ABOUT AUDRA:
Life Coach/Motivational Speaker/Author Audra Bryant is a life coach, motivational speaker, singer, and author who shares her transformational journey of healing to help others turn their scars into their superpower. After an accident caused her to receive burns on her chest, neck and shoulder at the tender age of 18-months, Bryant spent nearly 25 years trying to rid herself of the scars with surgeries, compression vests, acid treatments, and injections.
She then began to cover them with t-shirts and turtlenecks and refused to look at her scars in the mirror until she was 25 years old, only to find herself missing out on her purpose and meaningful relationships. Because of her experience, the Detroit native wrote her song “Scars” to encourage others going through similar situations and shares her journey in a book “I’ve Got Scars Baby! How to Embrace Your Scars and Power Your Purpose.” In it, Bryant reveals that through prayer, affirmations, therapy, and other methods, she eventually found her purpose by embracing her scars. Additionally, as a certified life coach, she’s empowered countless others through workshops, personal coaching, speaking engagements, online courses, and her podcast “I’ve Got Scars Baby!”, which explores “scars” of all sorts from physical to mental and emotional.
Bryant’s infectious smile, impeccable talent and powerful testimony led to her being a motivational speaker and performer for The Detroit Medical Center, Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Los Angeles Unified School District, Accelerated Radio, LA Talk Radio and the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.
Through the victories and the times of challenge, Bryant’s learned that we all have a purpose that is inextricable linked to one another so it is her desire to encourage others in their journey and make them smile along the way!

ABOUT LINDA:
Linda McQueen, founder and chief executive officer of the Heartburn (fire) foundation.

We are a recovery organization providing direct assistance to burn and fire survivors in need of food, clothing, temporary shelter, rehabilitative counseling, and relocation services.
On June 10, 1972 my life totally changed. At the age of 22, I was burned beyond recognition; I feared I would never be the same again to experience life, as I knew it. It took a total of five years for my total healing. I knew I had to do something to thank God for his healing so I started the foundation to help others who had been burned, or in a fire.
Their mission at the Heart-Burn foundation is to address these needs as we assist families with their recovery. She has been featured on T.B.N. Christian stations Celebrate Life, taking a break with Joni Lamb, Josyln Dorsey, Channel 2, Fox 5, Clayton County News Daily, V103 People station with Wanda Smith.
