Born in Praia, Cape Verde, and immigrating to the United States at the age of 4, Magda’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose.

She is the founder of Voices Unchained Inc., a nonprofit organization that supports teen mothers and survivors of childhood trauma, specifically survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Inspired by her own journey of healing, Magda created Voices Unchained to provide trauma-informed programs, community events, and advocacy work that empower individuals to reclaim their voices and rewrite their stories.
Magda is also the author of My Name is King, a children’s book that instills confidence and identity in young boys through powerful affirmations. As a speaker, author, and coach, she uses her voice to amplify conversations around mental health, generational healing, and women’s empowerment.
