"Being recognized for my work as a mental wellness ally through the Allan Slaight Music Impact Honour means the world to me. I promise to do everything in my power to continue to be of service to anyone who wants to keep walking the path to wellness through music and community," stated Serena.

Through her journey of self-discovery - detailing despair, heartbreak, hope, joy, and love in her lyrics - Serena is just as passionate about her music as helping others find their path to mental wellness.  Her newest album, The Art of Falling Apart, invites listeners to join her mental wellness journey and helps us understand the importance of sitting with the uncomfortable moments and the wisdom in their messages.
