https://www.govserv.org/TT/Port-of-Spain/423554374351077/Ministry-of-Tourism%2C-Culture-and-the-Arts-Trinidad-%26-Tobago
Here are the articles for ease of reference:

ARTICLE 1

TRINIDAD AUTHOR MAKES WORLD HEADLINES. In spite of COVID 19 in 2020, Author Brenda Mohammed is pursuing her work in Literature. She made headlines in the Sunday Herald in Ethiopia on Sunday 6th September 2020. A full article about her was written by Alem Hailu, Chief Editor. You can read it at this link. https://www.press.et/english/?p=27061#
Here is the article: Author Brenda Mohammed was honoured with Prashamsh*th Pathr (Certificate of Honour) by the world’s most active writers’ forum ‘Motivational Strips’ and India Government’s premier literary institution ‘Gujarat Sahitya Akademi.’
Brenda Mohammed, a former bank manager, is a prominent writer and poet from Trinidad. She has been writing vivid literary genres from a very young age. She is today a role model to all her fellow writers having authored 27 books.
She has won several awards during her seven-year writing career from the USA, Oman, Peru, Kazakhstan, Seychelles, and India.
She has now created a bigger impact in literature after having won an International award of such stature from two gigantic literary institutions. Motivational Strips has writers from 163 countries and the monthly visitors to its page crosses 7.3 million. They had combined with the Indian Government’s ‘Gujarat Sahitya Akademi’ during India’s 74th Independence Day, to honour 350 poets and writers from 80 countries. This is the first time two world popular literary entities have merged to identify national and international talents.
The best of prominent world poets and writers were selected for the awards. The Founder of Motivational Strips, Shiju Shiju H. Pallithazheth has applauded Brenda Mohammed for bringing pride to Trinidad by making a mark in global Literature.

Alem Hailu continues: A word with a famous author with meteoric rises. Hearing about the other award our former guest, Brenda Mohammed added to her bag I have emailed her about her feelings and new developments.
Herald: - You are achieving success after success. How do you describe your feelings?
Brenda: - Alem, While I feel elated with each success, I am still the same simple Brenda, who enjoys the simple things in life. I can only say that these successes motivate me to write more. To date, I have written 27 books and ten of them are bestsellers.
Herald: - Could you tell us the secret behind your success?
Brenda: - Alem, there is no secret to success. Many people have asked me this question and my answer has always been to keep focused in whatever you do, remain persistent, and never give up.
Herald: - What do you advise aspiring writers who dream to follow in your footsteps?
Brenda: - I advise them to read my book, ‘How to Write for Success.’ The five- star reviews I received for that book are many. In that book, I have stated in every chapter, how to be a successful writer. Many who have read it have benefited and are successful writers today.
Herald: - In the post-Covid-19 era, the order of things has changed. The same is true of authorship and readership. What can you say about this? How do you see books as a favorite pastime?
Brenda: - Yes. Life has changed. Many are turning to Literature because it has remained constant. I see an increase in writers and readers in the Literary forums, Motivational Strips, the world’s most active writers’ forum, which now has 7.3 million visitors a month and writers from 163 countries. Shiju H Shiju H. Pallithazheth is the Founder of Motivational Strips and I am Regional Director – Operations. As the Founder of How to Write for Success Literary forum, I have also seen a large increase in membership.
Herald: - Given your meteoric rise in the field of literature shall we expect a Noble prize? Brenda: Alem, I have not yet dreamt of such an achievement, but I leave that one for the Almighty if he so wills it.

TRINIDAD WRITER WINS GUJARAT ACADEMY AWARD

 

Trinidad and Tobago writer Brenda Mohammed gets prestigious award

 

T&T writer gets prestigious award 
by RYAN BACHOO ryan.bachoo@cnc3.co.tt 
https://www.guardian.co.tt/news/tt-writer-gets-prestigious-award-6.2.1214968.2fa3806011?fbc

In the midst of the gloom of the pandemic, one T&T writer has found a reason to celebrate. 

Brenda Mohammed received the Prashamshith Pathr (Certificate of Appreciation) from one of the world’s most active writers’ forums, Motivational Strips, and the Indian government’s most respected literary institution, Gujarat Sahitya Academy.

 It was awarded to 350 prominent writers from 80 countries as India marked its 74th Independence Day on August 15. 

It’s a phenomenal achievement for a woman who was battling ovarian cancer 15 years ago. 

Forced to seek medical help abroad, Mohammed travelled to the University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Centre for surgery and chemotherapy. 

Not only did she fully recover and was able to return to her job at Republic Bank but that journey shaped everything she did after that. 

As a cancer survivor, many who were ailing sought her advice encouraging her 2013 book I Am Cancer Free. 

It became very popular among those fighting the disease. “That gave me the encouragement to write more books,” Mohammed said. 

That’s exactly what she did.

To date, she has written 27 multi-genre novels climbing the ladder at various prominent writers groups around the globe. 

 A year after joining the Literary Forum, Motivational Strips, the world’s most active writers’ forum with writers from 163 countries and monthly visitors crossing 7.3 million, she was appointed Regional Director of Operations. 

In October 2018, she was appointed an Honorary Member of the World Higher Literary Academic Council of World Nations Writers’ Union. 




Her Prashamshith Pathr award made headlines in several newspapers around the world. “I was delightfully surprised when I saw my name on the list of awardees. This is not just a premium award for me, but more than that, I value it as the success of Trinidad and Tobago writers,” she said.

 Founder of Motivational Strips, Shiju Pallithazheth said it was “a happy moment to see Trinidad and Tobago shining on the world literary map and Brenda Mohammed crowned as its literary gem.” 

While it may be the highlight of her writing career, it certainly isn’t her first award. 

In January, the Vistabella resident was inducted into The Indie Authors Hall of Fame in the United States —an establishment for self-published authors who have achieved fame. 

In December 2018, she was awarded the World Laureate in Literature by World Nations Writers’ Union.

On August 31, 2019, Mohammed was honoured by the Seychelles Government Accredited Literary Society [ LLSF] for her contribution to world poetry, creativity, and writing expertise. 

Her genres include memoirs, science fiction, romance, self-help, mystery, children’s books, and poetry. In fact, her self-help book, How to Write for Success, became an important guide for new and aspiring authors.

 It received a five-star review and a five-star seal from Readers Favorite one month after publication. 

It also won the gold award in the category non-fiction in Connections EMagazine Readers’ Choice awards 2019 and a silver medal for second place in all genres. 

It would seem that Mohammed doesn’t need any further inspiration with so many awards and accolades bestowed on her but she says: “This award has given me encouragement to do more work in the field of literature that will benefit the world at large.” 

Now, as great T&T writers such as VS Naipaul, CLR James, and Earl Lovelace have done in the past, she wants to create literature as a form of tourism for this country. “Although this is a literature award, I see this as a way of boosting tourism in Trinidad and Tobago. Motivational Strips is the world’s most active writers’ forum and has writers from 163 countries with monthly visitors crossing 7.3 million. All eyes are now focused on Trinidad and Tobago and whenever the pandemic ends, I hope we will see a flux of visitors to this country.” 

Though the Prashamshith Pathr award is her crowning achievement thus far, it is by no means the final chapter in Brenda Mohammed’s story.
