Author Brenda Mohammed did not choose writing as her career. It happened by chance. She was a successful bank manager who moved into Insurance after leaving the bank. She excelled there as well.

American College, USA. [LUTCF].
She qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table, the Premier Association for Financial Professionals, [MDRT] six times in a row.
Those travel opportunities abroad to attend the MDRT Conferences, broadened her knowledge in new areas which prepared her for writing.
Her writing journey began after her bout with cancer which almost killed her. Miraculously, she survived after flying from Trinidad to Miami for treatment.
She wrote a book I AM CANCER FREE eight years after her near-death experience, and it became a best seller. Thereafter, she continued writing.
