As a mixed media artist, Brenda Fraser has received many awards including “People’s Choice Award” for Steampunk Summer” at Soulard Art Gallery in St Louis; “Best in Mixed Media Category” from St. Peters Cultural Arts Center, and won a “People’s Choice” award in Lakewood, Colorado. She is 2025 Fellow with Artists Inc and earned a prestigious spot with the 2025-2026 “Emerging Artists and Entrepreneurship Program” with the St. Louis Art Fair.

She is one of the featured artists at the Missouri History Museum’s “Sold on St. Louis” gift shop.

In 1996, while living and working in fundraising on the East Coast, she and her mother were driving and had a car crash. Only Brenda survived.

Brenda was told that her life was a miracle. A private session provided some profound understanding.

Brenda made a list of the qualities of the partner she desired, and she showed up. Brenda moved to Missouri in Oct 2004 and started attending CSL St. Louis earlier that summer.

Thru CSL, she learned of a Hindu guru (Dr. Pillai) who taught Wayne Dyer the "ah" meditation, and from that workshop, big shifts occurred. Instead of buying a set of Mala Beads from Dr. Pillai, she learned and created her first set of Mala beads. Her partner, Patrice repaired Brenda's mother's broken rosary (broke during the car crash of 1996), and they ultimately started making jewelry in 2005 and selling it. They sold their jewelry for 15 years until Covid hit.

In 2013-14, she raised the funds and made plans to travel to Ghana to work with women who are jewelry makers, using beads made from recycled glass. The experience was profound in many ways. She mentored and inspired the women to further their education, and to leave the impoverished village to move to the capital city where the work paid more. One woman took her advice, Regina went to school and moved to the capitol. Brenda has her mentor for 11 years and occasionally sends her funds.

Brenda's work in fundraising and in art has been a supportive energy for healing others, promoting good causes and healing for herself.

Kenzie Leon Perry, the Creative Director at Ze Haus Design Studio, curates unique and personalized designs that transform spaces into expressions of individuality and soul. His work as a licensed interior designer spans hospitality, commercial, and residential spaces, but his passion extends beyond the physical environment. As a visual artist and product designer, Kenzie crafts distinctive wallpaper and fabric collections, all deeply influenced by his love of nature and the lush tropical landscapes that surround his Miami, Florida roots. Mr. Perry's design philosophy, Tropic Art Nuvo, blends vibrant colors, prints, and patterns, liberating spaces from monotony and infusing them with depth and character.

Kenzie's journey is not just one of design; it's one of spiritual discovery. Raised in a traditional missionary Baptist church founded by Bahamian migrants in Opa Locka, Florida, his early life was steeped in faith. Singing, acting, and design became his avenues of expression as he learned about the word of God. Kenzie initially went to school for gospel music, but later changed majors to focus on interior design, completing a degree that his mother had once pursued but left behind after giving birth to him.

Kenzi 's spiritual journey led him away from traditional ministries and toward a deeper, more personal exploration of his faith. It wasn't until 2003, when a friend introduced him to Unity on the Bay, that he found a spiritual home that resonated with his true self. Though he hesitated at first, he eventually embraced Unity's teachings, and by 2011, he became an official member. This community helped him heal from past traumas and reignited his passion for music, leading him to join the music ministry and begin writing and recording his own songs. His favorite spiritual practices include walking, mirror work, yoga, and painting, all of which help him connect with his inner self and the world around him.

In addition to his design and spiritual endeavors, Kenzie is deeply committed to education and diversity in the design industry. He is the illustrator for the Design Your World book (published in 2022) and has been the facilitator for this program for three consecutive years. This education pathway program is driven by the mission to build equity and diversity in the design industry, providing high school students with exposure to the possibilities of a career in design. By advocating for the value of design, their members and the industry give agency and access to underrepresented people through the built environment and the power of place, while sharing what careers are available and possible in the industry.

Today, Kenzie's elife is a blend of creative and spiritual pursuits. He is writing a book titled *Affirmative Reading for the Present Day at-hand*, a compilation of personal and affirmative journey writings aimed at cultivating a healthy mindset. He continues to design residential and commercial spaces through Ze Haus Design Studio, while teaching and raising scholarships at Florida International University. His journey is one of continuous exploration—of spirit, of design, and of self—guided by a deep sense of oneness and the belief that our true selves are waiting to be awakened.
