Her life began in the shadow of witness protection and unfolded in the tumultuous landscape of foster care, where she navigated the treacherous waters of nine different homes.

Beyond her entrepreneurial acumen, Serena has penned her compelling life story in a memoir titled "Exposed: You Can't Heal When You Hide." In this raw narrative, she delves into her experiences with assault, addiction, homelessness, infidelity, mental health challenges, and, ultimately, profound healing. Her memoir is a powerful testament to the human capacity for resilience and growth.

Serena's story resonates deeply with audiences, offering a thought-provoking reminder that challenges can be confronted with passion and purpose. She has dedicated her life to personally and professionally empowering others, demonstrating that self-limiting beliefs can be shattered and replaced with unwavering self-compassion.

Wonder Woman in Business, Maddy Carroll

Maddy Carroll

Madison Carroll is a multidimensional singer and storyteller. Her intelligence shows through her musicianship, acting, writing, and political research and activism. Madison’s abilities, coupled with her dedication to practice and performance has led her to fruitful opportunities both professional and personal. 

The innate urge to move and heal others (and herself) through fields such as music, theatre, and writing, is what inspires Madison to create and share. She cares deeply about those around her and uses her identity and privilege to advocate for others whose voices are systemically and traditionally silenced. 

Originally from the small town of Hanover, Massachusetts, Madison always knew she stood out. She began singing as early as she can remember. Her mother says it’s because she almost died of suffocation during childbirth, but Madison likes to think it’s all the music her parents played and sang to her in her early years. Throughout school she became increasingly interested in writing, theatre, and politics. Singing was always her home, but she craved more knowledge and more people. 

This need to grow led Madison to Ithaca College where she blossomed into a competent musician, writer, actor, and activist. At Ithaca, and within the community, she studied all of these subjects with some of the best experts in the field. Here she worked with musicians such as Wynton Marsalis and Kim Nazarian. She workshopped her writing with authors such as Therese Marie Mailhot, Bryan Washington, Rajpreet Heir, and Jericho Brown. She studied with published political and sociological theorists such as Naeem Inayutullah, Rebecca Plante, and Sumru Atuk. Madison even worked as an assistant for the college’s Piano Technician- sparking another passion she wishes to pursue. 

She has performed in front of audiences ranging anywhere from two to one-thousand people. Some of her favorite venues include the nursing home she worked at in high school (this held some of her most enthusiastic audience members), her living room, and Boston’s TD Garden. 

Her music, both solo (Madison Carroll) and collaborative (Quail), can be found on numerous streaming platforms such as Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. The tunes can also be purchased on Bandcamp where, unlike streaming platforms, the majority of the proceeds go to the artist. 

More Than Words

Princess Maddy and her companion, Kittles, take a stroll through the forest when they suddenly find a ring beneath the leaves! On her journey to return the ring to its rightful owner, Princess Maddy encounters a giant glass castle; meets a royal dog named Ruberious; and falls instantly in love with a beautiful saxophone-playing princess named Princess Nikki. By the end, Princess Maddy returns the ring to Princess Nikki and the two rejoice outside the castle alongside Ruberious and Kittles.
