Marina Brbot was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and moved to British Columbia, Canada with her family as a teenager. She missed her home of Australia and moved back to Melbourne in her early 20s, fell in love, married and had a son.

 

Marina considers herself an Australian born to Croatian parents. Living the best of both cultures, she has always been led by her creative nature and became an award-winning photographer and author of her first book Because She Can.

 

As a child, Marina had a fascination with powerful women and a strong sense of justice for those that have gone through hardships. She expresses herself through her portraiture, writing and motivational speaking. 

 

Lover of different cultures, passionate and determined, she has always found her mother’s giving and charitable nature her greatest inspiration.

 

She hopes this book will inspire and empower the world to love and contribute to those who need it most.
