17-year-old Helena describes how being bullied in school lead her to write her thoughts in her journal and create empowering songs for youth.
Creating songs from her journal entries, Helena began writing as a form of personal expression that soon turned into a passion for helping others. Her most recent single “Pushed Away” deals with her own experiences of opposition, ridicule, and self-harm, which has led her to become an advocate for others. Using her voice as an inspiration of hope and strength, Helena takes a stand against the evasive issues affecting youth in today's society.
