The
Origins of Brenda Mohammed's Literary Journey
Brenda Mohammed’s life began in a way that many would
describe as traditional. She entered the banking industry at Republic Bank
Limited, rising from an entry-level clerk to Commercial Credit Manager. Her
visionary leadership helped transform rural communities into thriving towns,
contributing to the economic development of Trinidad and Tobago. It was in this
phase of her career that Brenda built the foundation for her success: a deep
understanding of community-building, strategic thinking, and leadership.
Yet, it was an unexpected life event that would radically
alter the course of her life. Diagnosed with cancer, Brenda faced a
life-threatening challenge that many could not survive. However, her resilience
became the hallmark of her character. After winning her battle with cancer, she
wrote her memoir, I Am Cancer Free, which not only became a bestseller but also
garnered international acclaim. This book marked the beginning of her literary
career, one that would ultimately see her publish 67 books, spanning a variety
of genres, from memoirs and self-help to romance, mystery, science fiction, and
poetry.
A
Transformation in More Ways Than One
Brenda’s literary career took off following her remarkable
recovery, but her rise wasn’t without challenges. With no prior experience in
the literary world, Brenda had to navigate the intricacies of publishing,
marketing, and establishing herself as an author. Yet, her banking background
served her well; her strategic mind, work ethic, and commitment to quality were
the driving forces behind her success.
Her acclaimed sci-fi thriller Zeeka Chronicles, which was
adapted into a five-part screenplay for film or television, stands as one of
her major accomplishments. Her
screenplay ‘Zeeka and the Zombies’ was a finalist in the Horror.com Film*
Screenplay Contest, with judges from Hollywood. This success was not just a
personal triumph but a beacon of inspiration for many aspiring writers who
follow her.
Brenda's ability to seamlessly blend genres, from memoirs
to science fiction, reflects her versatility and creativity as an author.
But Brenda’s achievements did not stop at writing. She has

book Zeeka Chronicles earned a gold medal in the Reader’s Favorite International
Awards, and I Am Cancer Free also took home an award in the same competition.

Mysteries, including the esteemed Plato Award and Socrates Award. As if that
