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.

"No one person's story is worse or better than another's…it's up to you to let it defeat you or catapults you to continue to do better." - Brenda Nova
