Hello, my name is Benzena Edmonds but you can call me Zena! I am a young writer, motivational speaker and owner of a women’s organization. I am a self published author and have been writing literally my whole life. My passion is sorry telling. I have a message to get out. I’m not sure what the message is and who it is for. But I will keep delivering grace and positive energy!
