Brenda Zara Tan

Mother, caregiver, and author of a book-in-progress called It’s Only Hair, inspired by my daughter Myra, who battled stage 4 Burkitt’s Lymphoma at age six. When I offered to make her a wig during chemo, she simply said, “It’s only hair,” then skipped off - unbothered, unashamed, and full of joy. This space was born from the comfort I desperately needed back then. Now, I hope it brings light to anyone navigating life’s hardest moments - because Myra taught me that with the right mindset, even in the darkest times, joy is still possible
