CANCER SURVIVOR TURNS LITERARY ICON

 

Trinidad banker's near-death experience sparks remarkable transformation into award-winning author with 65 published books across five continents.

NATIONWIDE - SEPTEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) The hospital room was sterile white, and the prognosis was grim. Brenda Mohammed, a successful Commercial Credit Manager at Republic Bank Limited in Trinidad and Tobago, faced the fight of her life against cancer. In that moment of profound vulnerability, something extraordinary happened, not just survival, but a complete reinvention that would transform her from a banking executive into one of the Caribbean's most prolific and celebrated authors.

"I realized that life is precious and fragile," Mohammed reflects on that pivotal period. "I had stories to tell, and I couldn't waste another moment not sharing them with the world."

What emerged from that hospital bed was not just a survivor, but a literary powerhouse who would go on to publish 65 books spanning multiple genres, earn international recognition across five continents, and inspire thousands of aspiring writers through her advocacy work.

From Boardroom to Bookshelf

Mohammed's journey to literary prominence was anything but conventional. Before her life-altering health battle, she had already established herself as a trailblazing figure in Trinidad and Tobago's financial sector. Rising from bank clerk to Commercial Credit Manager at Republic Bank Limited, she demonstrated the same visionary thinking that would later define her literary career.

Her impact extended beyond traditional banking. Mohammed's innovative approach to community development helped transform rural areas into thriving economic centers, contributing significantly to Trinidad and Tobago's broader economic growth. She later transitioned to insurance, where her excellence earned her the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table qualification six times and a Life Underwriting Fellowship from the American College in the United States.

But it was her brush with mortality that unlocked her true calling. Her memoir "I Am Cancer Free" became not just a bestselling account of survival, but a beacon of hope for others facing similar battles. The book's success marked the beginning of an unprecedented literary career that would span genres from science fiction to children's literature.

Building a Literary Empire

What sets Mohammed apart in the crowded literary landscape is not just her prolific output, but the breadth and quality of her work. Her 65 published books encompass memoirs, science fiction, romance, mystery, self-help, children's literature, Christian writing, and poetry, a range that demonstrates remarkable versatility and storytelling mastery.

Her acclaimed science fiction thriller "Zeeka Chronicles" garnered particular attention, earning adaptation into a five-part screenplay for film or television. This crossover into visual media showcases Mohammed's ability to craft narratives that transcend traditional publishing boundaries, connecting her to the global film and television community through platforms like Stage 32.

The accolades have been numerous and international in scope. Mohammed has received Reader's Favorite International Awards for both "Zeeka Chronicles" and "I Am Cancer Free," while her memoir "My Life as a Banker" earned second prize for Best Memoir in the Metamorph Publishing Awards in the United States. Her "Stories People Love" and "How to Write for Success" both received Gold Medals in Connection Emagazine Readers' Choice Awards.

Global Recognition and Leadership

Mohammed's influence extends far beyond individual literary achievements. As the founder of the How to Write for Success Literary Network, she has created a platform that empowers writers worldwide through anthologies, magazines, and mentorship programs. Her self-help book "How to Write for Success" was praised in the Ethiopian Herald as "a comprehensive toolkit for writers, critics, and editors."

Her leadership roles reflect her commitment to elevating the literary community globally. Serving as National President for Trinidad and Tobago of the Camara International Writers and Artists (CIESART) with headquarters in Spain, and as Peace Ambassador for the Iqra Foundation in India, Mohammed bridges cultures and continents through her literary advocacy.

The recognition from CIESART Spain has been particularly notable, with Mohammed receiving numerous prestigious awards, including the Plato Award, Socrates Award, and Dante Alighieri Award. Her Barry Holmes Mysteries series earned both the CLR Award from India and recognition from CIESART Spain, while also becoming a finalist in the Independent Author Awards 2024.

Adding to her impressive list of achievements, Mohammed has been nominated by CIESART International for the Woman of the Year Award 2025, with the winner to be announced at a gala in Spain this December.

Beyond Literature: Humanitarian Impact

Mohammed's influence transcends literary boundaries. Her advocacy work addresses critical social issues, including peace promotion, anti-domestic violence initiatives, anti-human trafficking efforts, anti-drug addiction programs, and suicide prevention. This humanitarian commitment adds depth to her literary mission, demonstrating how storytelling can be a force for positive social change.

Her international recognition spans five continents, reflecting not just literary achievement but a broader impact on global communities. Through her various roles and initiatives, Mohammed has built bridges between cultures while maintaining her roots in Trinidad and Tobago's vibrant literary tradition.

The breadth of Mohammed's work, from banking innovation to literary creation to humanitarian advocacy, illustrates a life dedicated to transformation and empowerment. Her journey from cancer patient to literary icon serves as inspiration for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.

If you're seeking inspiration for your own creative journey or looking to connect with a literary community that spans continents, Brenda Mohammed's story proves that reinvention is possible at any stage of life. Her network continues to nurture emerging writers while her established works offer both entertainment and guidance for readers worldwide.
