makes us feel good. Hopefully it makes you feel good too.
